Policing in the 21st Century: The Importance of Public Security

I was honored to be asked by the student leaders of the University of Chicago Legal Forum to give this keynote, and thrilled, really, to be back home. Hyde Park has changed so much and in so many good ways. I admit to feeling sad about the demise of Ribs and Bibs, though. The food was not always great, but the sniffs were incomparable. I have thought a great deal about what I wanted to say today. My primary goal was to emphasize the hard work-great work-that I, along with ten other colleagues who range from police chiefs to young activists, from civil rights lawyers to union representatives, who all served on President Obama\u27s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, have done. But, after I was in town last week for the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual conference, where I heard FBI Director James Comey speak at the PERF (that\u27s the Police Executive Research Forum to non-insiders) annual town meeting, I decided to shift the emphasis of my remarks

Why Police Ethics Matter

When police abuse their duties, it undermines the state's internal security. It creates a crisis of legitimacy of police because people detest them for their abuse and tyranny. In 1957, IACP (the International Association of Chiefs of Police) developed an ethics tool Code of Ethics for law enforcement. Nevertheless, training has been focused and emphasized on techniques and tactics of policing. Ethics is not the part of presell of the training. The Code of Ethics is pronounced once in a life only during pass-out day. Police face dilemmas in real-time situations with people and society. This is why, this article is concerned with ethics a tool, and procedures to reduce police abuse

America's Gun Shows: Open Markets for Criminals

An estimated 5,000 gun shows are conducted in the United States every year. Federal law mandates that licensed dealers at these events perform background checks on purchasers before completing a sale. There is an exemption in federal law, however, for private sales by individuals who are "not engaged in the business" of selling firearms, or who only make "occasional" sales. The Gun Show Loophole allows these unlicensed vendors to sell firearms at gun shows without conducting background checks on purchasers. To date, only 17 states have acted on their own initiative to close the Gun Show Loophole

Drug Evaluation and Classification Program: An Evaluation and Validation Study in the State of Florida

Over the past several decades, the fatality rates in traffic crashes related to drug-impaired driving have increased significantly. Specialized law enforcement officers are currently being deployed to help reduce the number of drug-related traffic crash fatalities and identify drugged impaired drivers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) developed the drug evaluation and classification program (DECP) to certify law enforcement officers as drug recognition experts (DREs). An evaluation and validation study was conducted on the DECP in Florida. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the DECP in Florida to determine the accuracy rates of DREs and determine which core set of measurements (signs and symptoms) from the drug influence evaluation (DIE) face sheets correspond to each of the seven drug categories, and to determine if any core set of measurements from the DIEs are identified with the inaccuracies of DRE opinions. This study is a quantitative cross-sectional descriptive and predictive examination of Florida\u27s DECP. The population for this study comprised the enforcement DIEs and toxicological results for 2019 in the state of Florida with a target sample size being calculated for a logistic regression analysis. This study analyzed the DECP accuracy rates in Florida during 2019. The study also completed a binary logistic regression analysis to determine the core set of measurements (signs and symptoms) to predict the drug categories determined by toxicology results and the core set of measurements (signs and symptoms) to predict the drug categories inaccurately determined by the DREs
