Course connection
Chapter 5 Law Enforcement today helped me prepare for Security Forces Officer by: LO1 The four responsibilities of the police are to enforce laws, to provide services, to prevent crimes, and to preserve the peace. LO4 Intelligence-led policing uses past crime patterns to predict when and where crime will occur in the future. LO5 The police academy is a controlled environment where police recruits learn the basics of policing from instructors in classrooms. Field training takes place in the “real world”: the recruit goes on patrol with an experienced police officer (Gaines and Miller, 2013, p.164). |
