This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing can be an effective counterinsurgency tool. Police are able to determine the individual needs of each community and address each constituency's concern which in turn enhances the government's legitimacy. The Iraqi Police face the challenge of transforming themselves from an institution that served the state to an institution that serves the people. They have so far failed to achieve that paradigm shift. Commanders in the field that have recently executed the Police Transition mission, as well as experts in the Iraqi Police training process, admit that after years and millions of dollars in training and equipping, their developmental progress lags behind that of the military. Iraqi Police, however, have models of behavior they can rely on that are compatible with this change. Introducing the Community-Oriented Policing (COP) philosophy into their training may provide a reliable model of behavior to help the Iraqi Police accomplish this transformation. Their ability to change may have a direct impact on the legitimacy and success of the Government of Iraq (GOI). The success of the GOI may directly impact the United State's National Strategic Objectives. COP is a philosophy with new paradigm. It is a philosophy that provides a complete cohesive organizational plan for modifying police work to achieve effective crime prevention. COP is a philosophy, not a program. It requires the police and the community to cooperate in identifying problems, then work together to solve them. In order for the COP to work, everyone in the police organization must commit to the philosophy. Police officers have to motivate the community to participate in police auxiliary activities. Decentralization and flatter organizations are a necessity. Institutions cannot create a specialized COP unit. The institution has to change. The monograph first lays out how COP is compatible with COIN theories and doctrine. The monograph explores the evolution of policing as a means of social control and crime prevention in Western societies. The COP philosophy emerged as an effective crime prevention methodology. The monograph defines COP and explains its different components. It explores non Western experiences with social control and crime prevention as micro-histories in India, Nigeria, and Israel. A comparison model displays common social control mechanisms within all three countries. The monograph also addresses how time has played a factor in the evolution of crime prevention and the adoption of COP to balance the crime prevention responsibilities between the government and communities in India, Nigeria, and Israel. It also discusses conditions that prevented a similar evolution in Iraq. The monograph closes with a conclusion applicable to the situation in Iraq and offers recommendations for COP implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper seeks to show how social, political, cultural, and environmental factors have combined to impede Iraqi police development in ways that are predictable, understandable, and, with external help, resolvable. The corruption and abuse found in the Iraqi police services cannot simply be explained by poor leadership, the actions of a few corrupt individuals, or even the competing agendas of the various militias that are fighting for influence in post-Saddam Iraq. Rather, one must explain why such practices occur despite the fact they are unacceptable according to Iraqi cultural norms." -- P. v.

Download or read book Development and Reform of the Iraqi Police Forces written by Strategic Studies Institute and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly every week, newspapers carry stories of the failure of the Iraqi police to provide basic civil security for the citizens of Iraq. Despite millions of dollars in aid, equipment, education, and advisors, more than 4 years later police force development lags far behind the military. Numerous reasons are offered to account for this gap: corrupt practices left over from the previous regime, infiltration by militias, weak leadership, competition by better armed and organized criminal and militant groups, and so on. However, the military is also subject to these same influences, thus none of these explanations by themselves or in combination are satisfactory. But such an explanation is critical if policymakers and advisors are going to successfully facilitate police reform. This paper argues that the poor political and security environment impacts social, political, and cultural factors in ways that are predictable, understandable, and, with external help, resolvable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 2007, more than 4 years after the fall of Saddam's regime, a departing Coalition division commander told the author that the failure of the local police forces to provide a permanent security presence was the biggest obstacle to stability in Iraq. In explaining why this was the case, he cited now familiar problems associated with the Iraqi police: corruption, sectarianism, and intimidation by militias and criminal organizations. Nearly every week, newspapers carry stories of the failure of the Iraqi police to provide basic civil security for the citizens of Iraq.Despite the fact that a strong, democratic police force has been recognized since the beginning as critical to establishing a stable democracy in Iraq, its development appears to lag dramatically behind many other governmental and security institutions. Given the millions of dollars in aid, equipment, education, and advisors the U.S. Government has spent, it is worth asking why, 4 years later, there seems to have been little progress. For many observers, in fact, the failure of the Iraqi police seems to be one of the biggest surprises of the war in Iraq, as, unlike the Army, the police were never attacked or disbanded by Coalition forces. As counterinsurgency expert Bruce Hoffman noted in his September 2006 congressional testimony, in the light of the significant improvements in the Iraqi military, the "lack of progress, and reversal of previous advances regarding the Iraqi police are all the more disappointing and disheartening." The purpose of this paper is to offer an account of the difficulties of Iraqi police reform that takes into 2 account social, political, cultural, and environmental factors which, in combination, are impeding Iraqi police development. There are committed leaders within the Iraqi Ministry of Interior and police forces; however, the "culture of crisis" which has arisen since the fall of Saddam complicates their ability to make any headway in reforming the Iraqi police. Despite this, it would be a mistake to conclude that Iraqi culture is incapable of sustaining a just and effective police force. Developing it, however, will require sustained support from Coalition advisors who do not compromise regarding practices which are incompatible with democratic policing. This paper will conclude with suggestions for a way ahead for advisors that allows them to maintain their integrity while still making progress toward building an effective force.

Download or read book Rescue Response and Resilience a Critical Incident Review of the Orlando Public Safety Response to the Attack on the Pulse Nightclub written by Frank Straub and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shooting attack on the Pulse nightclub in June 2016 claimed the lives of 49 individuals and injured 58 more. It was an event of extreme violence, carnage, and confusion. Yet the Orlando Police Department (OPD) performed with great courage and professionalism, averting a potentially greater loss of life. Recognizing that there were many lessons to be shared and learned from this incident, the OPD asked the COPS Office to conduct a Critical Incident Review of the attack. This Police Foundation report on the incident review details multiple aspects of the attack and response, including leadership, collaboration, tactics, equipment, training, emergency medical care, officer safety, public information, and community relationships. In so doing, it identifies best practices for planning, training, and procedures in all areas of response to a similar attack or mass casualty event and can serve as a valuable guide to law enforcement or first responders seeking to prepare for similar incidents.

Download or read book Fighting at the Legal Boundaries written by Kenneth Watkin OMM, CD, QC and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international law governing armed conflict is at a crossroads, as the formal framework of laws designed to control the exercise of self-defense and conduct of inter-state conflict finds itself confronted with violent 21st Century disputes of a very different character. Military practitioners who seek to stay within the bounds of international law often find themselves applying bodies of law-IHRL, IHL, ICL-in an exclusionary fashion, and adherence to those boundaries can lead to a formal and often rigid application of the law that does not adequately address contemporary security challenges. Fighting at the Legal Boundaries offers a holistic approach towards the application of the various constitutive parts of international law. The author focuses on the interaction between the applicable bodies of law by exploring whether their boundaries are improperly drawn, or are being interpreted in too rigid a fashion. Emphasis is placed on the disconnect that can occur between theory and practice regarding how these legal regimes are applied and interact with one another. Through a number of case studies, Fighting at the Legal Boundaries explores how the threat posed by insurgents, terrorists, and transnational criminal gangs often occurs not only at the point where these bodies of law interact, but also in situations where there is significant overlap. In this regard, the exercise of the longstanding right of States to defend nationals, including the conduct of operations such as hostage rescue, can involve the application of human rights based law enforcement norms to counter threats transcending the conflict spectrum. This book has five parts: Part I sets out the security, legal, and operational challenges of contemporary conflict. Part II focuses on the interaction between the jus ad bellum, humanitarian law and human rights, including an analysis of the historical influences that shaped their application as separate bodies of law. Emphasis is placed on the influence the proper authority principle has had in the human rights based approach being favored when dealing with "criminal" non-State actors during both international and non-international armed conflict. Part III analyzes the threats of insurgency and terrorism, and the state response. This includes exploring their link to criminal activity and the phenomenon of transnational criminal organizations. Part IV addresses the conduct of operations against non-State actors that span the conflict spectrum from inter-state warfare to international law enforcement. Lastly, Part V looks at the way ahead and discusses the approaches that can be applied to address the evolving, diverse and unique security threats facing the international community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2018 Law & Legal Studies PROSE Award The consequences of big data and algorithm-driven policing and its impact on law enforcement In a high-tech command center in downtown Los Angeles, a digital map lights up with 911 calls, television monitors track breaking news stories, surveillance cameras sweep the streets, and rows of networked computers link analysts and police officers to a wealth of law enforcement intelligence. This is just a glimpse into a future where software predicts future crimes, algorithms generate virtual “most-wanted” lists, and databanks collect personal and biometric information. The Rise of Big Data Policing introduces the cutting-edge technology that is changing how the police do their jobs and shows why it is more important than ever that citizens understand the far-reaching consequences of big data surveillance as a law enforcement tool. Andrew Guthrie Ferguson reveals how these new technologies —viewed as race-neutral and objective—have been eagerly adopted by police departments hoping to distance themselves from claims of racial bias and unconstitutional practices. After a series of high-profile police shootings and federal investigations into systemic police misconduct, and in an era of law enforcement budget cutbacks, data-driven policing has been billed as a way to “turn the page” on racial bias. But behind the data are real people, and difficult questions remain about racial discrimination and the potential to distort constitutional protections. In this first book on big data policing, Ferguson offers an examination of how new technologies will alter the who, where, when and how we police. These new technologies also offer data-driven methods to improve police accountability and to remedy the underlying socio-economic risk factors that encourage crime. The Rise of Big Data Policing is a must read for anyone concerned with how technology will revolutionize law enforcement and its potential threat to the security, privacy, and constitutional rights of citizens.
