Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficiency is the life blood of an emergency communications center. Fire-rescue and police dispatchers must provide vital information with speed and accuracy at initial response or the lives of emergency personnel may be jeopardized. The City of North Port, Florida, believes that all aspects of emergency services, including communications, should be run efficiently. To that end, a fire-rescue/police communications consolidation study was undertaken. For the past ten months, several studies have been initiated by a four member police-fire-rescue management team. They have included a demographic research study, staff questionnaires and interviews, field visitations to dual fire-rescue/police dispatch centers, and a consolidation analysis conducted by the State of Florida. With the insights gained from this information, the City of North Port will be able to build a communications center that is modern, efficient, and prepared for the future.

Download or read book Police and Fire Consolidation written by International Association of Fire Fighters and published by . This book was released on 2008* with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Combining roles of fire fighters and police officers is a concept that challenges and undermines the career fire fighter's role as a guardian of public safety. In the past, the term 'consolidation' was used to describe the merger of fire and police departments and roles. Today, this form of public safety operation employs cross-trained personnel who perform both fire fighting and law enforcement functions known as Public Safety Officers (PSO). Due to the gradual transition of terminology and usage, 'consolidation,' 'public safety officer' and 'PSO' are used interchangeably throughout the text. The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) developed this manual to provide their members with general information about this practice and insights for prevention. Research and academic/municipal studies are limited on this issue, therefore, the content herein includes the opinions of IAFF and IAFC officers, staff experts and members of the IAFF and IAFC, as well as documented outside resources. Consolidation as used in this document is generally defined as: Elimination of the fire chief as head of the fire service in favor of a public safety director serving over both fire and police and the replacement of career fire fighters with 'public safety officers' who perform both police and fire functions. [...] This guide offers information about the issues that surround consolidation; addresses the arguments you can expect to hear for and against; an historical overview; warning signals that may indicate your city is considering consolidation; and guidelines to develop a preventive strategy.".

Download or read book Our Enemies in Blue written by Kristian Williams and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's begin with the basics: violence is an inherent part of policing. The police represent the most direct means by which the state imposes its will on the citizenry. They are armed, trained, and authorized to use force. Like the possibility of arrest, the threat of violence is implicit in every police encounter. Violence, as well as the law, is what they represent. Using media reports alone, the Cato Institute's last annual study listed nearly seven thousand victims of police "misconduct" in the United States. But such stories of police brutality only scratch the surface of a national epidemic. Every year, tens of thousands are framed, blackmailed, beaten, sexually assaulted, or killed by cops. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on civil judgments and settlements annually. Individual lives, families, and communities are destroyed. In this extensively revised and updated edition of his seminal study of policing in the United States, Kristian Williams shows that police brutality isn't an anomaly, but is built into the very meaning of law enforcement in the United States. From antebellum slave patrols to today's unarmed youth being gunned down in the streets, "peace keepers" have always used force to shape behavior, repress dissent, and defend the powerful. Our Enemies in Blue is a well-researched page-turner that both makes historical sense of this legalized social pathology and maps out possible alternatives.

China faces a complicated security environment with a wide range of internal and external threats. Rapidly expanding international interests are creating demands for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to conduct new missions ranging from protecting Chinese shipping from Somali pirates to evacuating citizens from Libya. The most recent Chinese defense white paper states that the armed forces must "make serious preparations to cope with the most complex and difficult scenarios . . . so as to ensure proper responses . . . at any time and under any circumstances."

Download or read book Crime and Policing in Rural and Small Town America written by Ralph A. Weisheit and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2005-09-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most researchers see the urban setting as being the only laboratory for studying crime problems throughout the United States, Crime and Policing in Rural and Small-Town America directly challenges this notion with an authoritative look at crime and the criminal justice system in rural America today. The assumption that rural crime is rare and comparable across various communities has led to incompatible theories and irrelevant practices. In order to transform this misconstruction, the Third Edition offers a clear outline of the definition of rural and provides a vital argument for why rural and small-town crime should be studied more than it is. The book also explores the individual nature of issues that emerge in these communities, including illegal drug production, domestic violence, agricultural crimes, rural poverty, and gangs, in addition to the training needs of rural police, probation in rural areas, and rural jails and prisons. Responding to rural crime requires an awareness of its context and how justice is carried out, as well as an appreciation of how features vary across rural areas. Understanding the relationships among crime, geography, and culture in the rural setting can reveal useful ideas and implications for crime and justice in communities across the United States.
