This book was released on 2017 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To conduct research for the purpose of developing data pertaining to the impact of the combat veteran on domestic law enforcement, specifically, combat veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). The focus of the thesis is an examination of law enforcement agency responses including training for both the returning officer and new recruit to insure a smooth transition to domestic law enforcement. The attacks of 9/11/2001 resulted in the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of National Guard and Reservists to augment the active forces in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). A significant percentage of these men and women are police officers as well as those who are future police recruits. The potential psychological changes resulting from exposure to extended combat operations may have a negative effect on the ability of the veteran to carry out his or her duties as a domestic law enforcement officer. The impact of issues associated with combat such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be mitigated by proactive measures implemented by police agencies. The challenges faced by law enforcement agencies regarding veterans of OIF and OEF are different than those veterans from earlier wars based on the unique nature of the GWOT. The GWOT is the longest war in U.S. history. The burden of fighting the two front war was borne by a small percentage (1%) of the population. This resulted in service members having to serve multiple deployments, often with less than a year between deployments. This has not occurred in previous conflicts and is a side effect of an all-volunteer military. Sufficient time has elapsed since the initiation of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) to examine the law enforcement community response to the issue of reintegrating returning combat veterans to police work. The research includes both quantitative and qualitative results. The following research is cited: A Department of Justice 2008 publication entitled Combat Deployment and the Returning Police Officer; a 2008 Naval Center for Combat and Operational Stress Control publication entitled Can a veteran go into law enforcement after a PTSD diagnosis?; and a 2009 joint International Association of Chiefs of Police/Bureau of Justice Assistance publication entitled Employing Returning Combat Veterans as Law Enforcement Officers - Supporting the Integration or Reintegration of Returning Military Personnel into Federal, State, Local and Tribal Law Enforcement. Chapter Three focuses on specific cases of individual police officers affected by either mental health issues or physical injuries suffered in combat or as a result of their duties as police officers and the agency responses to their employment in law enforcement. Significant progress has been made addressing the challenges confronting law enforcement agencies to successfully reintegrate combat veterans to the role of police officer. Enhancements in prosthetics, a better understanding of PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and treatment protocol and the implementation of policies that have proven to be effective in retaining police officers returning from a combat deployment have contributed to positive results. Litigation has played a role in shaping policy as well. innovations such as Crisis Intervention Teams and Veterans Treatment Courts have played a role in improving the criminal justice system, particularly for veterans. Significant challenges remain and barring a return to a military draft, are unlikely to be resolved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bronze Medal Winner from the Military Writers Society of America! There’s a steep learning curve for every American soldier who deploys to the Middle East war zone. Much of that involves culture shock, and the excitement and confusion also applies to female soldiers. And when that female soldier is also a Military Police Officer, the curve gets bent way out of shape. Laura Colbert was heartland-bred and tough enough when the Army sent her to an MP unit in Baghdad, but she quickly discovered soldiering in Iraq involved a lot more than she expected. How to establish her military cop cred? How to deal with chauvinistic soldiers? How to deal with Iraqis—men who disrespected her and women who initially distrusted her? How much military law applied in a lawless land? And dealing with even the simplest things, like how to pee standing up. Laura managed it and survived, but the learning curve just bent in another direction when she came home from war suffering with stress and anxiety that eventually bloomed into Post-Traumatic Stress. “...Since she got back, Naylor has been on a new mission, one she believes also serves her country: She shows...what the war is really like for the soldiers who have to fight it.” —Dee J. Hall, Wisconsin State Journal “Colbert...has told her story...in the hopes of relating the reality of her war to people half a world away who experienced it only through increasingly small TV news clips and articles in print publications.” —Nathan Phelps, USA TODAY Network
Download or read book Rise of the Warrior Cop written by Radley Balko and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking history of how American police forces have been militarized is now revised and updated. Newly added material brings the story through 2020, including analysis of the Ferguson protests, the Obama and Trump administrations, and the George Floyd protests. The last days of colonialism taught America’s revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But over the last two centuries, America’s cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as enemies. In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians’ ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative that spans from America’s earliest days through today shows how a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society.
