This book was released on 1988 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of trends and issues in drug trafficking in the United States formed the basis of recommended strategies and procedures for reducing drug-related corruption among law enforcement personnel in California by the year 2000. The analysis suggested that increased enforcement efforts in the southeastern United States is likely to increase the use of California as a major point of entry of drugs. Futures research techniques were used to create several scenarios, from which one was chosen as the basis for the development of policy recommendations. The main policies recommended include the development of a mandatory training program focusing on drug-related corruption and reaching all law enforcement personnel, the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and the mandatory drug testing of all law enforcement personnel. The analysis also includes an implementation plan and a suggested transition process through which the plan would be managed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modified Delphi panel of 11 individuals identified several key trends and events as having the most impact on police corruption in California by the year 2000 and proposed a strategic management plan that focuses on prevention of corruption and enforcement of standards. Five trends were identified as having an impact on police corruption: level of supervision quality, level of hiring standards, level of job satisfaction among police officers, level of self-interest, and level of positive police/public relations. The key events identified include: mandatory ethics training for police officers, integrity tests instituted statewide, creation of an office of special prosecutor, a California state license requirement for police officers, and drug decriminalization. The media panel response forecasted that all trends would fail to realize the desired level for a decade from now. Every event except drug decriminalization was forecasted to have at least a 50-percent chance of occurring by 1995. No obstacles to the strategic management plan are anticipated that would preclude implementation given a sound transition plan.

Download or read book What Impact Will Law Enforcement Have on Illegal Drug Manufacturing by the Year 2000 written by Gary R. Barnes and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1983 and 1988, U.S. law enforcement agencies seized 3,084 illegal drug laboratories, nearly 52 percent of which were located in California. This futures study investigates what impact law enforcement in the State will have on illegal drug manufacturing by the year 2000. The analysis identified five trends that will have the greatest impact on the study issue: increasing use of a multi- regional approach to the enforcement and detection of illegal drug laboratories, increasing costs to local government for cleanup of illegal labs, increasing number of sophisticated illegal lab operators, increasing drug education in schools, and increasing number of illegal labs in southern California. In addition, five probable events were incorporated into the analysis: mandatory drug education in schools, legalization of some drugs, passage of life-in-prison law for illegal drug manufacturing or trafficking, U.S. Supreme Court ruling reducing search and seizure requirements during illegal drug investigations, and U.S. Supreme Court ruling that drug asset forfeitures are unconstitutional. The normative scenario developed here encompasses two major strategies: formation of police task forces to address illegal drug laboratories and enhancement of drug education programs. The paper provides strategic and transition management strategies designed to implement this scenario.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent police corruption cases in several cities have underscored the link between police corruption and illegal drug activities. This report studies the impact of drug trafficking on police corruption in large cities with significant drug problems. Although GAO did not locate any central data sources that would allow it to reliably estimate the extent of police corruption or how much corruption is drug-related, the literature GAO reviewed, along with interviews with officials and academic experts, provided information on the (1) nature and extent of known drug-related police corruption in certain large cities; (2) factors associated with known drug-related police corruption; and (3) practices that have been recommended or implemented to prevent or detect drug-related police corruption.
Download or read book Drugs and Policing written by Brian K. Payne and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2005 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills a void in the literature by examining from a scientific perspective the official police response to drugs, drug use, abuse, and dealing and how the different levels of police agencies process drug cases. Current drug texts simply do not address the drug problem from a criminal justice or criminological perspective in a clear, consistent fashion. At the beginning of each chapter, a series of critical thinking questions is provided. Throughout each chapter, a series of tables, figures, and charts are used to illustrate themes considered. With these items, critical thinking questions are included below each respective item. The text also makes use of Internet technology, inasmuch as students are referred to recommended Internet sites throughout each chapter. Many of these Internet sites deal with pharmacological and biological aspects of drug use. Three unique pedagogical features of the book will help students learn various drug-related issues. First, a box insert titled 'In the Streets' appears in each chapter that includes a discussion about some aspects of drug use related to the chapter's focus. A second box titled 'Tabloid Justice' also appears in each chapter discussing a particular celebrity's battles with drug abuse as it was considered in the press. A third box, 'Drugs and Research,' in each chapter highlights a specific drug study that should be of interest to students. This book will appeal to a number of criminal justice, criminology, and sociology program courses on drug abuse. Professionals interested in learning more about the criminal justice response to the drug problem, as well as police academies may also find the book useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic drug enforcement takes many forms, from the rural patrol officer who happens upon a small-scale mobile “shake and bake” methamphetamine lab during a routine traffic stop, to the city narcotics detective who initiates a low-level buy-bust operation that nets a few hits of crack cocaine on the street corner, to the local, state, and federal agents working in multiagency task forces that coordinate a sting operation that nets thousands of kilos of near-pure cocaine being transported by tractor-trailer. Regardless of the form, there is a high probability that these authorities have exploited access to known offenders and exerted pressure on those individuals to gather inside information on illicit drug sales. These confidential informants provide intelligence on the inner workings of drug operations in exchange for leniency or remuneration, providing a relatively cheap source of intelligence that fuels much of the ongoing war on drugs. In other instances, law enforcement authorities will reach out to members of the criminal underworld who are willing to provide valuable intelligence in exchange for money. Despite the central role of informants in contemporary police operations, little is known about the shadowy relationships among law enforcement, snitches, and offenders. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the narcotics, homicide, and street-level vice operations in two major metropolitan police departments, Speaking Truth to Power takes readers to the front lines of the war on drugs to unravel this complex web of information exchange.

Book excerpt: This study proposes a long-range plan for a proactive addressing of police corruption and the enhancement of police integrity in California by the year 2000. The study first considers the past and present trends and events that have contributed to the existing concern about police integrity in California. Future possibilities regarding this issue are also projected. The analysis considers how a society where 53 percent of a random sample report willingness to commit an illegal investment transaction influences police. It also assesses the impact of that police faction that is willing to bend the law and deceive authorities to get a known felon off the streets. The strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities known and anticipated for law enforcement are considered in the development of four strategies. These strategies address training, values communication, internal investigations, and drug abuse as they pertain to the issue of police integrity. Stakeholders who would impact or be impacted by the implementation of these strategies are identified, and assumptions are made regarding their probable reactions. A proactive approach to the problem is suggested through a transition organizational structure, management framework, and follow-up mechanisms.
Download or read book Drug Trafficking and Police Corruption written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police officers working in countries plagued by drug trafficking are often offered a choice between "plata o plomo" ("silver or lead"). Given this option, it is not surprising that levels of police corruption are high in these nation-states. Significantly, however, levels of police corruption do differ radically between those countries where the levels of drug production and trafficking are similar. This thesis examines the case of Mexico, where corruption has been historically high and has increased in recent times; and the case of Colombia, where levels of police corruption have been relatively low and might even be said to be on the decline. Specialists in police reform and anti-corruption typically look at administrative factors such as ethics, salary levels, the purging of corrupt officials, and the recruiting and training of "clean" officers as essential elements in the prevention of police corruption. While these factors explain some of the differences in levels of corruption, this thesis fills an important gap in the existing literature by moving beyond these conventional explanations. In particular, it introduces a country-specific approach to drug-related police corruption, including factors such as the organizational structure of the police force (centralized or decentralized), the legacy of the "political criminal nexus" in the country concerned, and both the size and "ideology" of the drug trafficking organizations involved.
