If a device is incorrectly handled, contamination may occur, thus the authenticity of the evidence may be questioned. Additionally, it is important for Police Officers to be aware of the characteristics of mobile devices, such as volatile memory (Ayers, Jansen, & Brothers, 2014).
Clearly, officers who have completed a college degree in addition to having field experience and additional training through POST and/or their law enforcement association are particularly well-positioned for success with community policing efforts. 3. New Technologies are Rapidly Changing the Field of Law Enforcement
The Task Force on 21st Century Policing was intended to “strengthen community policing and strengthen trust among law enforcement officers and the communities they serve.” Its primary recommendations included improved “Training & Education.”
The importance of education in the law enforcement field has been long debated. While many agencies have historically required little to no college coursework for entry-level positions, research suggests a positive correlation between education and job performance at all levels of law enforcement.
Community policing has taken center stage as cities and states as well as the Federal government look for ways to improve interactions with the local community. The initiative is so important that the federal government has dedicated billions of dollars to hiring and training community police officers and has directed the Office ...

New automated technologies such as artificial intelligence and predictive analytics are being used by law enforcement to both improve efficiency and enhance safety. According to Accenture, 53% of police forces expect to be using AI to help them determine risk by 2023.
For police officers interested in leadership roles, taking the initiative to enroll in an accredited master’s degree in law enforcement leadership may be a better option than waiting to receive department-funded training . Good leadership training programs give officers the tools they need to not only advance their careers, but also drive positive initiatives and growth in their department. As Gregory A. Warren EdD, Captain (Ret.) of the Delaware State Police, wrote in Police Chief magazine, “great leadership drives both individual and organizational high performance, allowing an organization to realize its vision.”
So while law enforcement professionals may not have needed an advanced degree in the past, times are rapidly changing.
Traditional Criminal Justice and Training Programs Are Out of Date and Incomprehensive. It is no secret that many training programs and university criminal justice degree programs are out of date and insufficient in preparing officers for the real-world challenges they will face upon graduation.
Any money gained from criminal activities is confiscated by police and put into the national treasury for welfare profits.
If the police stole money that I need to pay employees they are without money and jobs, which means they can’t buy goods and services. If the police steal a woman’s rent money, not only is she without a home, the property owner is without a tenant. These types of actions ripple through the economy. R. Justin Freeman.
In yet aother case referenced here, the police stole $50,000 from a Christian rock band and only returned it after media attention pointed out the money siezed was a combination of ticket sales and donations meant for an orphanage. It’s really difficult to maintain public support when a police department is essentially stealing from orphans.
These traffickers don't do what they do because they're principled when it comes to personal liberties or because they're making a societal statement against national drug policy - they're wholesaling to the street dealers who push product on addicts and children.
A lot of the time as much as 75% or as little as 25% will be returned to the person if found innocent of the crime. This of course has strings attached that you give up your right to sue them in civil court. Any lawyer will tell you to take the loss because by the time you spend in getting it back you will have paid that amount in legal fees and court cost. If you do win the state can appeal and you have to fight for it again more legal cost. This can take years remember time is on the state’s side their lawyer is already paid for they control the courts (No filing fees) and pretty much get th
Albuquerque came under fire for doing just that, and were forced by media attention to give back the car they stole in violation of state laws, but did so only to avoid a court ruling that would have hurt their efforts to steal from others. So, regardless of the case or circumstances, it ends up in police control.
The reason for this problem is simple: The police have grown to depend on this money for their operational expenses.
Upon seizing evidence traditional methods of forensics are often considered first. Fingerprint and DNA evidence may be on a device that could link and offender to evidence acquired. However it is important to consider that some methods of collecting fingerprints may damage a device.
For the investigator extracting evidence from devices it is recommended to keep a log book of the process. This will allow for security in court if the process is challenged. The first port of call for any forensic investigator is to create MD5 records of any data, to preserve it’s integrity.
It is important to isolate the device from receiving signals from a network to avoid changes being made to the data it contains. For example, it is possible to wipe certain devices remotely and powering the device off will prevent this. 4.
Isolating a device from a network is often essential in order preserve data on the device. This can either be done by the use of switching the device off, using ‘Airplane Mode’ function or by using Faraday bags. Each of the following methods do have limitations and should be considered at the discretion of the individual seizing the evidence:
