SWU – Community and Police

Keeping things in perspective – Policy regarding police procedures were put in place to keep police in check. Each state have different policies and procedures so please keep in mind that what maybe a policy in one state may not be in another state. Understanding some of the policies from law enforcement will bridge the gap in effectively communicating and understanding procedures that most people in the community may not know or do not understand.  Who is truly programmed when it comes to police and the community? Let the discussion begin!!!

When deadly force is permitted?How are policies determined and can it be changed?What classifies a lethal weapon such as Weapons of Mass destruction?Citizens on Patrol, why do some police department have citizen patrols? Can anyone be a part of citizen on patrol?Is there training that people must go through to be a part of citizens on patrol?How do police handle shooting someone? Do you feel it affects them mentally and emotionally?Do you feel police are perceived as being unemotional/ or as programmed killers that only look at things in one way?How do police handle mental health calls?Supreme Court to hear new case about policies regarding Mental Health and how to deal with it. Your thoughts?
