Its been my experience that most all police departments follow the FBI newletters and informational data that is disseminated on an almost daily basis.
Twenty two years ago the FBI felt that police departments were better off not keeping the policeman on a particular beat or sector for any length of time. They rationalized that the old neighborhood cop became too familiar with the residents and merchants in the area and thus opened him/herself up to the propensity for graft and favortisim. Therefore the officer would not perform his duties impartially. The recommendation was to circulate officers regularly through assignments and put them into cars as the days of the "beat cop" were bygone.
The feeling from the FBI is now that officers should be assigned to beats because it promotes good will with the residents and when they see the same cop in the neighborhood they may feel more comfortable in speaking with him. His regular presence also makes the officer more attune to anything out of the ordinary on his beat. Placing officers in cars makes them appear "mechanical" and impersonal to the average citizen. Hence the birth of "The Community Service Officer", the grants from the goverment for more beat cops and of course..the advent of the bike officer.
There...work on that. Good luck and I'd like to see what you wrote when finished.

the fact the bribe grew to become into supplied to the boy is beside the point. the fact the boy is a minor is thoroughly distinctive. Drug/Alcohol use may well be shown via urine/blood finding out or hair sampling. The boy is a minor and his mothers and fathers/parent(S) might must be introduced into the image. If the female is likewise a minor then he has each good to guard his daughter and can document a restraining or different variety of appropriate order against the boy on her behalf. To tutor the boy "abducted" the daughter relies upon on what the boy does with the daughter? Does he take her 'Away' from the custody of her father and refuses to enable her touch her father? which would be kidnapping. If she is an person then it is not kidnapping (She's to blame for her own strikes yet her strikes may well be seen endangerment). greater information could desire to earnings...

Because of modern communication equipment, cops on bikes, horses or on foot are are very effective deterrent to public disturbances and crime.
The mere presence of police officers tends to bring a certain civility to a potential situation of unrest.

I would look at the possible areas a bike could patrol a car can't go into and how much faster a bike is over someone on foot. Bike officers have very specfic and very tough training.

How about something on the enactment of the Miranda Act. That is a BIG topic in law enforcement, even today. There WAS a time that when arrested, civilians were not informed of their rights!
