Updating the '10 Deadly Errors' of policing

The Dirty Dozen: Updating the '10 Deadly Errors' of policing


Los Angeles Homicide Detective Pierce Brooks created the “10 Deadly Errors” — here is my take on those original ten as well as two more I’ve taken the liberty of adding


The “10 Deadly Errors” hung in my locker every day of my career. I originally obtained them from the book, Officer Down, Code Three, by Los Angeles Homicide Detective Pierce Brooks.
After attending “too many” police funerals, Brooks compiled a list of errors that were being repeatedly committed in officer-down cases.
Here is my take on those original 10 as well as two more I’ve taken the liberty of adding in order to make “The Dirty Dozen.”
1.) Attitude: If you fail to keep your mind on the job for any reason, for your entire shift you may miss critical indicators of impending danger. Having an unhealthy attitude can also cause an officer to slip into such a malaise they are susceptible to committing other errors as a matter of routine.
Any coach will tell their players that attitude can make the difference between a win and a loss in any game. This could apply to law enforcement, except for the fact that police work is not a game and losing is not an option.
2.) Tombstone Courage: When you wear a badge every day, your courage is a given and does not need to be proven on every call. In some cases police work is best done when done as a team. Do not hesitate to enthusiastically give and patiently wait for backup.
Sometimes it’s just plain smart to slow things down or even disengage.
3.) Not Enough Rest: An old veteran told a rookie, “To survive this career all you have to do is pay attention!”
Being alert is a necessity in law enforcement, and you can’t do that when you are sleepy or asleep.
4.) Taking a Bad Position: On every call, with every suspect, on every approach, you must evaluate your position constantly. You must know how to use cover, concealment, barriers and relative positioning to your advantage.
5.) Missing Danger Signs: Prior to most attacks there are usually indications that an assault is imminent. Recognize changes in a suspect’s muscular tension, an increase in respirations, modified offensive stances, offensive hand positioning, glances toward exits, looking for witnesses, checking out your weapon, furtive movements, signaling toward accomplices and verbal threats to do you harm. Learn to recognize danger signs and never explain them away. Avoid developing technological tunnel vision.
When you are in contact with the public, look up and look out.
Get your head out of your apps!
6.) Failure to Watch the Suspect’s Hands: The hands kill. Throughout every call and contact, “WATCH THE HANDS!”
7.) Relaxing Too Soon: If you are able to convince yourself that alarms are false before you arrive on scene, you are probably an officer who is “routinely” relaxing too soon on most of your contacts. Officers must resist the tendency to relax when they confront compliant suspects, because feigning compliance is a common criminal tactic. If you find one suspect, one weapon, one explosive device, one of anything dangerous, do not relax. Continue the search for more. Remember, nothing is “routine.”
8.) Improper Use or No Use of Handcuffs: If a suspect is arrested and transported, policies all over the nation require that they be handcuffed. Officers should be as proficient with multiple tactical handcuffing techniques as they are with their firearms.
9.) No Search or Poor Search: In today’s world, criminals can buy clothes that have secret compartments, within which they can conceal weapons, drugs, contraband and fruits of a crime. It is imperative that every arrested suspect be searched thoroughly. Search the suspect’s person incident to arrest as well as the lunge area.  Then search them again before you take them into the jail. Additionally, you must search every suspect turned over to you for transport by other officers.
Remember what it says on the dollar. “In God We Trust.” For a police officer the list must stop there.
10.) Dirty or Inoperable Weapon: You should neither leave firearms training, nor hit the streets with a dirty weapon. Some officers never take the time to truly learn how to field strip their weapon and when that happens they stop properly cleaning their weapons. Before beginning your shift make certain long guns are “squad ready.” There should be no firearm in your squad that you can’t quickly access and bring into the fight under stress. Take care of your weapons and they will take care of you.
Additionally, a weapon is only operable if an officer is mentally prepared to use it, when a life depends on it. Are you prepared?
Those are the original ten. Here are two new deadly errors I’ve added to the list.
11.) Failure to Wear a Vest or a Seatbelt: Vests and seat belts have saved thousands of officers’ lives, but they can only save your life if you are wearing them.
12.) Failure to Maintain Physical/Emotional Fitness: There is an urgent need for police officers to maintain a high level of fitness to face both the considerable physical and emotional challenges this career has to offer. To enhance your physical fitness level, train, run, lift and stretch at least three times a week. To maintain emotional fitness, laugh, love, work, play and pray, while striving to maintain a positive perspective on your life and career.
Now with that said, you may hit the streets... and in the words of Sergeant Phil Esterhaus, “Be careful out there!”

8 keys to a well-written police use-of-force report.


8 keys to a well-written police use-of-force report

A well-written force response report may take a little longer to write on the front end, but will certainly save you much more time (and trouble) later


Considering the number of contacts officers have with citizens, police use of force is statistically a rare event. “A 1999 BJS report estimated that less than half of one percent of an estimated 44 million people who had face-to-face contact with a police officer were threatened with or actually experienced force,” according to a DOJ document.
Further, when officers do use force, it’s been shown that in a high percentage of these events (as high as 99.58 percent) the force was reasonable and justifiable. Even with the high percentage of reasonable and justifiable uses of force, we seem to be losing a disproportionate amount of cases in civil lawsuits.
The most likely culprit for this disparity is poor — or lack of — documentation of use-of-force incidents.
Writing a Great UOF Report
When an officer uses force in an event, the force response event should be thoroughly documented by the involved officer(s). This documentation would include, but not be limited to:
1. Written report
2. Photographs
3. Evidence collection
4. Recorded statements
For the purposes of this discussion, let’s focus on written documentation. This is not an exhaustive list but it is a good starting point to remember while writing — or, for supervisors, reviewing — a force response report.
1. Pre-Event Details: Include the facts and details prior to the force response. These include:
    a. When/Where/What of the event
    b. How did the officer get there?
        i. What type of event: Call for Service/Flag down/On-view…
        ii. Officer appearance and mode of transportation
    c. What drew the officer’s attention specifically to the suspect?
    d. What commands were given to the suspect?
    e. What were the responses to those commands?
2. What was the reasonable suspicion/probable cause prior to the seizure and/or force response?
    a. Describe each and every fact/element to support the seizure/ force response
3. Pre-assault indicators should be noted if present.
    a. They should be described in detail, not with canned phrases like “fighting stance”
4. The “totality of the circumstances” should include all the facts known to or perceived by the officer. Some people have reduced this phrase to just some snappy catch phrase. In reality this is one of the most critical elements of the report that some officers feel they can skimp on.
    a. Why did the officer use force? These include:
        i. Severity of the crime(s) at issue. This is the crime that was occurring when the officer decided to use the force option, not necessarily only the original crime.
        ii. Threat to officers and others
        iii. Level and duration of resistance
        iv. Other force factors relevant to the event describing “why” the officer used the force response, including but not limited to:
            1. Number of officers/suspects
            2. Proximity to weapons
            3. Size and strength differentials
            4. Injury or exhaustion of officer
    b. What force option was used and how was it used (intrusiveness of the force)?
        i. Describe the force option/technique in detail
        ii. Describe how it was used, including the intention of the officer
        iii. Describe the effect and/or non-effect of the force option
5. Suspect action drives officer response. This is a theme that is true and should be reflected in the report. The only innate tool possessed by officers to obtain compliance with the suspect is their voice. After that, it is the suspect that chooses not to comply through his/her actions. These actions are then what compel the officer to use a force option to affect the arrest, prevent the escape or overcome the resistance of the suspect.
6. Each officer should document what they did and why they did it.
    a. It is proper for an officer to describe what he/she saw another officer doing
    b. It is not proper for that officer to describe “why” the other officer was doing it. The “why” should be documented by the officer using the force option.
7. Post-custody actions should be described in detail.
    a. Was medical treatment provided?
        i. When was it provided/What was it/Who provided it?
    b. Were the handcuffs properly tightened and double-locked prior to transport?
8. Supervisory review. It is extremely important to have a supervisor respond to a force response event to oversee the investigation and make sure all the proper steps are taken to insure a thorough investigation is done. It is also important that the officer’s report is reviewed and approved prior to submission.
    a. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to make sure the report is the best it can be. Supervisors should not by shy to send a force response report back to be re-written if important facts or details are missing.
The well-written force response report should provide enough detail so that a reader of the report could make a short film about the event. When the filming is over and the involved officer views the film, the officer should be able to say, “that is how I remember the event.” A well-written force response report may take a little longer to write on the front end, but will certainly save you much more time and trouble later.

購置隨身攝影機 Body Cam 避免執勤爭議

有別於警車上的行車紀錄器,隨身攝影機可以有效錄下執勤狀況,防止執勤爭議。
塞麗娜警察局長稱讚該局所購置的隨身攝影機錄下這此一可能被大眾誤解為過度使用武力的逮捕吸毒犯勤務事件影片。

比較兩段影片,一段是警車上行車紀錄器拍攝的,一段是隨身攝影機所拍攝的,若無隨身攝影機拍下嫌犯揮拳毆打員警的影片,這名員警有可能被控過度使用武力。

Chief: Assault of cop, takedown of suspect proves utility of body cams


Police chief is praising his agency’s investment in body cameras after a video captured an incident that may have been misconstrued as excessive force


By PoliceOne Staff
CELINA, Texas — The police chief of the Celina Police Department is praising the agency’s investment in body cameras after a video captured an incident that may have been misconstrued as excessive force.
NBC-DFW reports the officer in the video responded to a domestic disturbance when a struggle occurred. 
The department released a video capturing the takedown from two angles — one from the officer’s dash cam and a second from the officer’s body-worn camera.

In the dash cam video, it appears the officer takes down the suspect, high on heroin, “for no reason,” according to the department. 
The body camera tells a different story. As seen in the video, the suspect throws a punch at the officer in an attempt to escape. 
A vehicle in front of the pair blocked the dash cam’s view of the assault.
"I think the future of policing is transparency," Police Chief Mark Metdker told NBC-DFW. "Let's be as transparent as possible. We have nothing to hide."

The man was arrested without further incident.

奧克拉荷馬州艾達市假人警察深受歡迎

這個城市最受歡迎的警察是冷靜、沉默的類型。
POPO假人遏止超速,贏得民眾的支持,雖然它並非真正的警察。

 奧克拉荷馬州艾達市最受歡迎的警察不是真人,而是一個心肺復甦術訓練用假人,居民稱它為塑膠波波(POPO),它在這個城市裡,已成為一個名人。
奧克拉荷馬州艾達市的警察局長去年做了一個非常受歡迎的決定─分配一個交通警察新兵,儘管它沒有知覺。
由於新手的巡邏警車出現在大家抱怨超速的社區當中,它變得非常為眾人所喜愛,市民甚至還替它買甜甜圈、在Facebook上讚揚它,以及在佈道時提及它的名字。
警察局長邁克米勒表示,「假人被證實比經驗豐富的真正員警在遏制超速上更具效果,因為它有一個引人注目的特性:它是個無知覺的假人」。
米勒先生指著坐在巡邏車上,穿著藍色制服,配戴警用裝備道具,裝扮成為員警的CPR假人表示:「它並不需要花我們什麼經費」。
在這個距奧克拉荷馬市約80英里擁有17,000人口的城市,資金緊縮的艾達市警察局長期以來派遣真正的員警在城市街道上站崗,但是卻很少有從事誘捕取締任務的員警取代得了塑膠波波的名人地位。
一些艾達市第一次看到僵硬員警的民眾發現這位員警,總是緊閉著眼睛,半張著嘴巴,他們擔心它是一個有毛病的真人員警。蒂娜表示:「在這個小鎮裡,從職業遛狗者到義消大家人人都彼此認識,因此有人開始詢問該名員警到底是何方神聖。」
警察局在城裡移動波波,在學校附近的一個公園停放一天。市民表示波波是有效的,因為它們看到駕駛有放慢行車速度。
當它被披露其實只是一個假人替身時,蒂娜表示:「這幾乎就像艾達市警察局在開大家玩笑。」
然後波波開始獲得社群媒體的熱議。今年春天蒂娜在Facebook為它創辦粉絲網頁後,居民開始張貼和波波的自拍照,建立一個為它創辦的社交圈。
有位民眾在五月時寫道:「有人看見它在教會無聲的祈禱。」
另一個人將巧克力甜甜圈放在波波擋風玻璃上的照片貼上Facebook並寫道:「它在我家附近來回巡視了好幾天,所以我只好乖乖的做個好市民。」
假人員警波波今年5月在攔住一個疑似酒後醉車的駕駛之後人氣突然增長,該車撞上假人波波的警車,波波遭受鈍器挫傷。雖然波波沒事存活下來了,但員警卻必須逮捕該名駕駛。
「我看到塑膠波波坐在車上,我想她一定有看到車子,」葛列格裡卡特回憶,艾達市的卡車司機看了交通事故影片以慢動作重播。「我的第一想法是,真是的,她撞上塑膠波波了。」
居民很快就發送信件給在警察局的波波祝它早日康復。謠言甚至流傳,它在事故中失去了雙腿。事實上,早先員警早已移除了它的配件以及槍帶,以便讓它更容易操作。
「如果你被派遣拖它的員警,你會覺得很累,「艾達市警長坎貝爾解釋,表示當移動波波時它的頭往往會掉了,處理波波可能讓某些員警覺得尷尬。
事故發生後,在尋找替代的巡邏警車時,警察局將波波改調內勤服務,以便市民在波波康復期間能夠安心,艾達市的法院職員卡羅在Facebook上張貼在市政大廳各處包紮波波的照片。
Crew女士在625日寫道:「感謝大家的關心,」,「它已改調輕鬆的閒缺。」在上個月底,波波康復之後又返回了外勤巡邏的工作崗位。
三一浸信會教堂的牧師富勒表示,許多的教友都在談論波波,他在最近的一個星期天的佈道中解釋服從權威的重要性。
「聖經教導我們生活在人的權威和政府之下,」福勒先生表示。「我們服從員警的權威,甚至對波波這名假人員警也尊重其權威。」
在本月一個炙熱的下午,波波在巡邏車上監控自停車場到州公路的繁忙交通,該處經民眾檢舉有許多超速。
停車場的冰販正在出售藍白色花生口味的塑膠波波雪花冰,表示:「它應該有自己的雪花冰」。
她提供免費的雪花冰給員警和急救人員,因為「我不想讓人難過。」她表示,「波波惡名昭彰。」
在當地一家幼稚園工作的塔比瑟表示:「每當我看到它時還是會踩刹車。」她表示。「我總是認為,你永遠不知道巡邏車裡面是真人波波還是塑膠波波。」
為了保持驚喜,艾達市警方偶爾會讓波波穿戴假髮或太陽眼鏡,然後與另一位穿戴著同樣偽裝的真人員警交換。米勒先生表示,真人員警有時會逮到超速,但有波波在場時駕駛往往不會超速。
局長米勒先生表示它不打算給波波升官,但居民表示,假人員警已經證明其犯罪的震懾能力甚至超過交通違規的嚇阻力。
有次當黛布拉貝利醫師走出辦公室,「不小心」順手拿走休息室的一本雜誌時第一次與波波交手。

「我正在開我的車門,突然間我發現有位員警在那邊看我。」,她表示。「我突然覺得很緊張,因為我偷了一本雜誌!」,後來她大鬆一口氣,發現那只是假人波波。「它是你喜歡看到的人。」她表示。「你會很高興發現,它其實只是塑膠做的。」











英國 CKP (Certificate in Knowledge of Policing) 警政知識專業證照

翻譯:李孟澤 Raymond Lee  2014/08/29

 譯者按:有鑑於近來有人主張廢除警大、警專之警察學術功能,特翻譯本文供各界了解外國警察教育體制。本文係全文翻譯,純供參考,不代表譯者任何立場。
警政知識專業證照(CKP)是獲得警察專業文憑的前提要件。警察專業文憑是國家規定所有新從事警察工作者所必須取得的資格證件。
CKP給予候選人申請從事警察工作的正式資格證明,並給予未來警察專業訓練之機會。假若您透過警政學院獲得CKP證照,您可以提交CKP證照做為取得警察初等學習和發展計畫(IPLDP)之警察專業文憑相關佐證資料。
所有授權頒發警察專業文憑之機構均承認CKP專業證照以作為獲得警察專業文憑之前提要件。
CKP證照之功能為何?
CKP 警察證照乃一種模組化的資格,由資格和信用框架下第3級的10個單元所構成。規定大約300小時的學習,其中約100小時是指導學習,其餘為個人學習。
CKP透過包括測驗、開卷作業和閉卷作業等混合方式評估。有多種教授方式可供選擇,包括全職、兼職、夜間,或僅在週末上課,和進行線上學習。


CKP課程能學習到什麼?

取得CKP 警察證照證明您已了解治安和警察法,並讓您能夠展示一些工作所需的關鍵決策能力,涵蓋了廣泛的主題,包括:
公平、公正使用警察武力。
社會和社區問題以及社區治安。
處理報案,並提供受害者和證人的初步支持。
在治安範疇內搜索場所和個人。
參加治安維護勤務計畫。
訪問證人和嫌犯 。

被害者支援 。

刑事司法系統。
立法、政策和指導方針。
CKP可以保證讓我成為一名警察嗎?
取得CKP證照有助於您準備申請英格蘭或威爾斯警員招募。但成功取得CKP 警察證照並不能保證您一定能夠成功應徵見習警員職務。然而,證照可證明您致力於警察工作的決心與專業知識,對於想從事刑事司法其他領域的工作亦有所幫助。
英格蘭和威爾斯每一個警察機關均各自規定招募程序與政策,不同機關其招募最低標準亦可能有所不同。大都會警察局是第一個要求初任警察者必須取得CKP證照方可申請的警察機關,其他警察機關現亦紛紛起而效法。(請注意,大都會警察局的CKP證照要求並不適用於已經在大都會警察局工作的特殊警察人員,其他警察機關規定可能不同。)
檢查您的資格,並決定是否參加CKP證照課程或您想申請成為警員的話,請點選預先申請問卷 pre-application questionnaire
請注意,所有申請者均須通過體檢和體能測試,以及身份背景與安全審查,並須在警察搜尋評估中心進行一系列的評估、測試和面試。
 
我可以在何處報名參加CKP課程?
您可以申請參加全國各地的CKP教育中心訓練。警政學院訂有認證許可教育訓練供應機構計畫,以確保採用的所有教育訓練供應機構都是經認證許可且提供嚴格教學品質與評估。請造訪聯繫本學院認證許可的預先訓練機構名單  Pre-Join Approved Providers list,以了解各該機構訓練過程是否合適、有效以及所需費用大概多少。


警政學院可以推薦應參加何種課程嗎?

本學院不個別推薦任何課程,但本學院強烈建議不要選擇不在認證許可名單上的教育訓練供應機構。


選擇的教育訓練供應機構不在認可的教育訓練供應機構名單上是什麼意思?

只有業經本學院認證審核小組審核認證通過,符合本學院規定標準的教育訓練供應機構才會列入認可名單中。認證通過後本學院會在24小時內將詳細資料加入名單中,因此您可確信,若某教育訓練供應機構不在名單上,便表示該機構並未獲得認證許可。
通過認證申請取決於許多因素,因此本學院無法個別評論申請認證的教育訓練供應機構何時以及是否能夠通過認證申請。
申請CKP資格認證需要多少費用?
申請CKP認證費用可能因個別教育訓練機構而異,但一般來說每人約需花費500-1000英鎊。個別教育訓練供應機構在某些情況下可能會補助訓練費用,請聯絡個別教育訓練供應機構了解是否可以補助訓練費用。


CKP認證線上參考資料

許多認證核准的教育訓練供應機構提供學生在國家應用學習技術中心( NCALT )網站線上取得CKP認證相關資料,期限為三年。
我們強烈建議您利用這個寶貴資源,在您取得證書後繼續進修以保持您專業知識上的優勢。
國家應用學習技術中心( NCALT )是警政學院和大都會警察局合作的網站,製作並提供在英格蘭和威爾斯等當地和英國其他機關警察人員之數位學習。透過管理學習環境(MLE)資訊系統提供警察人員知識學習。想了解更多信息,歡迎造訪我們的數位學習網頁或到NCALT網站查看數位學習範例。

改進警察教育制度之我見

作者:李孟澤 Raymond Lee

最近在網路上有人主張轉型警大、警專成為單純的警察訓練機構。此種論點對於提升警察學術與專業素養毫無幫助。台灣警察學術的重鎮在警大,員警基礎訓練在警專,警大與警專長期以來對於提升警察專業知識上貢獻良多,絕不可輕言廢校!  讓警大警專變成類似文官培訓所只會讓警察學術倒退!
參考美國密蘇里等國外警察證照考試制度,警校受訓只是取得參加考試的資格,並且絕無不用參加訓練就可以先考警察資格考的,主張廢除警大、警專的人其主張有待商榷。
警察代表國家在街頭執法,逮捕罪犯,所需之專業知識與技能高於一般文官,並非如同一般文官考個公務員考試再到文官培訓所短期訓練可應付。其所需之知識與技術大多是在警校、警大中訓練的,不是靠補習班K出來的。
在美國想當警察必須先通過一般性非專業的初等警校入學考試,受訓結束後考過證照才能向警察局提出求職申請。台灣警察剛好相反,先考特考,決定你可以當警察,再進去受訓,受訓之後就不用考資格考,這是不合理的制度。
台灣無警察學歷之一般生遴選大多是自修或至補習班補習,補習教育是台灣的特色,雖然可以造就一些考試高手,但考試高手不代表就具備警察執勤的應有學術科知識與技能。
補習班並無法教授射擊、柔道、跆拳、逮捕術、筆錄製作、刑案調查、交通稽查技巧等警察實務工作應具備的知識與技能,亦無法提升警察學術水平。廢除警大、警專做為學術研究之教育機構功能只會讓台灣警界學術更加落後。

沒先至警大、警專受訓怎能考警察資格考? 已經先考完資格考還需要到警大、警專去受訓嗎?  我個人認為警察特考應該擺在最後,通過初等警校入學考試之後經過兩年或四年之專業警察學術、實務訓練之後才能報考警察特考,讓學術歸於學術,此種作法與目前廢除一般人可以參加中醫特考的做法目的是相同的。此種作法才符合世界潮流,也才是解決警察教育體制混亂的解決之道。

美國密蘇里州警察證照考試流程說明

密蘇里州警察證照考試流程說明

翻譯:李孟澤


 美國密蘇里州警察執勤必須取得證照,其考照涵蓋警察執法實務面、學術科都要考,範圍廣泛,並非台灣「警察特考」所能比。

台灣警察一般生考上警察特考之後,在警專警大只要能畢得了業,就可當警察,不用再考,美國密蘇里則是進去容易出來難,想取得證照在警校、警察訓練中心還要打拼才考得上。

但應注意美國每個警察局都是獨立的,因此招募政策也都是各行其是。



要成為一名合格的密蘇里州警察,必須符合下列資格:
1.美國公民
2.年滿21
3.具有高中畢業文憑或同等學歷
4.無犯罪記錄
5.自州執法基礎訓練中心畢業。

2.試題均為是非或選擇題。
3.考試共有200個問題。
4.考試無時間限制。

考試不及格者可以在接獲不及格通知之日起三十天內申請重考POST或其他代替性題目。如果第二次考試仍不及格,必須在接獲通知後三十天內請求安排第三次考試。如果第三次考試仍不及格,或未能在三十天內重新請求安排參加考試,除非有完成480小時或更多的基本訓練課程時數,否則必須自上一次考試日期起再等待一年才能重新參加考試。
