Analysis and Synthesis

The article (Law and Order magazine, April 2015) has made substantial conclusions with regard the various issues covered in it. The article has emphasized the importance of professionalism, teamwork, policing tools and better tools and equipment in the police department. The Issue claims that in cases of collision, the police offers are bound to show some professionalism in handling the matter. On the same scenario, the availability of better tools and equipment to the patrol officers is a key step in their execution of duties. I feel that the presumed availability of the above five requirements will perfect the duties and responsibilities of the police officers who engage in patrols…………..CITE

The magazine further evaluates the significance of providing seamless interoperability between the cellular push-to-talk and the land mobile radio networks. This would further lead to increased integration of radios with all protocols and frequencies. The Mutualinkradio network interface controller causes the integration of the devices. The incorporation of various the cellular services would prompt more communication in the police force and hence the ability to uphold timeliness and punctuality in cases of patrol. The April 2015 Issue has focussed on the importance of managing risk and the adoption of a sound safety model to avert cases of collisions and other criminal activities. Through such engagements, the existing trust between the police offers and the members of the public.The development of outward mindset is upheld between the police officers and their leaders. The article emphasizes the significance of in-service testing for both the police recruits and incumbents in the force. The employability requirements and shunning of age discrimination through various court decisions are uplifted in the article.The various court decisions have created clarifications and directions on employability and in-service training. The new trends in the usage of portable radios forcommunication are emphasized in the article. The use of radios that can access both analog and digital FM frequencies from Harris Corporation is one of the fundamental steps in promoting communication in the police force. Other notable companies that have come up with new radio devices are EF Johnston technologists, Motorola technologists, and Kenwood among others. The adoption of these strategies in the police force ought to be upheld in order to realize the ultimate goal of policing. I feel that the provision of better communication devices (radios), tools and equipment and teamwork should be upheld in order to overcome the various forensic attributes and diplomatically uphold criminal justice.

Implications

The adoption of better communication devices would enhance the practices of criminal investigation, forensic radiology, and audio enhancement. Emphases on teamwork in the police force are key their execution of duties. Better communication, better tools and equipment, risk management practices are vital components in curbing various forensic cases and subsequently ensure that criminal justice is upheld.
