The endless amount of bad driving habits lead to the severely high rates of car accidents every year. Nearly all causes of car accidents are while somone is breaking the law in some way or another. These driving laws are in place for a reason and there are almost always consequences for breaking them. Usually people have to pay high court fines or even serve jail time for breaking them. The majority of people continue to ignore them and are most likely going to end up in some sort of car accident for their bad judgement. Some of the worst driving habits include speeding, driving while tired, and texting; most of these lead to car accidents with fatalities.…
In 1991, the U. S., automobile accidents were responsible for about 49.4 percent of all accidental deaths. That is not all from speeding, but it would be higher without speed limits. Motorists who exceed speed limits swerve in and out of lanes, which cause them to lose control of their vehicle. When seeing these cars on the news, speeding and getting into car accidents, you see the picture of the car and it is smashed. It leaves a fatal memory.…
There have been major accidents throughout the United States that have produced over 100,000 crashes and roughly 1,000 deaths in the past. In 1979 Ken Fishel was at the intersection of 436 and highway 50 when a woman ran a red light causing him to T-Bone the passenger side of her vehicle. Ken ended up with serious injuries consisting of whip lash and a mild concussion to the head. While the women escaped the accident with minor injuries this could been easily prevented (interview). To combat this problem the United States has placed Red light cameras at certain intersections across the states. Safety should always be the top priority on the road, and one way of limiting car accidents is for everyone to make sure they always stop at a red light. Since these cameras have been in place accidents and death tolls have decreased tremendously. The government should continue the use of red light cameras at intersections throughout the United States.…

Enforcing the current laws would be a great start for our society. Unfortunately, they don’t enforce them and when they do they usually avoid people who are the real problem.…
Community policing ideology is to bring communities and law enforcement closer together. The very idea to bring the protectors of a community to the citizens in order to build trust, and assist both law enforcement and communities in reducing crime, and was developed in the early 1980s. As time goes by, the idea of community policing did not flourish in all cities as first hoped. Community policing brought along the administration problems of what is known as mid-management adversity. The operational aspect of community policing primary mission is to prevent crime, involve the community in investigating…
In 2007 it was recorded that each year 751 people die in crashes due to someone running a red light, which comes to 63 people each month. Not only the shockingly high number of deaths due to running a red light, the financial cost of red-light running crashes was $378 million. But due to the increase of red light cameras in 2011, there was 201 fewer red-light running…
Many of today’s accidents occur because people tend to act ignorant, and do things they are not suppose to do while driving. Driving is a special privilege and skill, which includes paying attention to detail at all times, for the sake of your life and others. Most car accidents, with and without injuries are because people exceed the speed limit, using cell phones, and lack of attention. It is very sad that millions of innocent people lose their lives every year because of ignorance.…
The importance with this type of policing is on preventing crime before it occurs, not reacting to concerns when the offense happens. Community policing offers a type of control over how their neighborhood is ran. Community policing recommends that police become a bigger part of the areas they patrol. This aids police to gain a stronger sense of resident 's wants and helps residents to improve bigger trust within the police. Together, the community and local department work along to attain a standard goal of a safer, higher place to measure. When both sides come together then the crime rate will in fact drop considerably. There are always ways that this program will not succeed but if the foundation remains strong then there is no way that this will fail. With all programs there is a process and with this one there are two in…
Of all these crashes, over 3,331 people lost their lives with another 387,000 injured. These people who either killed or injured were mainly the drivers of the vehicles. In these crashes, 385 died and five percent of the injured were hurt because someone was on a cell phone. Cell phones account for twelve percent of deadly crashes with teenagers the most likely to cause them (Distracted Driving 2011). Talking on the phone is like drinking and…
Criticism and speculation concerning police brutality are popular topics that can inevitably be seen in news articles, social media, or news broadcast throughout the nation. Being one of America's most current controversial and important issues, the negative perception of police brutality in the 21st century needs to be resolved. Localized policing is commonly used to put emphasis on the prevention of crime rather than enforcing the zero tolerance policy and following the traditional policing method. Policing in communites allow law enforcement officials a chance to better connect with citizens on a more personal level by building a durable relationship, reinforcing trust, and ensuring a peace of mind that suits current local and world…
The success of the police depends not only on the development of their own skills and capabilities, but also on the creation of competent communities. Community policing acknowledges that police cannot succeed in achieving their basic goals without both the operational assistance and political support of the community. Conversely, the community cannot succeed in constructing decent, open, and orderly communities without a professional and responsive police force” (Meese,…
With my new achievement of Chief of police within the Monterey Police Department, it is my goal to provide this city with the best policing style that I believe will be the most beneficial regarding the everlasting fight on crime here in our city. In order to provide the people of Monterey with the best results of our policing style, it is most important to diagnose the reoccurring problems that have effects on the city and community as a whole such as the shocking homicide rates. As the Chief of Police, it is my duty to understand the three different styles of policing introduced by James Q. Wilson, which include the Watchman Style, the Legalistic Style and the Service Style, and to make my decision on which style I wish to pursue for the Police Department of Monterey, which will ultimately result in the service style.…
Another solution would be for governmental officials to put into place some sort of law that would have other law enforcement to work with trying to help other law enforcement with having some issues with doing so and come together as a team as they…
