    Social media is new tool for law enforcement that has proven instrumental in community oriented policing. As times and technology advance, police need to keep up to maintain the edge against criminals. The internet, social media in particular, is a relatively new occurrence, and how to most effectively utilize it as a crime fighting tool has probably not even been realized yet. Criminals are not known to be the brightest bunch, and there are new stories every day of some knucklehead posting incriminating evidence online and getting arrested for it. If information is made public via social media, then there is no expectation of privacy and it can be used against you. Social media is allowing law enforcement to connect with their communities in new and exciting ways, giving officers a face and bringing them closer to the community.…

In Singapore, their policeman work hard to protect the country and civilians. In American, policeman salary is a big amount of dollars. Because of that, there are a lot of people wanted to be a policeman. But in Malaysia, policeman salary is too low and because of that, policemen do not work hard to protect the country and people. There is another reason, the reason is their behavior. Most of the policemen are lazy to do their work. This is because they need to repeat the same duty every day. But that is not the reason, some of them, they use the power to do bad thing. For example, spot-check on girls by male policeman. They take opportunity to do their pervert stuff on them. “Motorcycles are meant to ferry only two people. Although the law is silent, police do not fancy arresting riders who break the law by placing a young rider in the front basket of the motorcycle.” (Yap…
