    The important concerns of this case are highlighted by Detective Casey’s department failing him when he did nothing wrong. The fact that after the shooting Detective Casey received minimal contact arguably when he needed it most in sense of validation is unacceptable. To have his worker’s compensation claim denied is also extremely concerning. Corruption is a word that is fair for this situation. The fact that the compensation attorney intentionally had given Detective Casey the wrong information regarding the timeline he had to make a decision of whether he would return to the force or not is extremely concerning.…

    The movie Training Day starring Denzel Washington,proved to show many interesting outlooks of managing activities and skills that I have never even came close to noticing before. Alonzo Harris played by Denzel in the movie expressed many forms of management throughout this movie. He displayed different basic management functions, fundamental management skills, parts of the evolution of management, and also some other key management terms. Jake Hoyt, who Alonzo is supposed to give in an evaluation on, also shows many different forms of management throughout this movie. The first thing I noticed during this movie was the basic management functions that Alonzo was planning throughout the whole movie to achieve a certain goal.…

    "Serpico" Ethical Issues

    This film really grabbed my interest by depicting real life situations and corruption in today’s police forces. Frank Serpico was an honest cop who just wanted to do his job with no questions; to protect and to serve. Officers of the NYPD were accepting bribes from criminals and possibly selling drugs to make extra money. Police corruption is abuse of public office for personal benefits. If police are corrupt, then they are not protecting or serving the public as necessary. Officers allow these sorts of violence and drug behavior to continue just so they can earn an extra dollar or two.…

    This movie brought about a sobering reality of both families who have been affected by drugs, and the offenders behind bars for drug offenses. Yet I was somewhat disturbed by the small-town marshal in Magdalena New Mexico, Larry Curly who seemed to have a troublesome viewpoint towards police profiling. He called it “fishing” and blatantly admitted he was illegally profiling possible suspects who may be involved in drug trafficking. He denoted that all cops are phony and that they certainly profile individuals by their car and physicality. Yet he also stated that he tries to portray himself as a hero with “his white and and piece of silver.” I feel like this cop is a disgrace to the Criminal Justice system, for he contradicts himself. Yet it's important to mention he had one thing right by admitting how in-genuine him and other officers…

    Law Enforcement Deviance

    Never before, had the city of Los Angeles been involved in a scandal like the one it faced within the department’s Rampart Area. Allegations of perjury, false arrest reports, evidence planting, police brutality, and even murder plagued the department. What started out as an attempt to stop the growing number of “gang related” crimes in the Rampart Area of Los Angeles, had turned into one of the worst scandals to disgrace the city and permanently tarnish the department’s reputation yet. Perhaps, the worst misconduct came from the Department’s managers who ignored warning signs and failed to provide leadership, oversight, management, and supervision to the unit (Rampart Review, 2000). The repercussions of this deviance by the LAPD will be felt for many years as the public struggles to regain trust and the department struggles to regain creditability.…
