Risks are a part of everyday living and each and every job no matter how big or small the organization or company. As petty as it sounds, when waking up in the morning there is a risk of tripping on a shoe or a pair of pants that were taken off the night before. When cooking breakfast there is a risk of burning the bacon, or forgetting to set the alarm before exiting the house.

Police officers and fire fighters, for example have their own personal safety compromised on multiple occasions. This is why before becoming a part of a justice organization officers must go through rigorous training and exercises to ensure they are properly prepared in any situation they may encounter while protection themselves as well as the American people. Borum, Fein, Vossekuil, & Berglund (1999) discussed how police officials, workplace supervisors, school principals, and others who are approached with information about an instance of potential targeted violence must increasingly take action to gather information about the risk of violence and then attempt to resolve any problematic situation. If a police officer fails to properly manage that risk, the police officer may lose his or her life, harm an innocent person, or even put multiple people at risk in a single moment. Anytime failed risk management occurs an extensive report is performed that identifies what protocols were followed properly, what protocols were not, and what protocols may need to be improved. Similar to what risks occurred, was the plan of action followed and how can the losses be mitigated in this situation. As society changes, justice organizations also need to change with society. Security also needs to change with advancing technology security and technology both need to effectively plan risk management programs and apply it to each organization. Without risk management, protocols, safety instructions, rules, laws and regulations the world would not be able to properly function. The
