Discuss internal and external police problems and the role of the community
in solving police problems. Outline the phases of the community work process
model of problem solving. Provide practical examples where possible.
Internal and External Police Problems:
1. Internal Police Problems:
Internal police problems refer to issues that arise within the police organization
itself. These problems can significantly affect the department's functioning,
integrity, and public trust. Some common internal police problems include:
a. Corruption and Misconduct: Instances of police officers engaging in corrupt
practices, such as accepting bribes or using excessive force, undermine public
confidence in law enforcement.
b. Lack of Accountability: When there is a lack of accountability within the police
force, officers may not be held responsible for their actions, leading to abuses of
power.
c. Inadequate Training: Insufficient training can result in officers lacking the
necessary skills to handle complex situations effectively and can lead to mistakes
or inappropriate responses.
d. Poor Leadership: Ineffective leadership can contribute to a toxic work
environment, low morale, and hinder the department's ability to address issues
appropriately.
2. External Police Problems:
