The media is considered to be the most effective way of holding the police
accountable to the community that they serve. The police also view the use of
media as an effective way to keep the public informed about the issues that
affect them and about crime in general. In this module you were introduced to
the media and policing. Discuss section 205 subpoena and the media, the
police provision relating to section 205 orders and the persons designated to
communicate with the media.
Title: The Media and Policing: A Complex Relationship of Accountability and
Communication
Introduction:
The relationship between the media and law enforcement agencies has been a
subject of both cooperation and contention. On one hand, the media is considered
an essential tool for holding the police accountable to the communities they serve.
On the other hand, the police view the use of media as an effective means of
keeping the public informed about issues that affect them and crime in general.
This essay delves into the dynamic between the media and policing, exploring the
concept of accountability through Section 205 subpoenas, police provisions, and
designated communication officers.
I. The Media's Role in Police Accountability:
The media plays a vital role in ensuring police accountability to the public.
Through investigative journalism and reporting, the media can shed light on
instances of police misconduct, abuse of power, and systemic problems within law
enforcement agencies. By providing unbiased and factual information to the
public, the media can hold police accountable for their actions, thereby fostering
transparency and trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
