LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATION

A law enforcement organization is an organization of parties, either individuals or other organizations or both, associated with law enforcement, typically with some common interest.

Law enforcement organization is broad term, and while it includes law enforcement agencies, when used typically, is meant to specifically include organizations other than law enforcement agencies.

A law enforcement agency has powers, while other law enforcement organizations do not.

Law enforcement organizations other than law enforcement agencies may be:

associations of personnel of law enforcement agencies at certain levels within their organizations

law enforcement agency employee unions associations of law enforcement specialists, for example, forensic specialists, weapons

and tactical specialists, evidence management and handling practitioners, specialist investigators such as fraud investigators or arson investigators

community groups such as neighborhood watch groups

Court

Court is a body, often a governmental institution, with the authority to adjudicate legal disputes and dispense civil, criminal, or administrative justice in accordance with rules of law. [1] In common law and civil law jurisdiction, courts are the central means for dispute resolution, and it is generally understood that all persons have an ability to bring their claims before a court. Similarly, those accused of a crime have the right to present their defense before a court.

Court facilities range from a simple farmhouse for a village court in a rural community to huge buildings housing dozens of courtrooms in large cities.

Community

Community is a group of interacting organisms sharing an environment. In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks, and a number of other conditions may be present and common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.

In sociology, the concept of community has led to significant debate, and sociologists are yet to reach agreement on a definition of the term. There were ninety-four discrete definitions of the term by the mid-1950s.[1] Traditionally a "community" has been defined as a group of interacting people living in a common location. The word is often used to refer to a group that is organized around common values and social cohesion within a shared geographical location,

generally in social units larger than a household. The word can also refer to the national community or global community.

Prosecution

Prosecution is a common law intentional tort, while like the tort of abuse of process, its elements include (1) intentionally (and maliciously) instituting and pursuing (or causing to be instituted or pursued) a legal action (civil or criminal) that is (2) brought without probable cause and (3) dismissed in favor of the victim of the malicious prosecution. In some jurisdictions, the term "malicious prosecution" denotes the wrongful initiation of criminal proceedings, while the term "malicious use of process" denotes the wrongful initiation of civil proceedings.

Strengths are it lets a human make a decision. For example - If I stop you running a red light while your on the way to the Maternity Ward to drop a baby, without discretion - You would have to cross your legs while I write out the ticket. With discretion -

Weaknesses are they take one look at a situation and make their final decision and if they are wrong, oh well, they still have the power to ruin a life.

Job and career opportunities in policing are many and varied. The early years of American policing were typified by political appointment of officers and frequent turnover in departmental personnel (Fogelson).

Threat assessment, which need not be “formal,” should consider the typology of the stalker and the history or nature of the relationship between the suspect and the victim (for example, it should consider all acts of violence, including threats, damage to property and harm to the victim’s pet).
