Protect and Serve

Hes got a gun! A call goes out to

The witness describes the culprit who fled. The

dispatchers radio the police officers on duty. The

officers turn on their sirens and rush to the scene.

Half a dozen police cars pull up from all directions

and screech to a halt. Help has arrived.

Police officers are trained to deal with

criminals. And thats only one part of their job.

Police officers protect and serve the community.

They must be ready to respond to anything. They

put their lives on the line to protect others. Its a

dangerous job. But someone has to do it.

British police

controlling crowds

In what ways does a police

officer protect and serve the

community?

What

kind of training does it

take to be a police officer?

What motivates someone to

become a police officer?

The First Police

Today, a police force of some kind exists in

nearly every country. The profession has existed

for thousands of years. In ancient China, prefects

reported crimes to a judge. In ancient Greece,

slaves guarded important meetings and dealt with

criminals. In Spain, people banded

together to protect themselves from

criminals. These peacekeepers

were called the Hermandad ,

which means brotherhood. In the

1660s, law enforcement became

paid work instead of just a social

duty. In 1666, France created

a unified police force led by the

government. Many countries

followed Frances example.

Arresting Origins

The word police comes

from the ancient

Greek word polissoos ,

which means a person

guarding a city.

French police officer

from the 1600s

Historians note 1730 as the year the word

police

was

first used. It was in Scotland, and the word meant

people who enforced the law.

Learning the Ropes

Many people want to become police officers.

But not all of them can handle the training.

Others will fail the final test. In most places,

people need to be over years old to take

the entrance exam for the academy . The test

isnt easy. Depending on the size of the force,

more than 3,000 applicants might take the test

at one time. When someone passes the test, a

background check is run. A history with gangs

or even a simple traffic ticket can disqualify

someone. Of the thousands who might take the

test, very few will be invited to the academy.

Starting Early

Some police departments take on

young cadets . Cadets can perform

office work and take classes before

they become old enough to apply

for a regular police job.

The Good Citizen Award

Do you want to become a police officer?

You need to stay out of trouble, follow

the law, and be a good citizen, too.

Police officers need to be good citizens.

They need to have a clean record when

applying for the police academy. The
