Police Militarization: Understanding the Perspectives of Police Chiefs, Administrators, and Tactical Officers: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Police Militarization: Understanding the Perspectives of Police Chiefs, Administrators, and Tactical Officers" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The increased militarization of the police in the United States has been a topic of controversy for decades, brought to the public eye in notable events such as the Los Angeles Police Departments use of battering rams in the 1980s and the siege of the Weaver family at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in the 1990s, among others. The issue of police militarism has been back at the forefront of criminal justice policy discussions in the wake of the militaristic police response to the protests that took place after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. This book examines the issue of militarization in a post-Ferguson environment from the perspective of those inside policing.
Drawing from a variety of dataincluding historical analysis of newspaper articles to examine the use of firearms in policing; original data from police respondents attending the Federal Bureau of Investigations National Academy in Quantico, Virginia; interviews with police chiefs and tactical officers regarding their direct experiences; and a sample of National Academy attendees reporting on the deployment of patrol rifles in policingthis work provides a nuanced look at police militarization that will inform future conceptual discussions and empirical research into the phenomenon. Considerations identified for police policy-makers include politics, media, leadership, and marketing. These themes are explored in detail, suggesting multiple dimensions, both theoretical and empirical, to better understand policing and policy, making this book an excellent resource for students, scholars, and professionals in law enforcement, political science, and public administration.

Routledge Innovations in Policing
Edited by Ellen Boyne
This series explores innovations in the field of policing and offers the latest insight into the field through research, theoretical applications, case studies, and evaluations. Famous innovations developed over the course of the late twentieth century and into the turn of the twenty-first include approaches such as community policing, broken windows policing, problem-oriented policing, pulling levers policing, third-party policing, hot spots policing, CompStat, and evidence-based policing. Some of these approaches have been successful, and some have not, while new innovations continue to arise. Improving police performance through innovation is often not straightforward. Police departments are highly resistant to change, but through such research we expect to find further refinement of our knowledge of what works in policing, under what circumstances particular strategies may work, and why these strategies are effective in improving police performance.

Preface
The police role in a democratic society is to overcome resistance. This may seem an oversimplification of the assigned character of the police, but for the most part, it is accurate. In conversations or writings on the police role in society there has been difficulty clarifying the primary role of the police. Most other organizations, whether private or government bodies, have fairly clear goals. For private companies the intended goal is relatively easy to recognize: to make a profit and ensure continued success. The primary goal of governmental agencies are also, for the most part, readily identifiable. For example, a transportation department seeks to ensure that people can efficiently move from one place to another, whether they are driving or taking public transportation. A parks department cares for public green spaces by cutting the grass, maintaining equipment, and emptying trash containers. But identifying the unique goal of the police has been elusive. It has been suggested that the police role is to serve and protect, enforce the law, or fight crime. Clearly each of these goals are different. When the broad tasks of individual street-level police officers are examined, their primary role is to overcome resistance.
