THE POLICE PATROL CAR WILLIAM DONALD PIERCY The author is a graduate of the School of Criminology of the University of California and is now enrolled as a law student at Hastings College of Law. Prior to his enroll- ment in the University of California, Mr. Piercy served two tours of duty with the United States Air Force. His article was prepared as a special project during his senior year in the School of Criminology and presents an interesting and valuable analysis of the police patrol car.-EDrroR The duties of the motorized patrolman, like the foot patrolman, are multifarious. They range from the pursuit and apprehension of criminals to the rendering of first- aid to the injured. To achieve maximum effectiveness, the car used by the motor patrolman must facilitate each of his many activities. Perfect suitability to every task may not be possible, but carefully made compromises will ensure that the patrolman's vehicle is an asset to him in every situation.

  • Police Body-Mounted Cameras: with Right Policies in Place, a Win for All
    Police Body-Mounted Cameras: With Right Policies in Place, a Win For All By Jay Stanley, ACLU Senior Policy Analyst October, 2013 Introduction1 When a New York judge found that the NYPD’s stop and frisk tactics violated the constitutional rights of New Yorkers, one of the remedies she ordered was for the department to begin testing wearable police cameras, sparking debate and discussion of the technology there. These “on-officer recording systems” (also called “body cams” or “cop cams”) are small, pager- sized cameras that clip on to an officer’s uniform or sunglasses or are worn as a headset, and record audio and video of the officer’s interactions with the public. We have heard reports of police body cameras being deployed in numerous cities, and one prominent manufacturer told NBC that it had sold them to “hundreds of departments.” The ACLU has commented on police body cameras in the media several times over the years (and in stories surrounding the stop and frisk ruling), but the ACLU’s views on this technology are a little more complicated than can be conveyed through quotes in a news story. Although we generally take a dim view of the proliferation of surveillance cameras in American life, police on-body cameras are different because of their potential to serve as a check against the abuse of power by police officers. Historically, there was no documentary evidence of most encounters between police officers and the public, and due to the volatile nature of those encounters, this often resulted in radically divergent accounts of incidents.

  • Support for Crime Victims by the Police
    Specific measures to support crime victims ① Consideration and provision of information for crime victims during the consultation and investigation process Creation and distribution of crime victim guide The victims are unfamiliar with the details of support that they can receive to recover and mitigate the damage caused by the crime and criminal proceedings, and such information needs to be provided quickly and comprehensively. Therefore, prefectural police has created “Brochure for Crime Victims” which describe the overview of criminal proceedings, request for cooperation in investigation, and systems and support organizations/desks available for crime victims. “Brochure for Crime Victims” is usually distributed to victims of physical crimes such as murder, injury, and sexual crimes, as well as victims of major traffic accidents such as hit-and-runs and accidents resulting in death, by investigators in charge of questioning, who will explain the contents then. “Brochure for Crime Victims” contain the following information: Overview of criminal proceedings and request for cooperation in investigation Support personnel system for crime victims Systems related to information on criminal proceedings and status of investigation Systems available for trials Systems for securing safety Financial support and various support and welfare systems Support for psychological trauma Various consulting organizations/desks In addition, the guides provided to traffic accident victims and surviving family members include: Information on automobile insurance systems (automobile liability insurance, etc.) and automobile compensation security programs The guides are also translated into English and other languages for foreign crime victims by each prefectural police as necessary. Brochure for Crime Victims For traffic accidents/crimes Guides in foreign languages System for contacting crime victims Information related to the status of investigation and the disposition of perpetrators is very important to the victim.

  • Police Body Worn Cameras and Privacy: Retaining Benefits While Reducing Public Concerns
    POLICE BODY WORN CAMERAS AND PRIVACY: RETAINING BENEFITS WHILE REDUCING PUBLIC CONCERNS RICHARD LIN† ABSTRACT Recent high-profile incidents of police misconduct have led to calls for increased police accountability. One proposed reform is to equip police officers with body worn cameras, which provide more reliable evidence than eyewitness accounts. However, such cameras may pose privacy concerns for individuals who are recorded, as the footage may fall under open records statutes that would require the footage to be released upon request. Furthermore, storage of video data is costly, and redaction of video for release is time-consuming. While exempting all body camera video from release would take care of privacy issues, it would also prevent the public from using body camera footage to uncover misconduct. Agencies and lawmakers can address privacy problems successfully by using data management techniques to identify and preserve critical video evidence, and allowing non-critical video to be deleted under data-retention policies. Furthermore, software redaction may be used to produce releasable video that does not threaten the privacy of recorded individuals.

    PEOPO is the official mascot of the TMPD. His design was inspired by the concept of "TMPD that the public can relate to and trust in." He is the embodiment of the TMPD officers' hopes for the happiness and well-being of the public. PEOPO's features are evocative of cute animals. His antenna detects changes in society quickly; his big eyes watch society carefully; and his big ears listen to citizens closely. The name PEOPO is derived from "PEOple" and "POlice."
