Box 32159 Newark, New Jersey 07102 Re: Newark Monitorship Proposal and Response Dear : On behalf of my monitoring team, I submit this response to the Newark Communities for Accountable Policing (N-CAP). We welcome this opportunity to share with N-CAP, and the broader Newark community, the proposal we submitted to the Department of Justice on February 13, 2015. Accordingly, enclosed, please find six copies of our proposal. The copies are unredacted since we, like N-CAP, believe that complete transparency in the selection process is essential from the very first. We also address N-CAP's specific questions. Although we answer each question individually, the questions seem (rightly) focused on two concerns: (1) how will our monitoring team engage with N-CAP, other stakeholders, andthe Newark community to be certain that residents understand the Consent Decree, the role of the Monitor, and have an effective voice in reshaping the Newark Police Department?; and (2) how will our monitoring team ensure that the reforms embodied in the Consent Decree outlive the Decree and the Monitor and firmly take root within the Police Department? The answer to the second is largely, if not wholly, dependent on the first. Newark is faced with a historic opportunity- to create a police department that prizes transparency, accountability, and engagement with the community, not just for five years, but forever.

  • Recommendations for a Hybridized Public Private Law Enforcement
    Recommendations for a Hybridized Public Private Law Enforcement Approach Approved: Cheryl Banachowski-Fuller 3/28/2019 i Recommendations for a Hybridized Public Private Law Enforcement Approach Benjamin M. Finn University of Wisconsin – Platteville Under the Supervision of Dr. Susan M. Hilal ii Acknowledgments Pursuing a Master’s Degree was a big step for me and could not have been possible without the never-ending support from my wife, Charissa. She cleared the way for me around a busy home to have the quiet time I needed to focus on this immense achievement, and I am forever grateful. The faculty and staff of UW-Platteville have been supportive the whole way, and special thanks goes to Dr. Susan Hilal for the guidance, and especially encouragement, that was crucial in seeing this through. iii Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the use of privatized entities within the law enforcement sector, primarily focusing on the United States, but with a cursory look at similar practices worldwide. The study examines particular obstacles such as constitutional issues, costs, recruitment deficits, and training/standards necessary for implementation, and how those are overcome in its implementation. This study also looks at various privatization models within comparable institutions to see what could work in law enforcement and identify best practices from other sectors, like the military, that have used private entities to deliver some of its law enforcement services. Methods Information for this study came from a review of secondary sources. These sources were from accredited journals, textbooks, agency websites, and government reports. The significant components of the private and government law enforcement partnerships that are identified through this research were compared to determine if similarities exist among the successful (and unsuccessful) attempts.

  • Constitutional Limits on Private Policing and the Stateâ•Žs
    ENION IN FINAL2 11/6/2009 2:11:02 PM Notes CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITS ON PRIVATE POLICING AND THE STATE’S ALLOCATION OF FORCE M. RHEAD ENION† ABSTRACT This Note argues that a variety of “private police” forces, such as university patrols and residential security guards, should be held to the constitutional limitations found in the Bill of Rights. These private police act as arms of the state by supplying force in response to a public demand for order and security. The state, as sovereign, retains responsibility to allocate force, in the form of either public or private police, in response to public demand. This state responsibility—a facet of its police power—is evidenced throughout English and American history. When this force responds to a public demand for order and security, existing state action doctrine case law places both public and private force under constitutional scrutiny. INTRODUCTION Policing in modern America has become a tangled web of what are typically referred to as public and private police forces.1 By the end of the twentieth century, public-private police partnerships † Duke University School of Law, J.D. expected 2010; Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, M.E.M. 2007; Stanford University, B.A. & B.S. 2002. I would like to thank the editors of the Duke Law Journal and Professor H. Jefferson Powell for their invaluable comments and assistance. I would also like to thank Risa Weaver for all her support and feedback. 1. At a basic level, the distinction between public and private police is one of funding: public police are funded directly by the state, while private police are funded directly by private organizations.

  • Policing and Intelligence
    THE THREE KEY SUCCESS FACTORS OF INNOVATION IN THE SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE Camille Ang & Du Yan Singapore Police Force ABSTRACT The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has long invested heavily in its people and leveraged technology to reach its vision of “making Singapore the safest place in the world”. As an organisation it benchmarks itself against the globally recognised Business Excellence Framework, for which it has won the Singapore Quality Award several times, including certification to its Innovation, People and Service classes since 2003-4, and the pinnacle award for sustained global leadership in policing in 2007 and 2019. These accolades are seen by the SPF leadership as health checks on the Force’s continuing commitment to innovation as policing increases in complexity. This article describes the strong sense of purpose shared by SPF officers, the organisation’s culture of innovation and its supportive and effective leadership – three factors the SPF considers key to its success in achieving its mission. INNOVATION IN POLICING organisations strengthen their management systems and processes to deliver superior When the Singapore Police Force (SPF) won performance.1 The first government department the country’s top internationally benchmarked to win the SQA in 2002, the SPF and its leaders business excellence award, the Singapore Quality saw the Business Excellence framework, with Award (SQA) with Special Commendation, for the its nine attributes of excellence – leading with second time in 2019, Commissioner of Police vision and integrity, creating value for customers, Hoong Wee Teck said: “What is effective today driving innovation and productivity, developing is not good enough for tomorrow.

    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE OF THE CONTROLLER Ben Rosenfield Controller Monique Zmuda Deputy Controller August 30, 2010 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Mayor, City and County of San Francisco Room 200, City Hall The Honorable Members, Board of Supervisors Room 244, City Hall The Honorable Members, San Francisco Police Commission 850 Bryant Street, Room 505 Dear Mayor Newsom, Ladies and Gentleman: I am pleased to provide you the final report on the Patrol Special Study commissioned by the San Francisco Police Commission and managed by the Controller’s Office. The purpose of the study was to determine the following; if the operation of the Patrol Specials fit the mission, vision and values of the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD), if the Patrol Specials operate in a comparable fashion to other private police entities and if the Patrol Specials meet the needs of stakeholders. Key findings contained in the report include: • Patrol Specials and their activities are private in nature; • Patrol Specials have unique benefits not available to other security guards; • Patrol Specials place a financial burden on the City; • The similar appearance of Patrol Specials to the SFPD causes confusion; • The Police Commission has legal oversight over the appointment of Patrol Specials, but not over their day-to-day operations; • Patrol Specials routinely violate the regulatory rules and procedures set out by the Police Commission. In response to these and other findings, consulting experts from the Public Safety Strategies Group (PSSG), who performed the study on our behalf, recommend that the Patrol Specials no longer operate under the City Charter.

  • Corporate Policing, Yellow Unionism, and Strikebreaking, 1890–1930
    Corporate Policing, Yellow Unionism, and Strikebreaking, 1890–1930 This book provides a comparative and transnational examination of the complex and multifaceted experiences of anti-labour mobilisation, from the bitter social conflicts of the pre-war period, through the epochal tremors of war and revolution, and the violent spasms of the 1920s and 1930s. It retraces the formation of an extensive market for corporate policing, privately contracted security and yellow unionism, as well as processes of professionalisation in strikebreaking activities, labour espionage and surveillance. It reconstructs the diverse spectrum of right-wing patriotic leagues and vigilante corps which, in support or in competition with law enforcement agencies, sought to counter the dual dangers of industrial militancy and revolutionary situations. Although considerable research has been done on the rise of socialist parties and trade unions the repressive policies of their opponents have been generally left unexamined. This book fills this gap by reconstructing the methods and strategies used by state authorities and employers to counter outbreaks of labour militancy on a global scale. It adopts a long-term chronology that sheds light on the shocks and strains that marked industrial societies during their turbulent transition into mass politics from the bitter social conflicts of the pre-war period, through the epochal tremors of war and revolution, and the violent spasms of the 1920s and 1930s. Offering a new angle of vision to examine the violent transition to mass politics in industrial societies, this is of great interest to scholars of policing, unionism and striking in the modern era. Matteo Millan is associate professor of modern and contemporary history at the University of Padova, Italy.
