General Operators for PDF, Common to All Language Levels PUBLIC SAFETY The Impact of Terrorism on State Law Enforcement By Chad Foster and Gary Cordner Traditionally, state-level law enforcement has represented about 10 percent of total police employment in the United States. In keeping with this employment level, state law enforcement has traditionally played an important, but relatively small role in the overall picture of policing America. The information collected for this project, however, indicates an expanding role for state law enforcement since 2001, partly due to new roles and responsibilities associated with homeland security, and partly because state police are filling gaps and vacuums created by shifts in federal law enforcement priorities. Thus, while it is true that all types of police agencies have been significantly affected post Sept. 11, it seems that state law enforcement agencies have been affected the most.

  • The Peace Officers' Association of Georgia Foundation
    The Peace Officers’ Association of Georgia Foundation Use of Force in Georgia Executive Summary This paper is an attempt to define the problems associated with the use of force used by peace officers in Georgia. The result of the 2014 incidents in Ferguson, Missouri, has created a focus on the issues of race relations between the police and the public. Movements, such as a group calling itself Black Lives Matter, have sprung up over most of the United States with the purpose of keeping a spotlight on what is described as the excessive force use by police against minority groups, especially young, black males. Many law enforcement agencies in Georgia continue to have difficulty in recruiting, and retaining peace officers with the appropriate mind set and temperament for doing a difficult job. Random murders of peace officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge have a chilling effect on recruitment and retention. A portion of this paper discusses the mind set of some peace officers who see themselves as “Warriors” and others who view their job as more aligned with the “Guardian.” Some general traits of both descriptions can be found in almost every law enforcement agency in Georgia, however, the emphasis of adherence to well written and well thought out policy guidelines can set the tone for officers making sound use of force decisions. Many law enforcement agencies have surplus military equipment that was decommissioned and made available by the United States government. Although some of that equipment has been returned because of issues with public perception, there has recently been some positive news coverage of the appropriate mission for such equipment, including the June 2016 rescue of many hostages in Orlando, Florida through the use of an armored vehicle.
