Because of personal experiences and stories in the media, there are many different opinions on the police. To work in the field of policing in today’s environment, it is important to understand the past and those who have had an impact.

The topics will include the history and evolution of police in America and the various police departments that come under the purview of law enforcement.

Address the following in the script: Who is Robert Peel, and what is his significance related to policing? Describe an event that occurred in the Political Era of Policing. How do you feel it has impacted policing today? Explain what changed in policing during the Professional Era. Explain the policy crises of the 1960s. Describe at least 2 developments in policing since 1970. Briefly explain the structure of the police force at the state and local levels. Incorporate one citation/reference from the course textbook and at least two academic citations/references outside of your textbook in your conversational script. Your name, course number, and date should be listed first followed by eight paragraphs (3 – 5 sentences). Because this is an academic assignment, each paragraph (except opening and closing remarks) must include at least one source citation, in APA format. List the source references, in APA format, at the bottom of the script. Submit your assignment in the assignment context box or as an attachment using Microsoft Word or PDF format.
