Transcribed Image Text:CASE STUDY: You Are the Police Officer You have been a campus police officer at a college in the western United States for the last three years. When you attended a small college and studied American policing, you were impressed the first time you learned about police careers. A police officer's job has the elements of an excellent career, including little time sitting at a desk or a cubicle during business hours, which suited your preferences. You favored a country setting rather living in an urban environment where most of the jobs are. You wanted a people-contact job helping individuals-in particular, college-aged people-make good choices about their lives. But social work, counseling, and teaching seemed like only part of what you wanted to do with your life, at least for right now. In your last year of college you saw a recruiting poster for the campus police department. The sign read that they were interviewing job candidates during the week before Thanksgiving break. You asked your adviser about the job posting, and she recommended that you talk to the campus police recruiters to get interview experience. She also mentioned that your parents might be happy that you actively sought employment after graduation. When you and the other students arrived at the appointed time for the interview, the campus police department presented a short media piece about the college, the police department, and the students on the campus. What caught your eye was that the college buildings were situated in rambling hills rather than built on flat ground, the police officers had the same authority and responsibilities as most municipal police organizations, and their challenges were unique given the small, nationally recognized college community they served. Also, the students pictured at the university seemed to represent many different ethnic groups. But what hooked you was the fact that campus police officers were encouraged to partner with faculty, staff, and students on crime prevention and law enforcement issues. You also liked the idea that officers were on bike patrol throughout most of the school semesters. The benefits seemed great, and the free tuition for a masters' program only added to the position's attractiveness. Oddly, everything about the job seemed to match your expectations about a career-and it didn't even require you to move to an urban area. One concern you had was that the local municipal police department in the area where the campus was situated conducted all of the investigations linked to crimes of violence rather than the campus police. The recruiters said that, similar to the practice followed by many police departments that lacked the expertise or budget to conduct investigations, the campus police's policy permitted seeking another police agency's help. When another student asked if the local police department could come on campus and raid a dorm, the answer was that public police department responsibilities were generally fragmented. You remember checking that out after you completed the application for the job. 1. Why would most campus police officers have authority similar to that of local or municipal officers? 2. In what way might the limitations of campus police employment outweigh the limitations of employment at a local police department for-some prospective officers? 3. Explain the advantages of fragmentation among police departments in the United States.

CASE STUDY: You Are the Police Officer
You have been a campus police officer at a college in the western United States for the last three years. When you
attended a small college and studied American policing, you were impressed the first time you learned about
police careers. A police officer's job has the elements of an excellent career, including little time sitting at a desk or
a cubicle during business hours, which suited your preferences. You favored a country setting rather living in an
urban environment where most of the jobs are. You wanted a people-contact job helping individuals-in particular,
college-aged people-make good choices about their lives. But social work, counseling, and teaching seemed like only
part of what you wanted to do with your life, at least for right now.
In your last year of college you saw a recruiting poster for the campus police department. The sign read that they
were interviewing job candidates during the week before Thanksgiving break. You asked your adviser about the job
posting, and she recommended that you talk to the campus police recruiters to get interview experience. She also
mentioned that your parents might be happy that you actively sought employment after graduation.
When you and the other students arrived at the appointed time for the interview, the campus police department
presented a short media piece about the college, the police department, and the students on the campus. What
caught your eye was that the college buildings were situated in rambling hills rather than built on flat ground,
the police officers had the same authority and responsibilities as most municipal police organizations, and their
challenges were unique given the small, nationally recognized college community they served. Also, the students
pictured at the university seemed to represent many different ethnic groups. But what hooked you was the fact that
campus police officers were encouraged to partner with faculty, staff, and students on crime prevention and law
enforcement issues. You also liked the idea that officers were on bike patrol throughout most of the school semesters.
The benefits seemed great, and the free tuition for a masters' program only added to the position's attractiveness.
Oddly, everything about the job seemed to match your expectations about a career-and it didn't even require you
to move to an urban area.
One concern you had was that the local municipal police department in the area where the campus was situated
conducted all of the investigations linked to crimes of violence rather than the campus police. The recruiters said
that, similar to the practice followed by many police departments that lacked the expertise or budget to conduct

if the local police department could come on campus and raid a dorm, the answer was that public police department
