Question?
In addition to a background check, a written exam, a polygraph test, and a physical agility test, hiring police officers also depends on psychological tests and an interview process that evaluates (1) personal history, (2) negative information from other agencies (such as previously failing a polygraph), (3) employment background, (4) criminal behavior, (5) financial information, (6) illegal drug use, (7) alcohol use, and (8) illegal or deviant sexual behavior. Police work is multifaceted. Law enforcement (investigating complaints, making arrests, prosecuting suspects, and crime prevention) accounts for roughly 10% of police activity. Maintaining order (intervening in family and neighborhood disputes, keeping traffic moving, and responding to disturbances of the peace) accounts for roughly 30% of police activity. Providing social services to the community is even more time-consuming. However, these proportions may vary if officers are involved in the approach known as community policing. Describe how and why community policing is a practical approach to policing a society.
