Document Summary
Policing is a process wilfully directed towards the production of order and proffering assurances of safety and security. Policing takes care of law enforcement and crime detection to maintain peace, safety and security. 1- the basic mission for which the police exists is to prevent crime and disorder. 2- the ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police actions. 3- police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observances of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public. 4- the degree of cooperation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force. 5- police seek and preserve public favour, not by catering to public opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law.
