Document Summary
Watchman- style situation: describe a situation in which the watchman style of policing would be used in the career field, watchman style. This style is primarily concerned with order maintenance- maintaining order and controlling illegal and disruptive behavior. Officers in a watchman-style department exercise a great deal of discretion and ignore many minor violations, especially those involving juveniles and traffic. Officers use persuasion and threats, or even hassle or rough up disruptive people, instead of making formal arrests. This style is generally found in working-class communities with partisan mayor- city council forms of government. (dempsey et al. , 2018) Based on my chosen career field of a dea agent, the watchman style of policing would be implemented during an active investigation in which the primary target is a large-scale drug dealer. In exchange for this individual, agents may survey and interrogate small-time dealers to get who they really want.
