Definition

  • Policing, like other occupations, claims a mandate. Especially since the advent of “professional policing,” the school of thought and practice that combined applied science, radio communication, and rapid transportation to aid in crime control, the police have encouraged public dependence on them by soliciting demand for their services and by selectively adopting new technologies.
