PART TWO: "The Chicago Police Department has unconstitutionally engaged in a pattern of excessive and deadly force!"

You are absolutely right, Matthew! This is why we developed our scientifically validated Critical Aggression Prevention System (CAPS). We use "objective measurable observables," which produce evidence-based Best Practices. With our new Observy Mobile App, Law Enforcement Officers and carry these analytics on the smart phones. No, I don't expect them to use this system while in the midst of an incident, but before these observable will identify someone "on the path to violence," or the precursors to violence so they have an opportunity for prevent an incident before it occurs. This is not a magic wand, but a tool that brings an officer from all of the subjective "perspective" references to "objective measurable observables."

Community policing is definitely a major issue in law enforcement and is an extremely difficult issue to solve. There is a lot of resentment on both sides (community and police) and a lot of mistrust. In law enforcement research, it's difficult to quantify/qualify research because the researcher is looking on paper or doing experiments in a "post" environment. They aren't on the scene or have ever been on the scene. They haven't been called the names, spit on, punched in the face, shot at, or just saw a newborn with their head blown off and then 10 minutes later have to take a missing bike report. Imagine what mindset you would be in; the short fuse you would have. There are so many variables to law enforcement research from an officers perspective a lot of people think it is difficult to research a majority of topics without having experienced these variables. However, no point is mute when it comes to community policing because it is so important. It's almost like a theoretical version of how to achieve community policing against a realist version if that makes sense? I wrote an article when I was early on in college about this that sort of is in this area, feel free to read it if you'd like, it may give some insight to both, the use of academic research and my experience, to write this article. From one perspective of a former cop on community policing. Of course, now I could write an entirely different 20-page paper probably on it haha. https://lawofficer.com/leadership/community-oriented-policing/community-policing-in-america-is-it-possible-in-2017-and-beyond/

Thank you very much, Cherrye!
