Introduction (DRAFT): Law Enforcement trends have been evolving over many years to include equipment, community policing, and law enforcement training. In the following research I will focus on three specific present-day trends that have had an interesting impact on our communities. The top three major trends that I have researched include the focus on community-oriented policing, prioritizing officer health and wellness, and the focus on police accountability. With the vast diversity of communities within the United States, the focus on community-oriented policing has never been more important.

 *Some questions I have regarding feedback/input from the class would be how your local community police department has done with promoting police-oriented initiatives, such as ride a long programs, school outreach programs to children, or any social media initiatives. Being from a small town in West Virginia, a local police department decided to use social media as a deterrent for criminals. Instead of using the newspaper to list names of individuals arrested during the week, they post on the departments Facebook the criminals, crime, and mugshot. As many of you know, most people have social media such as Facebook and this gets the information out to the community on what actions the department is doing on a week-to-week basis. Some positives I see in this type of information sharing is that it does show transparency to the public on what is being done, who it is being arrested, and acts like a deterrent to anyone who may think about committing a crime. Potential criminals knowing ahead of time that their information will be broadcasted to most of the community about the crime may deter the behavior. This social media sharing by this department has other surrounding departments doing the same thing. This helps with overall crime solving by providing the community with pictures of theft from stores/banks and emergency broadcasts, i.e., silver/amber alerts. I believe this is useful in smaller towns or cities, but with larger areas or cities, this may be an issue with the large amount of information that would be feasible to post every day.
