What's the role of the #police? At times of #crisis and #disorder, police officers strive to establish #order and maintain the #peace. But at what cost? Recent events have evidenced abhorrent levels of violence against the #police, who beneath the uniform are people no different to you and I. Policing faces many challenges. Increasing levels of public abuse only adds to these challenges and makes an already difficult profession harder (and arguably less appealing). Just as the public #expects better from our #public #servants, so too do they #deserve #better from us! #Policing Islam Channel

The people of Australia are in a disease state it seems. Cases like McBride not only highlight the moral relativism that guides the Crown, what is not seen is that McBride is not an outlier. In fact, he is a signpost for how the Courts are conducting themselves in many facets, if not how society sees itself. I would suggest that the central argument in McBride's case is not legislative at all. It's Constitutional. It is common law, if not natural law. Specifically, the high beacon of all freedoms, that of freedom of speech. It may even be that it is worth considering McBride's defence as one involving the implied freedom of political communication outlined in Brown v Tasmania (2017) HCA and many other similar cases such as Clubb v Edwards [2019] HCA, McCloy v New South Wales (2015) HCA and Lange v Australian Broadcasting Corporation (1997) HCA. However, what is lost both notionally and in principle, Australia does have freedom of speech, but very few cases have brought this argument to the fore. In one such case, Tajjour v NSW 2014 (HCA), this was agitated briefly but the High Court shut the argument down and the defendant's lawyers didn't pursue it. Ostensibly, the High Court rolled out its usual trope that is steeped in Red Coat history, that "political communication is protected by the implied freedom, but speech is to be regulated by the states". In other words, the defendant must submit and obey to the all powerful and all knowing Crown. It would appear that no one wants to challenge this presumption, despite the fact that the Australian Constitution was founded on the principles of the US Constitution and its Bill of Rights. The fundamental difference being that framers of our Constitution took a very Millsian approach by protecting 'rights' negatively, where freedoms are protected not on an individual level, but as a restraint on all law making power. Despite this, in all practicality, our speech is very much regulated by the states, which is why we have state 'protections' that are becoming tyrannical in their essence - protecting people by limiting speech under the guise of 'anti discrimination'. Regardless, it is clear that there is public outrage at the finding in McBride's case, yet so few are willing to look under the proverbial hood that is empowering the Crown to make such decisions. The fact is, we cannot have our cake and eat it too. Freedom is always limited by the allure of safety, and here McBride is being punished for our sins of not standing up for our common law rights and protections.
BREAKING: David McBride has been sentenced to almost 6 years’ jail for leaking documents to the ABC which helped expose war crimes in Afghanistan. He is the first person to be imprisoned in relation to Australia’s war crimes in Afghanistan – the whistleblower, not a war criminal. This is a dark day for our democracy and will have a grave, chilling effect on potential whistleblowers. Whistleblowers make Australia a better place by exposing human rights abuses, wrongdoing and corruption. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g5APpZfx

Surveys suggest that the American public increasingly agrees with the persistent media narrative that fatal police shootings and use of excessive force are common, and getting worse. Activists and political leaders frequently refer to these fatal incidents and police use of force broadly as “police violence.” In 2021, then-Speaker of the US House of Representatives called “police brutality” an “epidemic.”1 But the facts don’t support those claims. In reality, fatal police shootings and all uses of force are exceedingly rare, very limited, and overwhelmingly justified. The myths around police force and fatal shootings are both false and pernicious, yet pervasive.. #policechief #lawenforcement #police #leadershipmatters #PCPA

Check out the May/June issue of Blue Line Magazine, where I co-authored a short article about the usage of ground penetrating radar (GPR) in criminal investigations and the mutual benefits of collaborations between law enforcement and academia. #BlueLine #GPR
The May/June issue of #BlueLine is out now! In this month's cover story, editor Brittani Schroeder spoke with Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah about which new technologies have impacted policing operations over the last few years. You can also find stories on strategies for modernizing patrol operations, a look at policing in the digital era, and research on how ground penetrating radar and geoforensics can aid in criminal investigations.

💡 Insightful article - Policing Institutions and Post-Conflict Peace How do policing institutions affect the prospects for peace in post-conflict settings? The authors present a principal-agent theoretical framework to explain how the institutional design of policing affects the recurrence of civil conflict. They argue that the fragmentation of police forces can reignite conflict dynamics by impeding coordinated action, undermining information sharing, and enabling agents to pursue their own interests. They test these expectations with the Police Force Organization Dataset (PFOD) on police forces in over 100 developing states. Their empirical analyses show that increasing the number of distinct police forces is systematically associated with an increased risk of conflict recurrence in post-conflict states. They also find that a larger number of police forces are associated with more abuse against civilian populations in post-conflict states, setting the stage for new grievances that may undermine peace. #policing #stability #civilsecurity #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #peacebuilding
