2. The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependant upon public approval of police actions.

I do not agree with this principle. Public approval of police actions can cause so many issues. Everyone has different opinions of how particular tasks and duties should be carried out, and opening this up for the public to have a voice when it comes to policing matters can only cause tension and create a divison within communities.

The public should assist the police in performing duties but their influence should not dictate police actions or duties, that is up to the Police Commissioner.

Principle 8: police should always direct their action strictly towards their functions  and never appear to unsurp their powers of the judiciary.

The purpose of this principle is to avenge individuals or the state.

This is achieved through authoritively judging guilt or punishing the guilty, by using law enforcement powers.

I believe this is a required principle as it outlines basic needs of law enforcement agencies.

5. Police seek and preserve public favour not by catering to the public opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law.

I believe that this principle is effective as police go above and beyond what the community expect them to do so that the community can see that they are willing to do more than what is required by them.

6. Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient.

I agree with physical force when other aspects have been attempted and are not effectively working, however physical force should only be undertaken when the individual is not co operating or his or hers life or others life is in danger.

1. The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder

I believe this section is needed, because the police system were created and designed to prevent and eliminate law breakers that caused chaotic to the society. Hence, police roles and duties involves general duties, detective and more.

The basic mission for which the police exists is to prevent crime and disorder.

This first principle, which is define within Sir Robert Peel’s principles of law enforcement 1829, provides the most crucial definition of policing as well as providing a valid reason for the existence of the police. It highlights that, whilst there is crime and disorder within a society, there will be an even an opposing force of police officer who aim to diminish said crime.

Although I acknowledge that this is a major mission embarked by the police, I also believe community based policing is just as essential; For a crime to be able to fluctuate properly against the tides of crime and disorder, the communities within these societies must first acknowledge the police. Thus, about Sir Robert Peel’s quotes; ‘the police are the community and the community are the police’.

3. Police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public.

Do I agree with this? Yes. A big part of policing (arguably the only part) is people. To maintain low criminal activity or just peace and harmony in general, there has to a relationship between the community and the police  where not only the police are shown respect but the citizens as well.

According to the U.S department of Justice (2015), Police - community relationship is  essential and necessary as Police rely on the public to willingly and voluntarily follow the law, Policing in Australia is not a one sided force that demands legality rather one that expects and hopes that it will happen, again that element of trust is present here, this further perpetuates Sir Robert Peel's 3rd principle of law enforcement 1829, where "police must secure the willing cooperation of the public" to put it in a nutshell gain the people's trust and believe that they will abide by the law but still remain vigilant I guess.

Sir Peel's Robert
Principles of Law Enforcement 1829
Number 9: The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.

This is the ninth and last principle of Sir Robert Peel's Principles of Law Enforcement (1829). In 1829, the word 'efficiency' has more significance than it does today. Efficiency is divided into two categories, which is efficiency measurements and effectiveness measurement. The ninth principle is the first to measure police performance and the effectiveness of the service that is provided.

As this is one of the first principles to measure the effectiveness of police performance, it is hard to determine the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it. As the media isn't able to portray all the police actions, reporting to the public using annual reports are the visible evidence of police action.

It is important that this principle is employed as tax payers are concerned with where there tax is spent and if it is well spent.

I was allocated no. 7 i do believe police should maintain a relationship with the public as it can help with investigating crimes and help with other roles police have to do. Further, "police are the public and the public are the police" is a true and important quote as it is the public who do police the streets by helping the authorities  report crimes that are committed which then are publicised by the police illustrate that the crime committed was wrong.

Police give their full attention to the public at all times to ensure that 1. they are ready the call for help and 2. to provide assistance when ever they can where ever they can. This is necessary with out their full attention to the public community welfare and existence will deplete and also the relationship with the public.

6. Police use physical force to extend necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion advice and warning is found to be insufficient

The purpose behind this commandment, is to uphold the law through necessary physical force if communication or several warnings are not successful, as well as taking into account the aggravating factor and purpose behind the use of physical force. This can be shown through the Elmerhebe (2016) article, where they are able to depict the necessary use of physical force, when several warrants and warnings were delivered and not successful, thus showing us that the use of physical force is necessary to uphold the law and restore justice in society.
