Police departments work to enforce the law and keep the peace within their jurisdictions. They are typically staffed by sworn law enforcement officers who have the power to make arrests and carry firearms.
Many police departments also offer a variety of community-based programs and services designed to improve public safety.
From the author of the Agatha Raisin television series. DEATH OF A POLICEMAN: A Hamish Macbeth MysteryLocal police stations all over the Scottish Highlands are being threatened with closure. This presents the perfect opportunity for Detective Chief Inspector Blair, who would love nothing more than to get rid of Sergeant Hamish Macbeth.
Blair suggests that Cyril Sessions, a keen young police officer, visit the town of Lochdubh to monitor exactly what Macbeth does every day. Macbeth hears about Blair’s plan and is prepared to insure that Cyril returns back to headquarters with a full report.
But Cyril is soon found dead and Hamish quickly becomes the prime suspect in his murder.
Lightweight, tongue in cheek and very funny, often in a dark way, these books [there are a whole series of Hamish Macbeth books] are an ideal way to pass the time. They are easy to read, and perfect for holidays, times when you don’t want something heavy or ponderous and you just want a bit of non-deemanding entertainment.
There are many laugh out loud moments, and you need to suspend your disbelief, but if you can, you will have a fun time following the antics of all the characters, many of whom appear in all of the novels.
PolicemanThis cardboard cutout of a policeman is great for many occasions! Policemen work together to protect cities, towns, counties, states, and other types of environments. Policemen make you feel safe, so why not have one in your home? Buy your policeman standup today!.
Its not cardboard but its just as fragile. We have a show vendor here in New Mexico and the wind isnt very strong. Roughly 10-14mph gusts. I finally got it together. Its impossible not to crease the flimsy back support while attaching it to the main piece.
Ive literally had cardboard version that are stronger than this. The wind bent the upper half over while I was taking it down for the evening. Not very practical for vendors who need to use it repeatedly.
Def not what we were expecting. The one word I would use to describe it with is Fragile.
I got this Elvis cardboard cutout as a birthday gift. I was given the money and told to buy the first kitschy thing that caught my eye. It. Is. Awesome. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the image is a teensy bit blurry.
I suppose that’s to be expected with a life-sized image though. He is legit 6 feet tall and so fabulous. The gold lame suit image of Elvis has always been a favorite of mine and now I have him happily standing guard in my craft room.
SO COOL. My friends and family think it’s just the neatest thing to have! AND. talk about affordable. Zulily’s pricing was just the icing on the cake!.
Traditional 5-crease military style Sew-in military style creases Pleated pockets with scalloped flaps, pencil slot left, and hook-and-loop closure Convertible sport collar Epaulets Badge eyelets with internal support strap Extra-long shirt tails.
The zipper attachment is always a game changer. Because I have to wear body armor under the uniform the stretch sides help with comfort. I have always liked the hook loop pocket design as opposed to the regular buttons.
The radio clip is definitely a plus to not need another device to hold one in place. The satin? Around the neck and shoulders help with durability. Overall it gives a crisp professional design.
I am not in law enforcement but I was looking for this type of uniform shirt to wear with jeans. Bauer makes this model in many different fabrics but I am happy to have chosen the wool version. There are many features on this shirt that IMO hold up better with heavier weight material.
Just the same it breathes very well for warmer weather. I recommend going with this wool version for durability and fabric quality unless you need a specific fabric for work. Fit is tailored and the body length is long enough to secure itself when tucked into pants.
When worn with a shirt underneath I can get away wearing this untucked which was my original intention. I own the black and silver/tan versions.
Really like the look and fit of this shirt. Since I live in an area where the summer heat pushes past 100 degrees for days on end, the venting on the sides is a definite plus and the main reason this is my go-to uniform shirt.
My only complaint is when I need to replace one such as now, and my size is not available, the notify me when the product is in stock option has never worked.
PlayStation 4 – Interpret the law as you see fit in This Is the Police 2, sequel to the acclaimed noir drama This Is the Police! Run the sheriff’s department, manage your cops, investigate, interrogate, incarcerate, and make tough decisions.
Try to keep out of prison yourself in this story-driven mixture of adventure and strategy, set in a cold border town riven with violence. Welcome to Sharpwood, where people know their neighbors by name and faithfully keep to their traditions, no matter how barbaric those traditions might be.
Smugglers, gangs, and screaming populists call this town their home. Despair grows like a cancer, hand in hand with violence. It’s a hell of a job for the new sheriff, Lilly Reed. She’s struggling to maintain order and peace, while her subordinates are uncouth men who aren’t used to taking commands from a young woman.
But everything changes when a mysterious stranger calling himself Warren Nash appears in Sharpwood. And no one knows what he’ll bring to the town: salvation or perdition.
Outstanding and much deeper game than the first. The developers did their homework on the AI and NPC interaction with you as a player. I really enjoy the deeper game play found here and decided to try it after enjoying the first one so much.
It is not a fast pick-me-up type of game and the story will punish you if you just try to rush through. You have to manage everything and everyone in your control, and if you are not the patient type of game player that this game is marketed at, you won’t like failing your police department.
I’d heard good things about the predecessor to this game but I never got a chance to play it. I must say that I am surprised. It’s a very enjoyable game in the day of rocking graphics and soundtracks.
I wish more developers focused on actual gameplay. Not sure it has a ton of replay value, but well worth the purchase price.

Give a friend a gift of this colorful Occupational Mug, which honors their chosen profession. It features a heartwarming phrase and a whimsical handle made up of things associated with their job. 20 oz.
I BOUGHT 4 POLICE MUGS & 2 HAIRSTYLIST MUGS. MY ORDER CAME QUICKLY & EACH MUG WAS INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED FOR SAFETY. I GAVE ONE TO MY HAIRSTYLIST FOR EASTER & SHE COULDN’T STOP SMILING! SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT & WAS SHOWING HER CO-WORKER THE MINUTE SHE WALKED INTO THE SALON! THESE MUGS ARE WELL WORTH THE PRICE & PROBABLY SHOULD BE SOLD FOR A LARGER PRICE THAN YOU CHARGE BECAUSE THE ARE SO WELL MADE & UNIQUE.
ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! I PURCHASED THE POLICE MUGS AS AN APPRECIATION GIFT FOR MY COMMUNITY SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS & I WISH I COULD BE THERE TO SEE THEIR REACTION, BUT I’M SURE THEY WILL ALSO LOVE THEM.
I’M SO GLAD I DISCOVERED THIS COMPANY! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THESE OCCUPATIONAL MUGS & I WOULD DEFINITELY ORDER AGAIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME BRING JOY TO THOSE WHO RECEIVED THIS GIFT!.
I purchased the Teacher Mug for my daughter-in-law, she doesn’t have it yet – birthday is later. I think she will enjoy it. However, there was a flaw in the mug. I worked on it and it looks OK; however, it also was not balanced properly so it rocked when I set it down.
Filed it down to make it sit straight. Thought about sending it back, but was not wanting to pay the postage. I do wish I could have purchased the “Hairdresser Mug”, but apparently it is no longer available.
When my coffee gets too cold I typically zap it in the microwave. Impossible with this mug as the handle gets incredibly hot — hotter than the coffee & the rest of the mug. That makes it impossible to pick up, hold, & drink from.
Also the paint around the rim is coming off turning from red to orange. Sigh.
Police officers get trained for anything they might run into on patrol. But, some situations call for very specialized training, and when those times come up, cops trained in special tactics jump into action.
Storming the scene in this Sultry SWAT Officer costume will stop the bad guys in their tracks! SWAT (or Special Weapons And Tactics, if you’re not up to date on police lingo) teams get called to a crime scene or a hostage situation when things are either already pretty dangerous or are expected to get that way soon.
It’s tough work, but that’s why SWAT teams are some of the toughest cops on the force. One of the perks of being part of such a well-oiled law enforcement machine is you can dress however you want! Actually, that’s probably not true, but if you were an elite SWAT officer and could pick your uniform, would you want to show up on the scene in a stiff, bland looking outfit? Or would you rather strut around in something intimidating and sassy, to show criminals what a highly trained, gung ho gal can do? This costume might not meet police department regulations, but it shows everyone that you definitely mean business.
One look at your tactically sexy dress will have crooks tripping over their own feet. And when you add a pair of seductive stockings and fierce looking boots, and a SWAT hat or helmet to complete this alluring uniform, they won’t even consider resisting arrest if you’re the one slapping the cuffs on them!.
Got this costume last year for my last college Halloween hurrah! Previous years I had gone as Ke$ha and Lady Gaga (which were both big hits), but last year I just wanted something simple. Tried this on in store and it fit amazingly well.
I’m 5’7″ and 120 lbs, completely flat-chested, but I do have a booty. I liked that the top of the dress wasn’t too low cut or see-through, which allowed me to wear a really good bra underneath. The dress hugs in all the right places yet is super comfortable! Shoulder straps were a tad long but I simply criss-crossed them in back, which seemed to help the problem.
Accessories: arm/leg bands and gloves fit fine and were fun additions to have. I tried real fishnets underneath but you could see the pattern displayed across my assets, which bothered me. I wore fishnet patterned hose instead and they looked just as sexy.
High-heel boots look fantastic with this costume but pumps would work well, too. I wanted a weapon of sorts so I bought a police baton. It had a wrist strap and was much easier to have on me than toting around a huge gun, which is something to consider if you’re going party hopping and plan to have a drink in your hand all night.
Overall: GREAT quality costume! Wore it two nights in a row and got many compliments. Just the right amount of sexy! My boyfriend loved it, too! ;).
Most of us need to check reviews for sizing info because this product has a S/M, M/L range which can get pretty tricky. Unfortunately no reviews helped me when I had to order the costume online because I was getting it cheaper than in store so I actually went to the store, tried on the right size and ordered it online! LET ME BE THE ONE TO TELL YOU HOW THE SIZING WORKS EXACTLY! The first size on the tag is the correct one.
If your are a S, the S/M is best. If you are a M like I am, the M/L is your size. If your are a L, the XL sounds big but it is the correct size for the perfect snug fit. I wear a M in all my clothes but when I tried the S/M, the skirt was extra short, and it was a very very snug fit which wasn’t very comfortable.
Again, the first size is the correct one. S/M is a small. M/L fits M best. The material is one of the best and it’s not like the other costumes made of that really soft latex/stretchy shiny material.
It doesn’t feel cheap at all. It’s really good quality, thick fabric, good stuff!.
Great Halloween costume! It was a hit at the party I attended. The straps have velcro attachments in the front which let you choose to have the straps either cross in the back or go straight over your shoulders.
I am 5’10 and usually a large, so I was a bit worried about the combined sizes. but the M/L size was perfect – stretchy, fit well over bust and hips, and was very flattering & comfortable! The armband and garter are tight – wish they would be made of a stretchier, more flexible material like the dress.
I ended up wearing the armband on my lower arm, the garter on my upper arm, and got another garter. My only real issue was the zipper. It held up all night (8+ hours!!!) but at the end of the night decided to split and I could not fix it.
Good thing I was on my way home! A slightly more heavy-duty/sweatshirt style separating zipper would probably hold up better, and would be easy to fix if split. Personally, I will be dishing out the $5-10 to replace the zipper and use this costume again, I loved it and have tons of other events I can use this for!!.
This is designed to meet your tactical needs. This Leapers black vest is an all time favorite vest of many professions like EMTs, firefighters, security personnel and SWAT teams for its high configured versatility.
This vest is of high quality materials, and has so many options that you have to see yourself to believe. The belt is very adjustable and is attached to the vest. You can attach Molle accessory carriers to the back AND to the belt.
I was able to attach an old-school holster for a. 45 ACP to the belt. I bought extra 5. 56 mag carriers and attached them to the back and to the belt, easily. The pouches included are very versatile and can accommodate a multitude of rifle and/or pistol mags.
The side straps allow you to custom fit this vest to your size. Watch your size range, use the chart. The back pouch for the rifle plate is easy to open and seems pretty secure. You should be able to figure out how to adjust the straps and secure the loose ends with the slip loops easily.
I has a small body build. Only 5’5 and 128 pounds with chest size 34R. My concern when purchasing clothing was that it may not fit me. However, this vest gives me a great range of adjustable sizes and I managed to make it fit snugly.
The right shoulder pad for rifle butt stock is rather thin. I wish it was thicker and had more padding. I also took the pistol holster out because I prefer strong side hip draw than cross draw. That leaves me a large area of velcro to play with.
Noted that the holster fits a full size Beretta 92FS. Another thing I wish it had was a universal PALS web in the back (some people call them MOLLE straps). But I knew what I was getting. My favorite part was the belt.
It is has a lot of room to adjust and customize. I’ve put my regular pistol holster on as well as knife sheath. Overall, this is hell of a deal for the money. Satisfied and definitely will recommend this.
Strong material except for the sides elastic string. It feels like it will break eventually. If it does the vest will be almost useless. Can only adjust the tightened so much so if your on the skinny side this will fit loose.
Some vest have nylon ballistic straps that would be more durable. The gun holster is positioned in a uncomfortable spot, and the retention strap is not securely in place. That could use some real improvement.
The pockets are nice except for the baton holder. It would of been better just to put another closer mag pocket instead. Overall a nice inexpensive vest with limitations.

My son wanted this particular set but we didn’t want to pay the $352 for it. We decided to buy it used, instead. My son was thrilled that the whole set was appropriately bagged and marked and that the instructions were included.
It took him most of Christmas Day to put it together but he loved every minute of it and is proud to add this Lego set to his collection.
LEGO got a lot of things correct with this Police Station. And look, Rubber tires! The police vehicles, especially the motorcycle, offer hours of enjoyment. Together with the functionality of the working jail cells, and legoman Identification unit, guard tower, and communications, I find my child’s play to very in-depth and complex.

I absolutely love this iconic jacket. The fit was perfect and it was warm and comfortable. I couldn’t wait for winter so I could wear it. I’m a civilian, so I don’t need it for duty, but I love the iconic style and color of this jacket so I had to buy it.
Two days after I received it, my best friend, who is a Catholic priest, came to my apartment to help me with a serious spiritual matter because I am on disability and going through an extremely critical time.
As he was leaving I wanted to give him something to return the favor and also as a tithe, but he refused any gifts until I had an idea: obviously, he always wears black and in these times, he is also a target for violence unfortunately.
Also, he is a masculine, no-nonsense guy who has no interest in clothes or fashion. I gave him the jacket and he loved it! It’s black, it’s warm (he’s in northern CT) and it’s very masculine and bad-ass looking, which might deter any future attacks.
Great coat. Good fit, not hard to move around in, like some others. I really like the cuffs on the liner sleeves to help keep the wind out. The only issues are no inside pocket, and no drawstring on the hood.

the hiring process for a police department
The hiring process for a department of police departments to work for can be long and exacting. The first step is usually to take a written exam that tests for basic knowledge of the law, department procedures, and English grammar and writing skills.
Next, applicants must undergo a physical agility test to ensure they are physically fit for the job. After that, they must complete an oral interview with a panel of department officials. Finally, the applicant’s name is added to a eligible list from which the department can make its selections.

To build trust, police departments must be transparent and accountable, treat all members of the community with respect, and listen to the concerns of the people they serve.
