Affirmative Action & The Detroit Police Department :
A 12 page research paper outlining the results of an affirmative
action program implemented in the Detroit police department in
the mid-1970s. Stresses that the current successes of
affirmative action policies, which are no longer in effect, could
be lost without continued vigilance to maintain the current racial
composition of the force. One method of doing this is the
continued provision of training for both promotional candidates
and first-time applicants to the force. Bibliography lists fifteen

Illegal Searches & Seizures :
6 pages. With major U.S. cities
not far from the Mexican border, the State of California finds
itself in a unique geographic position for illegal smuggling.
Consequently, police officers are often tempted to search
vehicles traveling local highways without probable cause.
Various legal cases are cited and it is argued that the Courts
must serve a "greater good" and work to stop illegal searches.
Several ideas to stop the problem are presented including
harsher penalties for police officers who conduct searches
illegally and the requirement that vehicle operators sign consent
forms prior to the commencement of any search. Bibliography
lists 7 sources. Policesc.wps
Search & Seizure : A 9 page paper that
discusses the debate
between protecting society and avoiding police harassment as it
relates to the search and seizure issue. The writer argues that
the only answer resides in interdependence of the separate
"agencies" (community and police) with each other. The paper
explores the issue based on a history of the use of search and
seizure, the making of the exclusionary law and the 1995
loosening of that law, and how police and individuals can solve
the issue through community involvement. Bibliography lists 9
