A.

DEFINE THE PIRNCIPLE OF POLICING OF SIR ROBERT PEEL

- 9 Policing Principles
To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military
force and severity of legal punishment.
To recognize always that the power of the police to fulfill their functions and
duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on
their ability to secure and maintain public respect.
To recognize always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the
public means also the securing of the willing cooperation of the public in the task of
securing observance of laws.
To recognize always that the extent to which the cooperation of the public can be
secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and
compulsion for achieving police objectives.
To seek and preserve public favor, not by pandering to public opinion, but by
constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to law, in complete independence of
policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws,
by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without
regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good
humor, and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.
To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning
is found to be insufficient to obtain public cooperation to an extent necessary to secure
observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical
force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective.
To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the
historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the
police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties
which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and
existence.
To recognize always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions,
and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary of avenging
individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty.
To recognize always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and
disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.

B. Is this still applicable today? Explain.


- The principles are still valid today and have shaped the approach that police
system takes when assessing how well police forces are working for the public.
The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval
of police actions.
