What is Law
Enforcement ?
 Law enforcement is the activity of some members
of government who act in an organized manner to
enforce the law by discovering, deterring, rehabilitating,
or punishing people who violate the rules and norms
governing that society. The term encompasses police,
courts, and corrections.
Sir Robert Peel’s Nine Principles of Policing

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

PRINCIPLE 2 “The ability of the police to perform their duties is

dependent upon public approval of police actions.”

PRINCIPLE 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.”
PRINCIPLE 4 “The degree of cooperation of the public that
can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of
the use of physical force.”
PRINCIPLE 5 “Police seek and preserve public favor not by
catering to the public opinion but by constantly demonstrating
absolute impartial service to the law.”
PRINCIPLE 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.”
• PRINCIPLE 7 “Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the
public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public
and 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.”

• PRINCIPLE 8 “Police should always direct their action strictly towards their
functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary.”

• PRINCIPLE 9 “The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and

disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.”
Three Core Ideas
1. The goal is preventing crime, not catching
criminals. If the police stop crime before it
happens, we don’t have to punish citizens or
suppress their rights. An effective police
department doesn’t have high arrest stats; its
community has low crime rates.
2. The key to preventing crime is earning
public support. Every community member
must share the responsibility of preventing
crime, as if they were all volunteer members
of the force. They will only accept this
responsibility if the community supports and
trusts the police.
3. The police earn public support by
respecting community principles. Winning
public approval requires hard work to build
reputation: enforcing the laws impartially,
hiring officers who represent and understand
the community, and using force only as a last
resort
