Abstract

A) Key Area facing law enforcement in US

There are basically three types of law enforcement agencies, local, state, and federal. Local law enforcement agencies include police and sheriff departments. State agencies include the state or highway patrol. Federal agencies include the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service.

Issues Facing Law Enforcement in US

• Funding for Officer Safety Gear.
• Police User of Crime-stopping and Deterrent Technologies.
• Electing Strong Judges and Criminal Justice Officials.
• Combating the American Drug Epidemic.
• Fixing America's Police Shortage.

B) Law Enforcement relationship with Native Ameriacan Culture

Native Americans,which all have unique systems of criminal justice, to include corrections, adjudication and enforcement functions.

Through the history of Native American contact with dominant White governments, unique systems of articulation have developed between the two sides.

Because of the often chaotic nature of the contact between the two systems as they met along the fluid frontier through time, the policies and practices that evolved to govern the relationship of one to the other were often developed piecemeal, and tended to be crude and unsophisticated

1.The early colonies had a volunteer system of law enforcement, in the watches and the constables, and certainly the use of Indian constables in seventeenth century New York is a like situation.

2.Along with the gradual professionalism in the U.S. in the nineteenth century, Federal marshals gradually assume the duties of the tribal police.

3. In nineteenth century, the constant pressure to remove whisky from the Indians, is another form of repressive control.

4. The trend is similar to that practiced, at the same time, by the temperance moralists in the big cities of the Eastern United States, in which the campaign was for political control of European minority immigrants.

5. There is rise of clear racism in the relationship between the dominant culture, and the systems of justice of the Native Americans.

In Conclusion,   Moving forward in the 21st century, it is hoped that more of the elegant and principled Native systems of justice are called upon to model the form and direction that criminal justice policy will take.
