Autism Safety 101 Inc’s Post

I was recently asked "what does a police officer do?" - as my employer is the third largest law enforcement agency in the nation. NYPD #1. US Border Patrol #2. My answer: In addition to help deliver rehabilitation & education programs... As sworn peace officers for the State of California. We took an oath - to Preserve the Sanctity of Life. Both incarcerated individuals and staff alike. Although we perform our duties with a minimal reliance on the use of force.... Instead, focusing on respectful communication & de-escalation. For the SAFETY of everyone around. We sometimes use force that is reasonable and necessary to quell violence WHEN it arises. We prefer not to, though - as injuries sometime occur to one - or both parties. When an incarcerated individual is unfortunately injured regardless of circumstances... We immediately assist in delivering medical support to insure the health of these individuals. #Safety #Professionalism #Law #Rehabilitation #Medical #Communication #Policing #Fairness #Humanity #Respect

🔔Live Update from the AviaTor Forum in Brussels! How will the upcoming changes in EU regulation affect the work of law enforcement agencies across Europe? Emerick Lovasz from the European Commission (EC) outlined some of the short and long-term EC initiatives aimed at preventing and tackling child sexual abuse and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). He provided a high-level overview of the objectives and expected impact of the E-Privacy Directive, the CSAM Regulation (including the future EU Centre), and the Recast of the 2011 CSAM Directive. Emerick stressed the importance of events like the AviaTor Forum in bringing together the private and public sector to collaborate, and inform these types of initiatives to develop whole-society approaches. #childprotection #aviator #lawenforcement #endCSAM #NCMEC #aricaproject #europeancommission #EC #europeancommission #EuropeanUnion

In different countries, there is extreme heterogeneity between police systems in terms of the number and types of forces, their links with the political authorities and the territorial organisation of control centres, their monitoring mechanisms, the status of officers and their behaviour. This heterogeneity is observed despite the apparent similarity between the different functions assigned to police forces, such as law enforcement, crowd control, peacekeeping and border protection, among others. Comparative policing is a new frontier for police studies. Comparing Police Organizations, new book published by Routledge in 2024 (Sebastian Roche and Jenny Fleming) based on Volume 1 of Comparative Policing Review.

The recent disorder and political violence across the UK has seen increased levels of fear among many migrant communities, as well as reduced access to services and support networks; Liverpool John Moores University Policing Lecturer James Williams believes that policing has an important role to play in reassuring those communities, as well as building relationships and improving engagement with marginalised groups. ❝The police need to focus on building relationships with migrant communities and attempt to instil more trust within marginalised communities, so that these groups have the confidence to access support services within their community.❞ ❝In the wake of the disorder, around 40 asylum centres across the country closed their doors after receiving threats of far-right violence and messages that were shared on social media platforms like Telegram.❞ ❝Migrant communities need to feel as though they can continue with their everyday routines without fear, and it is important that the police demonstrate this community support through their neighbourhood work.❞ https://lnkd.in/eHiKsujT #lawenforcement #policing #police #communitypolicing

How to Start and Sustain a Rehabilitation Program? How do we restore a human being who has left the mainstream and deviated to the extreme? Successful rehabilitation of radicalised and terrorist offenders requires a multi-agency cooperation. From several specialised fields, including specific professions, relevant institutions should work together. Furthermore, from the offender’s social environment (colleagues, friends, family, etc.) can play a vital role. They can be broadly categorized into 3 groups: 1.          ADVISORY 2.          INSTITUTIONS 3.          SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT Professions include the services of P/CVE Specialists, Social Workers, Psychological Services & Religious Counselling form an advisory body. Institutions include the services and specialities of the Judicial System, Prison Services, Probation Services, Municipalities, Law enforcement agencies, Intelligence agencies and Civil Society Organisations. The social environment includes the Community, Community Leaders, Colleagues, Friends and Family. It’s imperative that we understand the importance of the cooperation required between these different groups. Appropriate information-sharing and collaboration are needed to establish an uninterrupted, multifaceted rehabilitation process that starts with an arrest and ideally ends in full and stable integration into society. #rehabilitation #deradicalization #terrorism #securitystudies

Unlawful profiling by police and border guards harms community relationships and undermines public trust. Marginalised communities who feel unfairly singled out may stop reporting crimes or cooperating with authorities, creating a damaging cycle of suspicion and disengagement. This European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights guide explains: ➡ what profiling is, ➡ the legal frameworks that regulate it, ➡ and why conducting profiling lawfully is both necessary to comply with fundamental rights and crucial for effective policing and border management. The guide also provides practical guidance on how to avoid unlawful profiling in police and border management operations. 💡 Collecting reliable, accurate and timely #data is crucial for ensuring accountability. 💡 Effective #complaint mechanisms can both deter abuses of power and help to secure and restore public trust in the operations of the police and border management authorities. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e4qzdwKS

J.J. Carrell, ex-Border Patrol, discusses the surge in U.S. human trafficking, focusing on child sex trafficking. He shares border experiences, cites missing children stats, and notes societal normalization of child exploitation. Carrell calls for urgent action against these crimes, including organ harvesting, implicating government complicity. He urges public awareness and action to fight child trafficking. #ChildTrafficking #Government #Accountability

Health protections for migrant children in federal border custody, which require agents to provide access to basics like showers and blankets and forbid the separation of children from their parents for extended periods, are set to expire in January. Independent monitors - assigned to visit detention facilities as part of a 2022 legal settlement - have found that border officials struggle to meet the health and safety standards set in the agreement. Child advocates like Children’s Rights attorney Leecia Welch worry that without continued oversight, conditions for children in federal custody will worsen.
