America has a rich police history. There have been a lot of impacts in the American policing system through the years. The criminal justice system has different agencies that cover federal and state. The relationship between federal and state can affect police practices. Sir Robert Peel: Sir Robert Peel drafted Peelian principles which helped introduce modern policy. In 1829 Sir Robert Peel was able to establish a police force with ethical values included. This police force was named the Metropolitan Police Force. It was established to reduce crimes in London and to enforce the law. This idea of policing was a great success and became enforce though out the United Kingdom. There were a lot of issues in the United Kingdom and the United States with law enforcement. Sir Robert Peel stated there are nine elements to policing. These nine elements are still used today in the United Kingdom and the United States. The first principle is the basic reason police exist to prevent disorder and crime. The second principle is the police are able to perform their daily jobs is dependent of the public approval of police actions. The third principle is to secure public cooperation in observance of the laws, to maintain the respect of the public. The forth principle is the degree of public cooperation that can secured, will reduce consistently with the use of physical force. The fifth principle is the police preserve and seek the public support, by remaining impartial to the law. The sixth principle is the police need to use physical force only if necessary, to make sure the law is observe. This can only be used when advise, persuasion and warning is not enough. The seventh principle is that police need to maintain a relationship with the public, and become one entity (Nazemi, N.D.. The eighth principle is that police should direct their actions to work and not appear usurp. The ninth principle is to test the efficiency of the police, which would be the no crime or disorder. U.S. Government and Organizations: There was a large and noticeable separation between the National Intelligence, military and national security. These three agencies were founded to protect. They had very little communications and they lack a connection to each other. The national intelligence is design to protect against serious world political and economic danger to the nation. The military intelligence specializes in any danger that affects national security. The national intelligence focuses on criminals that endanger individuals and the local community  ("Information Sharing: Exploring The Intersection Of Policing With National And Military Intelligence", 2010). Since September 11th terrorism is a more visual aspect in the United States. These groups are living in the U.S. and may be committing small crimes to finance their organization. This means that local police departments may have intelligence of significant interest to the other two organizations. Conclusion: Sir Robert Peel designed the foundation of policing, which allows us to feel safe in our country. There will always be the need for advances in the structure of this foundation. We must communicate better within the organization. These three organizations should enforce and implement better communication skills. This will allow intelligence to be shared within them and allow a better chance to fight crime.
