preview

NEW!168sharesMore than 190 years ago, Sir Robert Peel and his command staff penned nine guiding principles for London's first modern police force. They've become known as "Peel's principles" and are still widely studied and referenced in police literature today. Though the principles were written in different times, we wondered, do people think they still apply today?Click through the principles in the slideshow and let us know what you think.As for Peel, he went on to found England's Conservative Party and twice serve as Prime Minister, as well.Rachel Dissell, The Plain DealerDon't EditAndrea Levy, The Plain DealerPrevent crime without repressionThe basic mission for which police exist is to prevent crime and disorder as an alternative to the repression of crime and disorder by military force and severity of legal punishment.Don't EditAndrea Levy, The Plain DeaerPolice need the public's respectThe ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police existence, actions, behavior and the ability of the police to secure and maintain public respect.Don't EditundefinedAndrea Levy, The Plain DealerThe public has to want to cooperateThe police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain public respect.Don't EditAndrea Levy, The Plain DealerMore force, less cooperationThe degree of cooperation of the public that can be secured diminishes, proportionately, to the necessity for the use of physical force and compulsion in achieving police objectives.Don't EditDon't EditAndrea Levy, The Plain DealerFairness, friendship and impartiality for allThe police seek and preserve public favor, not by catering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to the 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 society without regard to their race or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humor; and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.Don't EditAndrea Levy, The Plain DealerPersuasion, advice and warning before forceThe police should 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 to achieve police objectives; and police should use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective.Don't EditAndrea Levy, The Plain DealerPolice are the public, the public are policeThe 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 are the only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the intent of the community welfare.Don't EditAndrea Levy, The Plain DealerNot to judge or punishThe police should always direct their actions toward their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary by avenging individuals or the state, or authoritatively judging guilt or punishing the guilty.Don't EditAndrea Levy, The Plain DealerAbsence of crime, not visible presenceThe test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.Don't EditDon't EditRegistration on or use of this site constitutes acceptance of our , , and (User Agreement updated 1/1/21.
