The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder.

There is no way police can prevent crime and disorder. You would have to have 3 cops for every person. Each would work a shift preventing a single citizen from comitting a crime.

What cops do is catch people who committ crimes and create disorder.

How can a cop prevent disorder. He can only catch people who have created disorder after they have created disorder.

I didn't read the rest of this bull Crap, but the only roll cops can play is catch people after they do the crime.

ONLY IN A POLICE STATE CAN COPS PREVENT CRIME. That is why they call it a POLICE STATE

The Peelian Model of policing is already outdated my friend. It is already being replaced at rapid rates by community policing. Sir Robert Peele was around in the early 1800's and his rigid bureaucratic sytle of policing has caused many modern police departments to be criticized for being ineffective.

Sir Robert Peele was responsible for extensive reforms in London, England, in 1829. He decided that the police should be set up like the Military and he based his police forces from that of the Prussian Army and the Catholic Church. Sounds crazy, but it's true. It didn't work too well. Since then the police system in America has gone through several different policing stages. Since then, we have had the Urban, Professional, and now Community Oriented policing models.

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.

This is no longer the case. Instead, the police are a separate caste of people, who may own unregistered machine guns, explosive devices, and other paramilitary assault equipment, that is banned from the general public, and the police are held to a greatly different standard of responsibility and accountability with respect to what happens when someone is killed or injured. In particular, when the police kill a citizen, the sanction is time off with pay, but when a citizen kills a police officer, the sanction is the death penalty. In some jurisdictions, the SOP for police is to kill dogs at the slightest provocation, whereas the penalty for killing a police dog is death.
