The police have a duty to maintain law and order in or for an area or event. For many years the idea of ​​policing has been misunderstood. People think of the police as what they see in show business. For example, in today's media they are shown as; COPS, America's Most Wanted, CSI, Law & Order and Criminal Minds, police officers are shown as the all-powerful crime fighters. Well, I actually had the hands-on experience to go on a tour with the Fulton County Police Department. My travel experience was exciting, intense, shocking and challenging. I signed up for the 3pm to 10pm shift, I'm lucky and grateful to be doing the full shift. On November 12, 2014, I was scheduled to be at the Fulton County precinct at 2:30 pm that afternoon. My trip was to a very bad high crime neighborhood called the bluff which also combined with Simpson Rd. The neighborhood is drug infested. I was shocked to see that it was only a couple blocks from the Atlanta Falcon stadium and next to a couple of black people from an elementary school. We discuss the broken window theory in class and I actually saw the results of it on my trip. In the bluff neighborhood there are many abandoned houses and unwanted cars in the neighborhood. I asked Officer Martin why no one was moving those cars and demolishing these houses. He told me, “most of these houses are government-owned and the cars are stolen cars that people stole for drugs. He told me that sooner or later they will be moved. As we drove through the high-crime neighborhood, I notice that Officer Martin was using Proactive Active Beat. Proactive pacing is when an officer passes through the neighborhood two to three times more than usual (Hinkle 2014). We drove two of the same roads at least 6 times that day. He explained to me that they do it to keep themselves aloft and it was considered a hot spot. I noticed that despite it being a hot area, crime still occurred in the area, but not on the streets we were patrolling. I ask him why we only patrolled English Avenue and Vine City. He told me that five or six people have overdosed on those streets and that those streets are where most of the crime happens. “Most crimes happen on these streets because they think people aren't looking,” Officer Martin said. Even though the neighbor was a high crime area, I had no sense as I rode that his patrolling would help reduce the crime rate in that area.
