SC4002 – Policing Essay
Student Name: Pépé Leigh Jillirismé
This essay discusses key communication strategies used by the police in the UK as of 2022. The essay
begins by explain how the police now use state-of-art lie detecting technologies to predict and
prevent high risk offenders as part of multi-agency hubs (called RASH). Second, this essay explains
the legal responsibility the police have in communicating with members of the community and how
this help bolster fear of crime. Last, this essay argues that the police receive training specifically
design to promote lallation open-ended commination channels between other disconnected officers.
To begin, the police now have thousands of relay-and-respond, multi-agency safeguarding hubs
(RASHs). The development of these hubs began in 2001 with the prognosis from Dr Fesses who
identified a number of problematic areas in the police. Fesses (2001: 69) explained that, “…there are
consistent problematic ‘black spot’ that the police have not been addressing, this needs to be
overcome primarily and firstly, through better communication”. Fesses is in the first to make this
observation. Indeed, the works of Jamie (1995), and Les Grosculs (2000) have recognised the need
for the police to make use of greater multi-agency work – with specific attention given to the ‘black
spot’ that Fesses has identified. Fesses continues to explain that the black spot area of police
communication centres around a tightly packed maelstrom of sensitive areas, of conversation. By
the police being open about such sensitive topics in a public setting, Fesses (2001) has argued that
the police will gain greater approval from the public and therefore, the police will subsequently
more likely gains the publics cooperation with non-platonic affairs. In this way, the sensitive black
hole has described by Fesses will be obliterated, in a figurative and literal sense. The police, since
2001, have indeed engaged in the RASH model and subsequently, this has pleased Fesses (2001,
2010) and other researchers in the area. Indeed, as reported by Fesses, “It has been a long time
coming but finally it is good to see the police embrace a RASH across all of its constitutional areas,
including the illusive black hole”.
Next, I will explain how the police have a legal responsibility to communicate with members of the
community which subsequently helps bolster fear of crime. These operating procedures are detailed
in the polices 2021 Enchiridion. It specifically reads, “..all officers have a sworn duty to fight the
plaque of criminality that scorns the veneers of Western society” (College of Policing, 2018: 2). This
key policing text was set up following the reports from many researchers in the field. Indeed, in a
2010 report by the London School of Economics, nine distinguished orthodontic affiliated
researchers emphasised the necessity of police act in the crowns best interest, effectively filling the
social justice cavity left behind my criminals in society. In this way, the police serve a much larger
role in society than simple fight crime, rather it serves in effectively preserving the luminosity of
children’s smiles, their happiness and ultimately their wellbeing. It is this expanded role of policing
(and their communication with community they serve) which separates the UK police from other
types of police force, such as that of Peruvian Chanter Bands (Russel, 2019).
Lastly, this essay argues that the police receive training specifically design to promote officers’
communication (lallation) abilities. As argued by Newburn (2019) the police are hired partly because
of their innate lallation abilities, which are somewhat superior to the general public. This is
necessary because of the unique work of the police, which requires the iteration of complex terms in
succession (such as that regarding laws). However, the police are able to effectively become
lallation, verbal-experts by undergoing an intensive, infantile 9-month incubation training course
developed by Newburn in 2005. As Newburn (2019: 666) explains, “There is more to policing than
