CJUS 550 WEEK 3 DISCUSSION

Discussion Board Forum 2

The mission of policing was described by the author as covering six key areas: (1) enforcing the law, (2) apprehending offenders, (3) preventing crime, (4) predicting crime, (5) preserving the peace, and (6) providing services. With the advent of various forms of terrorism and transnational crime, the police mission has expanded beyond the traditional borders of tangible burglaries and domestic disputes. 

Beginning with the material conveyed in the assigned reading and presentation, select two scholarly articles from the university criminal justice databases, and integrate those resources to discuss the use of intelligence-led policing (ILP) and its application through the development of fusion centers to equip law enforcement for their expanded mission. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint on ILP and the development of fusion centers.
