"POLICING" IN RESPONSE TO CITIZEN'S
"CALLING THE COPS"
American city dweller's (житель) repertoire of methods for handling
problems includes (включать) such as "calling the cops". We are going to review the way of policing, i.e. performing by the police their everyday mundane duties, in response (ответ) to citizen's calls for police service for a certain (определенный) past period of time.
Patrol cars, manned by two officers and assigned (назначать) to each of five precincts operated within the city. The officers met in the precinct station for roll call. (Roll call is an informal affair which takes place regularly every morning in each precinct). The presiding officer advised the patrolmen of crimes which occurred (случаться, происходить) in the precinct during the past 24 hours and of any possible unusual demands (запрос) for police service expected (ожидать) during the coming shift. In addition, the patrolmen got a fresh list of unrecovered stolen cars. Roll call usually took from ten to twenty minutes.
151
Most patrolmen operated on three shifts - midnight to 8:00 a.m., 8:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to midnight. Additional patrolmen, however, were on the street in the evening hours
when the demand for police service peaked.
These patrolmen started their shift at 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. Phone calls from citizens for police service reached the dispatcher in two ways, either by direct call to the police emergency (срочный вызов) number in the radio room or by referral (справка) from a precinct desk officer who received a citizen's call. The dispatcher dispatched the squad car responsible for the district in which the problem existed. If the district squad car was busy on another call, the dispatcher, depending on the urgency (срочность) of the call might send some other car to handle the call. A typical call by the dispatcher with responses from the squad car was:
Dispatcher: "555"
Squad car 555: "555".
Dispatcher: "Car 555 go to 34 - 1st Avenue, domestic".
Squad car 555: "34 - 1st Avenue, domestic".
The material that follows describes some of the calls and other matters handled by squad car 555 during its 8-hour shift.
12:33. 29 - Bryant, sick person. We learned from the woman at the door about her husband having serious ulcer (язва) difficulty. We called an ambulance, but did not wait for its arrival.
12:43. As we were passing a house, we heard a very loud party. We warned (предупреждать) the participants to reduce (понижать) the volume (сила звука).
12:50.30 - Finley. DK at the door. When we arrived, no drunk was there.
1:14.32nd and 1st, DK in the street. When we arrived, the drunk moved away.
1:30. Magoo's Bar, take a stolen (stolen auto report). When we arrived no one was there from whom to take a stolen auto report.
1:49. We provided transportation of a traffic offender to jail.
5:10. As we were returning to the precinct station, we saw a car running a red light. We stopped it, asked the driver to show his driver's licence. The driver had no driver's licence in his possession. We radioed to see if he had a driver's licence. They gave a negative answer. We allowed the driver to go with the officer to his home and obtain his licence. We, however, gave a tag (уведомление о штрафе) to a car for running a red light.
In addition to these regular precinct shifts, there was a tactical squad of about fifteen cars that was on the streets each evening except Sunday to handle the problems of "peace-keeping" activities of the police.
Those are only some of the non-law enforcement encounters the police dealt with during their routine policing in response to citizen's "calling the cops".
Thus the workload of the average patrol officer’s day was six-seven radio­dispatched encounters. An extremely busy weekend night could involve 20
152
dispatches to a single car. In 77 percent of the felony situations and in 51 percent of the misdemeanour situations no suspect was available when the police arrived at the scene, and the only citizen participant was a complainant or an informant or bystander. So the incidents rarely resulted in arrest and the typical official outcome was a crime report, the basic document for official crime statistics and further investigation by the detective division.

TRAFFIC CRIME PREVENTION IN THE USA
In the previous texts you have read about the two very important
aspects of crime prevention in general - crime prevention by effective
law enforcement and crime prevention as a moral and social problem.
The moral and social aspect of traffic crime prevention is traffic safety education of drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and especially children in safe walking, riding (ехать верхом), and driving. Traffic violators should be a special aim of public education in traffic
safety.
Police traffic control function is nowadays the responsibility of the Department of Motor Vehicles, the patrol police services and specialized traffic law enforcement and accident investigation squads.
The Department of Motor Vehicles can play a major role in preventing accidents by not allowing unqualified drivers to get a licence. It can refuse (отказывать) to issue licence to an individual who has failed to pass a written test, or driving-skill test, or both. Under certain conditions a driver may also have his driving privileges (licences) suspended. Not infrequently it punished
such drivers and imposed stiff fines on them. Patrolmen and traffic officers spend a portion of their work shifts stopping traffic violators. The great majority of patrol and traffic officers throughout the country
prefer to warn an offender than to issue a citation (повестка в суд). The officer shortly releases those drivers who have committed minor traffic offences which call for oral or written warnings. If the drivers have committed violations of the traffic code serious enough to deserve (заслуживать) a citation the officer observing the violation has to issue a citation. (A logical method of removing bad­risk drivers from the roadway is a point system (система штрафных баллов)). For each moving violation a traffic officer makes points (отмечать штрафные баллы) in the driver's record. In traffic law enforcement the police have a number of alcoholic countermeasures to control alcohol-related vehicle accidents. Evidence has clearly indicated (означать, указывать) that drinking drivers have been responsible for half of all accidents and the probability of accident increases as (1) blood alcohol concentration (ВАС) increases and (2) the driving time becomes longer between the place where the driver had consumed the alcohol and the destination (место назначения).
Police patrols identify, record and analyze alcohol-related crashes (авария, столкновение) and watch for persons driving while intoxicated (DWI) during certain hours and on specific days. Besides the traffic law enforcement often revealed a percentage (обнаруживать процент) of
drivers wanted for more serious crime, (e.g. if the violating driver has flown from the scene of traffic crime), especially in case of hit-and-run or auto-thefts. As "US News and World Report" reads, one car thief has boasted (хвастать (ся) ) that no American-made car is theftproof: he will have stolen most models by the end of a minute and a half. Law enforcement authorities have estimated that car thieves
155
dismantle (разбирать) and sell for spare parts 40 per cent of the stolen cars. In other cases car thieves change identification numbers of stolen cars, obtain new ownership documents and then sell the vehicles to unsuspecting buyers. Authorities report that organized crime, attracted by high profits, has recently (недавно) grown into multistate auto-theft rings (шайка, банда). It's necessary to add that some of so-called routine stops of traffic violators have developed into armed assaults (нападение) on the police officers making the stops. Thus there is a close relationship (взаимосвязь) between traffic law enforcement and crime control.

MODERN SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
Новые слова: reliance – доверие, опора, надежда; rescue – спасение, спасательный; спасать; breed – порода; keen – тонкий, острый (слух и т.п.); fugitive – беглец; emit – испускать, издавать; tagging and tracking – зд. блокировка и слежение с помощью “радиомаячков”; target – цель; bug – подслушивать с помощью микрофонов; wiretap – подслушивать телефонные переговоры.
A number of surveillance techniques are used by police, but their chief reliance is almost universally placed on patrolling.
Patrol systems. Patrols vary in methodology, assignments, structure and mobility.
Their flexibility has been significantly increased by
improved methods of communication, especially the two-way
radio, and by the availability of numerous types of vehicles such
as the automobile, the motorcycle, and the bicycle.
Helicopters are used primarily for rescue work and special tactical situations requiring surprise or high mobility. In some countries short take-off and landing
aircraft have been adopted for patrol and rescue work.
Police dogs. The training of dogs for police work was originally developed in Ghent, Belg., about 1900 and was soon copied elsewhere. Certain breeds with especially keen senses are used for special purposes such as detecting drugs or for tracking fugitives and missing persons and for regular patrol work.
Electrical protection systems. With the help of electrical protection (alarm) systems burglaries are substantially reduced and the capture of
many criminals is realized. Central-station systems and local-alarm systems are the two basically used categories of burglar-alarm systems. Armed guards are on duty at all times and are dispatched to conduct immediate investigations of unauthorized entry of protected property.
157
Technical surveillance. The capabilities of law-enforcement agencies have been greatly expanded with the application of so-called technical surveillance: 1. Audial surveillance, 2. Optical surveillance and 3. Tagging and tracking.
Audial surveillance. For audial surveillance or “bugging“ and “wiretapping“ miniature microphones and radio transmitters, a variety of radio-receiving and voice-recording equipment are used.
Optical surveillance. In optical surveillance such devices as
binoculars and telescopes; cameras with long-focal-length, or
telephoto, lenses; close-circuit television; and video tape recorders are used by police and by private security systems. Low-light-level devices, night­vision telescopes are greatly used for passive optical surveillance in virtual darkness.
Tagging and tracking. In object tagging and signal tracking
operations devices emitting a unique signal are attached to vehicles or
implanted in targeted objects. Receiving or activating equipment is used to track the tagged objects. A typical device is a miniature radio transmitter commonly known as a “bumper beeper“ which is secretly attached to the vehicle. The target is tracked with surveillance vehicles equipped with appropriate receiving equipment.
