Solutions

For my proposal paper I need to come up with three solutions to the issue of police brutality. First and foremost I think the most important way to fix this problem would be to incorporate psychologists and psychiatrists into every lay enforcement facility. This would help preform psychological tests on prospective police officers to prevent unstable officers joining the force. Also while on the job the officers become very stressed out, and having these psychologists on hand gives for a great way for the officers to vent about their stressors and this will help their excessive, brutal outbursts. By having psychologists become part of the hiring process, they might weed out too many prospective employees, however. Second, proper training will be very important in the prevention of police brutality. When the officers are completely and thoroughly trained the possibility of a brutal attack lessens dramatically. This could become problematic for the training might be too vigorous and thorough for every officer to pass therefore denying their acceptance into the academy. My last proposal would to just simply monitor theses acts more closely and also to take them more seriously. This could change the percentage of these corrupt police drastically by just making a conscious effort to punish the policemen who take part in them. When seen on the police tape it will be pertinent to punish the officer instead of just brushing it under the carpet. People might see this as not being helpful because there isn't much of an effort of this going on currently so why would it change now. I believe if these steps are taken to make a difference in the policing system then the incidents of police brutality will decrease significantly.
