Legalization may also lead to additional responsibilities, including policing homegrown cannabis and licensed businesses involved in cultivating, processing, and selling the drug. Documenting the experience of law enforcement officers in states that have already transitioned to a legal market may provide important insights into the implementation of cannabis policies in other jurisdictions. The present study surveyed 301 law enforcement officers in Oregon three years after the state legalized recreational marijuana. Results indicate that officers perceive increases in many marijuana-related problems following legalization and most officers report that the state’s revised statutes are confusing and difficult to enforce. Implications for public policy are discussed. Police Quarterly 24/12/2022 Research article Statement from Assistant Commissioner Brian Edwards – effective policing in Surrey CANADA: The Surrey Police Service (SPS) recently issued a public report they submitted to the province regarding their readiness to become the Police of Jurisdiction. Their report makes sweeping and broad generalizations about the RCMP, dedicating a significant portion of their narrative seeking to discredit the RCMP, and questioning the RCMP’s ability to deliver effective policing in Surrey. It is truly unfortunate the transition has gotten to a point where SPS continually resorts to fear mongering and I need to respond. However, it is my obligation to ensure residents of Surrey know that Surrey RCMP has and will continue to provide effective policing in this city. Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) 24/12/2022 Feature, Opinion A New Breed of Robot Dog Enters The Debate Over Policing Technology USA: Spot will cost the LAPD just under $300,000. Manufactured by Boston Dynamics, the four-legged robot dog has sparked controversy as city police departments consider its adoption. Police robots drew national attention in 2016, when one was used to kill a gunman who fatally shot five police officers. In 2021, New York’s “Digidog” was terminated after critics called it a “creepy” and “alienating” policing tactic. Earlier this month, San Francisco voted 8-3 to prohibit the use of deadly robots after public backlash to an original vote that would have allowed them. KPCC 89.3FM (USA) 24/12/2022 Feature On the streets with London’s sexual harassment police David Woode joins a Met Police unit created with the aim of protecting women on nights out The Times - Subscription at source 24/12/2022 Feature CC Lucy D’Orsi: Flexible working in British Transport Earlier this month the Government announced their commitment to introduce legislation that will make flexible working more accessible by supporting The Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Bill. The Bill will introduce measures that will allow people to have a greater say over when, where, and how they work. I welcome the introduction of this legislation. But I don’t think we need to wait for it to become law to give our people choice in how we best protect the public. I know some don’t consider flexible working and policing a good match. Historically, police leaders have felt the operational demand and requirement to provide a 24/7 service to the public to be prohibitive to flexible working. I do not share this view. Actually, I wonder if the 24/7 nature of policing, in fact, brings greater opportunity. Does it not force us to think outside of the box to get better coverage, draw in broader experience whilst reducing burn-out?

NZ Herald (New Zealand) 23/12/2022 Feature Police officers as filmmakers: the cinematography of body worn cameras The impact of body worn cameras on policing will depend on multiple factors such as effective training, and high-quality technological design. Among these factors, we argue, are police officer’s understanding and operation of body worn cameras. Operation involves user decisions about when to activate a body worn camera and where to direct its lens. With that in mind, we propose that police officers, especially when ineffectively regulated by policy, can be theoretically understood as filmmakers who determine the footage body worn cameras produce and the stories the technology can tell. In support of our reconceptualization of police officers as filmmakers, we highlight two cinematographic decisions officers make as part of routine police work: the cutting decision and the camera-angle decision.
