Abstract

This study's purpose was to identify the differences between two law enforcement agencies: Crawford County and the Girard Police Department. To do this I performed two ride-along and conducted interviews during those rides. After conducting my interviews and research, I then focused on analysis, and looking at how these differences affect the deputies and officers employed by the agency. I have also included research conducted from the last year. A small survey from students at Pittsburg State University and were asked how they felt towards their hometown law enforcement agencies. The purpose of this study was to find differences and similarities between the law enforcement agencies, considering their sizing, funding, and population they serve. The sampling was small and does not represent all law enforcement agencies within Kansas, Southeast Kansas, Crawford County, or the City of Girard. However, this research can be used to compare the two agencies and can help guide those interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement.
