ovides young adults who may be interested in a career in law enforcement wi=
th a comprehensive program of training and mentorship. Program advisors wil=
l work to develop explorers in 3 main focuses:</div><div></div><div></div><=
div>The Police Officer is responsible to perform law enforcement and crime =
prevention work; to control traffic flow and enforce State and local munici=
pal codes, violations, and traffic regulations; to perform investigative wo=
rk; to participate in and provide support and assistance to special crime p=
revention and enforcement programs; and to perform a variety of technical a=
nd administrative tasks in support of the department.</div><div></div><div>=
</div><div>The UNCG Police Department K-9 Unit was established in 2007. All=
 of the K-9 teams have completed extensive training and certification progr=
ams, train on a weekly schedule, and also assist and train with other local=
 law enforcement agencies. A police K-9 is an extremely valuable tool in la=
w enforcement. The use of a strategically deployed K-9 team can save hours =
of time for police officers because a K-9 team can conduct a search quickly=
 and effectively, resulting in increased officer safety, the apprehension o=
f dangerous suspects, and increased safety to citizens. In addition to thei=
r regular duties, the K-9 teams also spend a great deal of time training to=
 maintain a maximum level of efficiency as a team.</div><div></div><div></d=
iv><div>The Houston Police Department revived the combination of horse and =
police officer with the reestablishment of the Mounted Patrol in October 19=
84. Funds for the new mounted unit were originally provided through a grant=
 from the Downtown Central Business District during the tenure of Mayor Kat=
hy Whitmire and Chief of Police Lee P. Brown. The original mounted facility=
 was located at 300 North Post Oak Lane, but in April of 2009 the mounted u=
nit moved to its new facility located at 5005 Little York Road.</div><div><=
/div><div></div><div></div><div>Today, Mounted Patrol is part of Strategic =
Operations, Homeland Security Command, Special Operations Division. The dow=
ntown business district and Hermann Park are the primary focus of Mounted P=
atrol. But, periodically, the mounted unit is given assignments to work wit=
h patrol divisions who are having a particular crime issue in a specific ne=
ighborhood. The unit has established itself as an undeniable asset to the H=
ouston Police Department and the community we serve. The unit is an invalua=
ble tool in crowd control and public relations as well as the enforcement o=
f city ordinances and state law. All supervisors, police officers, and hors=
es work together to provide the community effective, quality service. Due t=
o the increased height on a horse the mounted officer is able to survey a l=
arge area quickly and address problem situations effectively. The officer a=
nd his mount are also a crime deterrent due to their increased visibility t=
o the public. A mounted officer, on horseback, is able to transverse geogra=
phical areas in which it would be difficult for police officers in cars, on=
 bicycles or on foot to proceed. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><di=
v>One mounted patrol officer and his/her horse has been compared to the eff=
ectiveness of 10 to 12 police officers on the ground in crowd control situa=
tions. Our unit has provided crowd control in many diverse situations. Some=
 of the events include, the 1992 Republican Convention at the Astrodome; th=
e 1994 and 1995 Houston Rocket NBA Championship Parades in downtown Houston=
; numerous Galveston Mardi Gras Parades; the 2004 MLB All-Star Baseball Gam=
e and the 2005 and 2017 World Series, both at Minute Maid Park; 2016 Final =
Four; Super Bowl XXXVIII and XVII and preceding parties in downtown Houston=
, along with after Super Bowl events. The mounted unit was an integral fact=
or in the success of these huge events and will continue to be a much neede=
d asset as more large special events are scheduled in the City of Houston. =
</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Although a mounted officer on h=
orseback may be intimidating while in crowd control situations the general =
public sees him/her as very approachable. Citizens who wish to see and touc=
h the police horse will stop the mounted officer many times during his/her =
tour of duty. Also, members of the mounted unit are requested almost on a d=
aily basis to provide demonstrations for schools, civic clubs, and other co=
mmunity based programs. At these programs the mounted officer will explain =
the duties of the mounted officer on horseback as well as demonstrate the e=
ffectiveness of the horse in a law enforcement capacity. </div><div></div><=
div></div><div></div><div>Mounted patrol officers are available to perform =
demonstrations. The demo may be scheduled at the facility or at a location =
of your choice. Away demos are somewhat limited due to distance, but as a r=
ule, we will travel anywhere in the city limits of Houston, Harris County o=
r an adjacent county. You may call the facility at 832-394-0399 to receive =
further information on how to schedule a demo.</div><div></div><div></div><=

 killed by a police officer in front more than 30 people Tuesday evening du=
ring a live gun demonstration at police headquarters here, the department s=
aid.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div=
><div>Mary Knowlton was one of two Citizen Police Academy students chosen t=
o participate in a "shoot/don't shoot" role-playing situation, reports CBS =
Fort Myers, Florida affiliate WINK-TV, citing Punta Gorda police. The demon=
stration was meant to instruct the class on making decisions "using simulat=
ed lethal force," according to Chief Thomas Lewis.</div><div></div><div></d=
iv><div>"Our entire police department and all of our city leaders are absol=
utely devastated for everyone involved in this unimaginable event," he said=
 in a news conference Tuesday night. "I am asking that if you pray, you pra=
y for Mary's husband and family and for all the officers and witnesses that=
 involved this incident. Everyone involved is in an overwhelming state of s=
hock and grief."</div><div></div><div></div><div>Punta Gorda police didn't =
immediately identify the officer involved, but said he or she has been plac=
ed on administrative leave. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has b=
een asked to conduct an investigation into the incident, which is common in=
 officer-involved shootings.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In countless o=
ther cases, police are quick to use force in response to protests or demons=
trations. Throughout 2019 and 2020, Hong Kong police have repeatedly deploy=
ed weapons like tear gas and rubber bullets in an unlawful way against prot=
esters.</div><div></div><div></div><div>At its worst, unlawful use of force=
 by police can result in people being deprived of their right to life. If p=
olice force is unnecessary or excessive, it may also amount to torture or o=
ther ill-treatment.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Under international law=
, police officers should only ever use lethal force as a last resort. This =
means when such force is strictly necessary to protect themselves or others=
 from the imminent threat of death or serious injury, and only when other o=
ptions for de-escalation are insufficient.</div><div></div><div></div><div>=
In countries with high rates of killings by police, there is often a combin=
ation of factors including inadequate laws, racial or other forms of discri=
mination, insecurity or conflict, and entrenched impunity.</div><div></div>=
<div></div><div>International human rights law strictly prohibits all forms=
 of discrimination. No one should be treated differently by law enforcement=
 because of their race, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity, reli=
gion or belief, political or other opinion, ethnicity, national or social o=
rigin, disability, or other status. Everyone has the right to equal treatme=
nt under the law.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Yet racism and other form=
s of discrimination are built into law enforcement and justice systems arou=
nd the world; from racial profiling and discriminatory police checks, to se=
lective enforcement of drug policies and broad application of anti-terror l=
aws.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Following the introduction of emergenc=
y laws in France in 2015, police carried out thousands of discriminatory ra=
ids and house arrests, mostly targeting Muslims. Police burst into mosques,=
 forced open doors, and sometimes handcuffed or pointed firearms at people,=
 some of whom were targeted solely on the basis of their religious beliefs.=
</div><div></div><div></div><div>All cases of police use of lethal force sh=
ould be subject to a thorough, independent, impartial and transparent inves=
tigation and if the evidence indicates that the killing was unlawful, the p=
olice officer responsible should be criminally prosecuted.</div><div></div>=
<div></div><div>In the Philippines, President Duterte ordered police forces=
 to kill anyone they believe to be connected to the drugs trade when he ass=
umed office in June 2016 and pledged to protect security forces from prosec=
ution. When the President sanctions murder and promises immunity, accountab=
ility is almost impossible.</div><div></div><div></div><div>On March 5, 202=
3, a group of violent agitators used the cover of a peaceful protest of the=
 proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center to conduct a coordinated at=
tack on construction equipment and police officers. They changed into black=
 clothing and entered the construction area and began to throw large rocks,=
 bricks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at police officers.</div><div></d=
