Abstract

Abstract : I am not sure how often I hear it, but it is definitely something that anyone in law enforcement, even those relatively new to the field, can relate to. Sometimes the comment is associated with a discussion in the locker room or around the roll‐call room — maybe when a new policy is instituted or perhaps after a critical incident that did not go as expected. The origin could be the crafty veteran and most senior officer in the department or a newer officer. "The job sure has changed …" What does that mean though? What do you think about when you hear people say that? Is policing harder today than it was 10, 20, or 30 years ago?
