Police and the Criminal Justice System

Post Trial

  • Police do not play a huge role

  • They DO, however, patrol the same streets where the same criminals will usually frequent after being released

  • Important for officers to work with those who supervise criminals post jail time (probation officers, etc)

  • Advantageous for them to work together but try to avoid duplication of effort

Police at Trial

Grand Juries

"Some jurisdictions rely on a grand jury rather than allowing prosecutors to determine whether charges are appropriate... Police officers often testify before grand juries in order to help make the case against a possible criminal defendant."

  • A trial will ensue after the defendant pleads "not guilty"to the charge

  • It is the prosecutor's responsibility to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt

Police will often be called on to provide testimony under oath.
