What will be an ideal response?
• The fundamental police mission in democratic societies includes five components: (1) enforcing the law (especially the criminal law), (2) apprehending offenders, (3) preventing crime, (4) preserving the peace, and (5) providing the community with needed enforcement-related services. While certain aspects may go hand-in-hand (apprehending offenders may help prevent future crime), strict enforcement of every law, no matter how minor, may conflict with community service and preserving the peace.
