Abstract

The chapter delves into the intricate organizational structure of law enforcement in the United States, focusing on federal, state, and local agencies. It discusses the varying capabilities of these agencies in handling public order policing, highlighting the critical role of training, equipment, and coordination. The text also explores the historical context of civil unrest in the US and the evolution of public order policing tactics. Notably, it emphasizes the National Decision Model and the Incident Command System as crucial frameworks for managing large-scale events. The chapter concludes with a detailed case study of a fictitious assembly situation in Y-city, illustrating the practical application of these frameworks and the complexities of managing public demonstrations.
