Since the inception of the criminaljustice system in the United States there has always been in function atthree branches, or organizations within the system. They consist ofenforcement, judiciary and corrections. In the early days enforcementwas a sheriff's office or state enforcement agency, but as America grewso did the need to organize local enforcement entities. The judiciary ofthe early days was also a regional type of judiciary until developmentsin society called for county and even municipal judicial organizationsto handle crimes not normally overseen by the federal system. Then thereis corrections, from the early days of stockades to the current daycorrections systems, all with the duty to incarcerate and ensurepunishment handed down by the judiciary was carried out (Neubauer,2018).

As the necessities to expand with the population of the United Statesalso gave cause for expansion of these systems, and with them the costof those expansions, which in turn would cause budgetary concerns whichgovernments would have to give considerable thought to in order to seethe services don't falter.

My level of the machine is the Chief of Police of a municipality ofabout 12,000 people which the jurisdiction happens to be withing twoseparate counties, Grady and McClain Counties, in Oklahoma. I have theresponsibility of handling the budget for a total of 30 employees, toinclude the 911 center, patrol, investigative and administrativedivisions, which includes the municipal jail. The U.S. Criminal JusticeSystem has a direct impact on how my department is funded, as well asregulatory authority over my jail and 911 communications system. Anyviolations in policy can result in the shutting down of my system, orremoval of any federal or state funding which supports the operations ofmy agency. My department has benefited from nearly $285,000.00 infederal grants in the last 3.5 years I've been the Chief of Police.

Since 911 the transfer of information has improved greatly fromfederal, to state, to district and to municipal governments, by way ofthe world wide web, telecommunication systems, both wired and satellitecommunications. Most of the funding through local governments like minecould not be successful without assistance from federal and stategovernments (Modlin, 2018). The largest contributor to policies in thecriminal justice system is the Department of Justice, throughimplementing regulations and funding for operations of local and stateagencies (Neubauer, 2018).

For critical data from we have today what's called fusion centeralerts which are sent out through text messages, emails and teletype, aremarkable advance since the early days of my career in law enforcement.Through these methods of communications we get alerts like AmberAlerts, Silver Alerts and data about terror threats and local crimes andcriminals.

Without these new policies our nation would be routinely victimizedby groups who want to do us harm, just like it was before 911.
