However, after reading the article, the author noted that the police have a mandate to enforce public order, investigate crimes and strictly follow legal procedures, even when prosecuting chronic and dangerous criminals (Kagoro, 2014). Ideally, it was argued, there should be strict dividing lines between the police and the military; the former for domestic purposes, the latter protecting citizens from external threats (Kagoro, 2014). In his article on the anti-militarization of policing in the United States, Kurt Andrew Schlichter aptly said that the military is designed, organized, and equipped to execute rapid, violent, and effective destruction of "the enemy"—no matter what. or the enemy. be (Kagoro, 2014). However, law enforcement is generally modeled on the military and there are in fact a large number of police officers who are ex-military. This was a new criticism of the police that I was unfamiliar with in the study of criminal justice, but I found it to be a valid argument. The idea of ​​changing the focus of policing to be less of a battleground and more of a community may be a compelling approach to making it less interacting with citizens.
