The San Jose Police Department (SJPD) is the police agency for San Jose, California, which has contributed to San Jose being one of the safest large cities in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=City Crime Rankings by Population )〕 The San Jose Police Department is led by Chief of Police Larry Esquivel. In September 2007, the San Jose Police Department began making all its Calls for Service available to the public 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crime Reports : Map )〕 through a partnership with Crime Reports.com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crime Reports : Map )〕 San Jose is the first American city to make all 911 calls available via online "CrimeReports.com" maps. The 911 call data is updated daily. ==History== The San Jose Police Department was founded in 1849. At that time, California was not even officially part of the United States, but regardless, San Jose was considered the capital. During its beginnings, the most common offenses recorded for the department were public intoxication and vagrancy according to old jailhouse records. In 1880, the department was averaging at 120 arrests per month, and the position of police chief was created. The chief also acted as the superintendent of the city jail, and by the late 1880s, the department went from 10 officers at its beginning to 25. In the early 1900s, as the SJPD grew, it became much more organized. As laws were passed and the department modernized, more rules and regulations were instituted regarding police officers. Officers now needed to go through field training and revolver training. The department, along with many others in the nation, drastically changed with the introduction of the automobile and the advent of motorcycle units. The motorcycle unit mainly cited people for speeding and other traffic violations, and spent a considerable amount of time in court. San Jose was one of the first places to use radio and phone technology to help officers perform their duties better. In 1925, the city council released the first rules and regulations manual to all department members. It was the inspiration for the duty manual that the department currently uses. The San Jose Police Academy first started out as a police college for aspiring officers to earn four year bachelor's degrees with an emphasis on criminal justice. Men made up the entire police force up until 1945, when Ida Waalkes became the first female to be a sworn officer with the San Jose Police Department. Community policing became popular with the department in the early 1990s, as specific geographic areas were mapped out and assigned. This enabled officers to get to know the people and communities they patrolled, and is partially credited for keeping San Jose one of the safest large cities in America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Jose Police Department」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
