If you need more help, you'll need to be more specific where you're struggling. We're not here to do your homework for you. :)

HELP.

More data is required for me to offer an accurate comparison. I need to know what your specific community's policing policy is, for example. Also, what do you mean by quasi military? I understand what the term quasi means, but unfortunately it's not a fixed or finite definition. There are gradations of it, since it really only means "simlilar to."

 

I will offer a personal opinion, though. Most American police forces are getting more military like in their policies and tactics every year. Ever since 9/11. Most of their military tactics and mindsets are unjustified, however. They use overly militarized tactics only because they can.
