or more signature in an inverted position to weigh
their identifying significance.

THEORY OF POLICE OMNIPRESENCE – explains
that high police visibility discourages criminals. It
explains that criminals think twice before executing
their plans if there is obvious presence of police
officers. Thus, patrol activity should be carried in a
manner that attracts maximum attention to the
police officer or police vehicles. This theory applies
the principle of high police visibility.

advocated by Jeremy Bentham, which states that

have little ambition, dislike work, and must be
coerced in order to perform satisfactorily.

not inherently dislike work and if properly
rewarded, especially satisfying esteem and self-
actualization needs, will perform well on the job.
