Background: Overweight and obesity issue occur in Municipal Police Officers in Ternate (Polres Ternate). A pilot study has been done in Polres Ternate and found that there were 70 cases of overweight Police Officers. According to the attending health care profession, the treatment of those overweight cases had been done through exercise but without diet management. This is an experimental study with pre- and post-test in both control and intervention group. Population in this study was 70 Overweight Municipal Police Officers in Ternate (Polres Ternate). The sample size in this study was 30 respondents which were were randomly selected and divided into 15 in each of intervention and control group. Intervention group was given papaya juice while control group was given placebo for 60 days. The results show that there was significant different body weight between before and after intervention in intervention group but there was non-significant different body weight between before and after intervention in control group. There was non-significant different body weight between intervention group and control group after intervention. Body weight loss happened in intervention group which caused by papaya juice administration together with the education and motivation of the respondents. Nevertheless, there was no significant different between intervention group and control group after intervention.

This chapter considers the growing sophistication of collaborations between Hollywood and particular police forces during cinema’s first decades, showing how the locations of the emerging film industry—municipalities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles—decisively shaped that industry’s relationship to law enforcement. Representing a deliberate departure from the one- and two-reel films that had lampooned the police through slapstick and other farcical gestures, certain feature films also augured industrial trends that would run far deeper than onscreen depictions, involving law enforcement officials as more than just objects of narrative fascination. The national promotion of such films illustrates more than just the emergence of standardized, studio-dictated distribution and exhibition policies. It also indicates the coalescence of a national model of law enforcement that, like the strategies of circulation and ballyhoo determined at a studio’s corporate headquarters, experienced at least some degree of alteration at the local level, where municipal police departments, neighborhood cinemas, and other small businesses shaped, in idiosyncratic and often unpredictable ways, both professional methods and popular reception practices.

Nearly all scholarship on body-worn cameras (BWCs) has focused on municipal police departments, as they comprise a majority of sworn agencies. Given the unique environment of collegiate law enforcement agencies, however, it is possible that their paths to BWCs—and the benefits and challenges they experience—vary from that of more traditional agencies. Using a survey of 126 collegiate police departments and in-depth interviews with 15 collegiate police executives, this study describes their goals, challenges, and benefits related to BWCs. Importantly, it also describes the decision-making of agencies that chose not to implement BWCs, giving voice to an understudied population and providing guidance to special agencies in making the decision to adopt BWCs. The most notable benefits and challenges interrelate with their placement as part of institutions of higher education, such as the impact of collegiate privacy concerns (e.g., FERPA) and the utility of BWC footage in both law enforcement and educational processes.
