Benjamin Ambrosio was a police officer for over ten years in New York
City. During that time, he participated in over 120 arrests, working to
dispel corruption and fighting the unlicensed operation of motor
vehicle. He earned three Exemplary Police Duty medals for his role in
attempted bribery arrests and for arresting and investigating people for
operating motor vehicles without a license. He understood his role in
the larger criminal justice system on the city, state, and federal level
as a police officer. This system is stronger with the help of qualified
and careful officers like Ambrosio, who spent years doing the work to
keep his fellow citizens safe.
There are three main components of
the American Criminal Justice system: legislative, adjudication, and
corrections. Without a strong and competent police force, the levels of
the criminal justice system wouldn’t work to serve and protect anyone.
Benjamin Ambrosio made it his duty to work with the community and help
keep the system moving toward justice and fairness as much as possible.
Functionally, police officers feed the adjudication and corrections
levels of the criminal justice system, but if they work well and are
trained properly, they can be a much more effective force in keeping
people safe on the neighborhood and community level.
Benjamin Ambrosio has worked hard to maintain the fair and safe use of the
criminal justice system on the streets of New York City for years and
cherished his role in the system. He knows that with careful, fair, and
compassionate policing focused on the community, local police forces can
provide a useful service to all Americans.
