Presiding Officer

age of 17, and received relatively good grades. I was an enthusiastic but average sportsman. I also developed an interest in a military career, and applied to do officer training. My application was accepted. I enlisted on 3 Jan 85, and was posted to the Royal Military College in Australia where a small number of New Zealand officers are trained. I commenced an engineering degree, but soon enjoyed such an active social life that I failed the first…

along with the President, seeing as it has limited downside to the public, will pass this bill. The Camera Authorization and Maintenance Act, or the CAM Act of 2014, states that any state or unit of government that doesn’t require law enforcement officers to use body-worn cameras will not receive any grants from the Attorney General the following fiscal year. This highly incentivizes the use of body-worn cameras by policemen. This bill would we a major solution to the principal-agent problem, as…

One way that stands out is the fact that each officer will be aware they are wearing these cameras, therefore making them less likely to commit acts of police violence. They know each action they make is being constantly recorded and will be looked at and scrutinized if there is a claim of excessive police force. There have been multiple studies done by different universities in different parts of America showing the use of body cameras on police officers has significantly fewer complaints and…

the police have a social responsibility of uniting people in a community and ensuring that individual rights are protected. The police should catch lawbreakers with work to prevent crime by promoting law and order in our communities. It means that officers have to listen to the demands of individuals inclusively and ensure that they meet needs of the disadvantaged in the society (Independent Police Commission Report, 2012). For the police to fully serve their social purpose, they need to…

Ferguson, MO. (Some states are requiring police officers to wear body cameras, and now there is a push for federal law requiring every police officer in the United States to be equipped with a body camera). The reasoning behind this is because body cameras benefit both the police officer and the citizen in many different ways. Some examples of these benefits include, encouraging both parties to do the right thing by the law, help exonerate police officers from crimes, and also provide proof to…

stopped by a police officer and his K-9 after he was seen jaywalking. When the officer and his dog approached the man, the dog immediately reacted to the scent of some sort of illegal substance. Because the dog was alerted by the scent, the officer then had probable cause to search him. As he searched the man, the officer did find illegal substances that the dog smelt. The man was then arrested and charged with possession of illegal substances. The dog’s alertness gave the police officer all of…

Ethical Dilemma Situation Ethical dilemmas involving law enforcement officers happen every day. We can create a situation all on our own or we can be brought into a situation just because we are there. The facts remain the same, no matter how we ended up in an ethical dilemma situation, what are we going to do about it and is there a right way to handle the situation. Situation After all of the hard work and effort I have put forth to graduate with a criminal justice degree, I am placed…

Re-gaining control of their department’s reputation is absolutely vital if there exists desire to leave these trying times for police officers. Not only would this use of social media provide a forum for various community members to share tips and ask questions, but also would this spread knowledge even faster than traditional methods, such as news casting or posting positions in newspapers…

find the answer for the proper use of these system the points consistently being brought up are when to record, should it be a constant recording of the full shift or at the discretion of the officer. Secondly the rights of all the people being recorded; the officers, subject that is the focus of the officer, and bystanders that may be recorded. Finally how much of a video should be given to the public and media outlets when requested, the full un-edited video or should some level of editing be…

forensic unit test the crowbar for fingerprints and to make sure that was the dead girl’s blood. A match came back and hour later. It was the deceased blood on the crowbar and there were fingerprints on it. The fingerprints belonged to Andrew Fitz, an officer of the Painswick Police Department. Kate and I grabbed Mr. Fitz and took him into questioning. Instead of Kate talking I did. I asked him to pull his sleeves up, he kept questioning why and tried not to but Kate told him to do it and he had…
