This lower budget means that small departments can put less officers and less vehicles on the roads. Having less officers means that the departments must break its jurisdiction into larger zones and may not be able to place more than one unit in each zone. This means that officers are further away from back up and response times may be longer than those experienced in the city. Rural departments are unlikely to afford specialized units meaning that bomb disposal, drug cases, and special victims crimes must be handled by either regular units or an outside element. This trend of requiring outside assistance is common in rural departments and may be seen anytime the department encounters any out of the ordinary calls for assistance. Commonalities Both large and small departments must face limited funds and the resulting limited man power (McRae, 1973, p. 1). Having a limited amount of money might mean that a department must increase the size of its patrol zones and units may be deployed more sparsely. Patrol allocation may be greatly changed if the department’s budget is increased or decreased. Maximizing the use of personnel and funds is a challenge that ever department must manage and here lies the true measures of…

Perimeter Defense: Beyond the Basics It is called "all round defense". In other words, a threat can come from any direction.

The police department is not unionized. Therefore, it is not required to have or provide legal representation by contract. The investigators provide the officer the Garrity/Brady warnings, when an internal investigation occurs. The officer must corporate with the internal investigation. An officer may appeal suspensions…
Foundation of Personal Communication Defensive Climate is a situation where one perceives or anticipates some form of threat and feels like they need to defend themselves from the unknown and become cautious with their surrounding and people around them. For example, your supervisor makes statements that imply that you are always late, and you know you have only been late once: you tend to be defensive.

include general information regarding ladders, their formation, and ways to both escape them and defend against them. What is a ladder? Although, in this case, it isn’t a handyman’s tool for reaching higher places, it does somewhat resemble one on a hex board when completed. Ladders form most frequently near the edge of the board as a result of the defending player attempting to stop the attacking player from reaching that edge. Ladders are typically identified by the row in which the…

to be found in the conventional, civilized world. The scenes that take place outside the Zone are painted in a condemning light. The home of the Stalker, the building and town in which he resides that is slowly exposed to the viewer in the beginning portion of the film, is depicted as an empty, hopeless place. The incentive for this portrayal is the origin of this place’s ruin. While the Zone represents a more organic decay, demonstrative of the inevitable continuation of life, this place is the…
After Stanford scored on their first drive with a 75 yard run by McCaffrey, Iowa’s defensive mentality became overly reactive—loosing the poise of a well established zone defense. Either Kevin Hogan, Stanford’s quarterback, or Stanford’s offensive play coordinator was able to read Iowa’s defense and prescribe a play that best leveraged Stanford’s players and Iowa’s relative perception of individual players as threats in such a way that it lead to a touchdown. Leading up to the specific play,…
