Law enforcement training officers are responsible for training recruits to perform their duties safely and responsibly. Law enforcement officers must determine how relationships affect local residents.

Imagine that you are a law enforcement training officer in a city of 620,000 diverse citizens. You are developing an overview and presentation for a new officer training program on protecting your residents without infringing on their privacy.
Identify the topic you will be presenting on. Select 1 of the following issues:
Constitutional right to privacy
The panopticon society
Governmental surveillance
Private sector online data collection
Identity theft
Cybercrime
Develop a 175- to 350- word overview in which you explain what you will be presenting on. This will be handed out to the officers in the training session.

Create an 8- to 10-slide presentation with detailed speaker notes.

Include the following in your presentation:
Identification of the issue
Explanation of how this issue affects your diverse community
Specific recommendations you as law enforcement officers will implement to combat these issues
Summary of how you will protect your residents without infringing upon their privacy
Speaker notes that include what you would say in a live presentation

Question 1: Why are some people victims of crimes and others are not? What are some factors that contribute to victimization? Do the early theories on violence and victimization help or hurt our current understanding of victimization? (approx. 200-250 words)
Question 2: Watch the video about Nia’s experiences as a victim. After watching the video, pretend that you are a victim advocate and she has just shared her story with you. At the end of it, answer her questions, “How am I doing? Is any of this normal?” As you answer her questions, take into consideration the short and long-term responses and coping mechanisms that she has employed to survive her victimization. (approx. 200-250 words)

Question 3: You are working at a Rape Crisis Center and you are called by a victim who was brutally gang raped in a rural part of the county that you are working in. She is scared to call the police, but she does want help. You ask her if she is safe, but she is unsure. She gives you her location, but it is against your organization’s policy to go to a person’s home. You can meet her at a hospital or a public place, but not her home. She has no transportation and will not call the police for transportation. She will not call family/friends because she does not want them to know that she was raped. You know from past experience that an ambulance will only go out there for a life threatening emergency, which is not the case now. What will you do to help the victim in this case? (approx. 200-250 words)
Question 4: Watch the video about Rebel’s experiences as a victim. After watching the video, pretend that you are a victim advocate and she has just shared her story with you except that she is still involved in the abusive relationship, but estranged from him. He is actively stalking her and she has contacted the police several times due to his threats and abuse. Using the website, Survivor to Survivor (http://survivortosurvivor.org/), help Rebel to determine her options, resources, and guide her through her next steps through the criminal justice system. Assess the extent to which this website enabled you to help Rebel and would you suggest this as a resource for other victims of intimate partner violence? (approx. 200-250 words)

Question 5: Sean is a 16 year old who ran away from home. He lives on the streets and resorted to prostitution in order to make some money to survive. He lives in a motel with a few other runaway kids who he met on the street. One day he is called over to a car and is driven to a remote area where he is raped and beaten to death. Discuss the possible trauma response of at least two people in Sean’s life (e.g., parents, siblings, extended family, friends, and/or roommates). Discuss the ways in which their trauma response will differ and why. Explore your own feelings about the victimization depicted in this scenario and honestly assess if you would have felt differently based on changes in age, gender, race/ethnicity, and/or lifestyle. (double-spaced, at least 3 pages, APA style)
Question 6: Maria was a 14 year old teenager of Hispanic origin who worked part-time after school at a clothing store in the local mall. She loved her job because of the money it provided, the freedom from her very strict family, and the opportunity to meet new people. One day while at work, Maria offered to help a woman who was undecided about what to buy. They hit it off right away and the woman told Maria that she was beautiful, she had a flair for fashion, and that she would be a perfect model. The woman told Maria about her studio, explained the process of head shots, and how her photo would be widely distributed and picked up by many agencies throughout the nation. The woman told her of the opportunities to meet other new people, get out of her small town, make more money, and the endless possibilities of modeling. Maria was flattered and intrigued and they promised to meet again at the food court the next day.
Upon their second meeting, Maria met not only the woman, but one of her photographers. Maria was shown pictures of many young women like herself who “made it,” as a result of modeling. After talking about this further, Maria agreed to meet them at the mall over the weekend because she would be able to stay out longer without her parents becoming suspicious. The woman and the photographer agreed and told Maria to bring a few changes of clothing including a bathing suit for the shoot. Maria was excited and complied. When they met again over the weekend, Maria agreed to go with the couple to their studio. Once at the studio, Maria was quickly asked to put on the bathing suit, and after a few pictures a man was introduced as her “partner” for the pictures. Before too much longer, Maria was told to take off the bathing suit, to get into suggestive poses, while her “partner” touched her. Maria was very uncomfortable and wanted to leave. Her exit was blocked – increasingly scared, Maria began to cry. She was told to shut up and be a “good little girl.” Maria complied by taking off her clothes while the man sexually assaulted her with the camera rolling. Maria was ultimately given drugs and alcohol and transported to an unknown place where she was forced into prostitution. She was repeatedly raped while in captivity, while pictures and videos were taken of her ordeal. Every few days, Maria was drugged and taken to a new unknown location. Maria was disoriented and scared, with no resources, no means of contacting her family, and no opportunity to escape. After several months, law enforcement was tipped off to a possible trafficking situation. When they raided the home, police found Maria and several other young teenagers who were serving as sex slaves for a human trafficking ring. As a victim advocate working with Maria and her family, answer the following questions (double-spaced, at least 3 pages, APA style):
What will you do to help Maria immediately (now to 24 hours)
What will you do to help Maria in the short-term (24 hours to 1 month)
What will you do to help Maria in the long-term (within the next year)?
What services are available to Maria and her family, as victims of human trafficking within Connecticut?
What are some challenges you will face in working with Maria and her family, as victims of human trafficking?
Will Maria be eligible for victim compensation?
Question 7: Watch the video of Jee Young who talks about her brother’s experiences as a victim of a hate crime. Outline an approach that you feel addresses the prevention of hate crimes. What is needed to help primary and secondary victims like Jee Young and her brother? (approx. 200-250 words)
https://www.ovcttac.gov/victimimpact/presenters_to… and scroll down until you get to item number 4 on the list titled, “Hate Crime-Jee Young”.
Question 8: A 9-1-1 dispatcher for the local police department receives a call from a woman who is sobbing and scared. You ask the nature of the call and she identifies herself as 78-year old married woman. Crying, she says that she stayed home today while her husband went to play golf. Shortly after he left, she heard the back door open. Thinking it was him, she called out, but he did not answer. When she went to look, she was attacked by a man who beat her, tied her up, and locked her in a closet. Before running, he stole money, jewelry, and a few electronics. He told her that if she moved or called the cops, he would be back to “finish the job.” When her husband came home, he heard her sobbing, opened the door, and found her tied up and bloody on the ground with her clothes ripped off. While she does not admit to a sexual assault, you should proceed as if she has been sexually assaulted. The dispatcher sends out the police and a victim advocate to help this woman. As a victim advocate, answer the following questions (double-spaced, at least 3 pages, APA style):
What will you do to help this woman immediately (now to 24 hours)?
What will you do to help this woman in the short-term (24 hours to 1 month)?
What will you do to help this woman in the long-term (within the next year)?
What resources are available in the community to assist this woman and her husband in the aftermath of a violent rape and home invasion?
Is she eligible for victim compensation?

As a member of the Policy and Development Unit for the Virtual City Police Department (VPD), you have been called into a meeting with your supervisor, several other police commanders, and the Chief of the VPD. This is what you are told by the head of the Criminal Intelligence Unit.
The City of Virtual has experienced a significant increase in crimes committed by high school age teenagers, both men and women. While the range of crimes is significant, Disorderly Conduct and Loitering has become the crimes the community is most concerned with. In the typical case, groups of teenagers are hanging out in the large parks after they have closed. These teens are then hanging out in the parks, playing music, yelling, and leaving trash in the parks. While there is no evidence of the teens using illegal drugs, there is evidence that the teenagers are drinking alcohol. At this time, it is not known exactly how the teens are obtaining the alcohol.
The City of Virtual Neighborhood Watch Association, and several religious leaders in the City of Virtual have sent a letter to the Chief expressing their concerns about this behavior, and the impact it is having in the community.
The Investigations Commander provided the following summary of the current evidence and intelligence:
The teens come from all of the high schools in Virtual City, and will gather with teens from other high schools. There does not seem to be any rivalries between the various schools. The gatherings usually start when it gets dark, and either break up around 1:00 am, or when police respond to the location.
There is evidence that supports that these gatherings are organized using social media. However, VPD does not have any specific information as to what codes are being used or exactly how social media is being used to advertise the gatherings. There does not appear to be a “leader” organizing these gatherings.
While there have been some arguments between the teens at these gathering, there have been few fights, and no evidence of the presence of illegal drugs, firearms or other weapons. However, some of the teens have been caught with alcohol. Empty cans and bottles, as well as other trash, have been found in the parks the next morning, and had to be cleaned up.
Many neighbors have called VPD to report the loud noise of the teens. Not only are the teens talking and yelling, they are playing loud music, and there is significant foot and vehicle traffic where these gatherings are.
The Virtual Neighborhood Watch, and the religious leaders are petitioning the Mayor for a plan to both prevent these large gatherings from occurring, and quickly disperse them if they do occur. While they do not advocate for the teenagers to be arrested, the community wants these disruptions to the residential neighborhoods to stop. The groups have offered their resources to address the issue.
The Chief has decided to form a  8-unit task force. This operation will be a collaborative effort involving both the Virtual Police Department and other appropriate “partner” agencies within the community and criminal justice system. The Policy and Development Unit will draw up the proposal for the Chief to take to the Mayor. Your supervisor gives this assignment to you.
Identifying 6 and only 6 departmental units that will be included in some manner on the task force from the Virtual Police Department Table of Organization chart. (See Virtual Police Table of Organization.)
NOTE: Selection of a “Commander” (e.g., Operations Commander) as a Unit includes the official and their immediate office staff. It does not include each of the subordinate units.
2. For each of the 6 units selected from within the Virtual PD you are asked to:
a) Identify the unit and briefly describe its typical operational/administrative role and regular duties in a law enforcement agency.

b) Explain why the unit was chosen for this task force, what role it will play on the task force.
NOTE: If a unit would do the same thing whether it was part of the task force or not, there is no reason to include it in the task force. For example, the Evidence Locker would handle any physical evidence exactly the same way whether or not it was on the task force.
If more than 6 units in the Virtual Police Department have a potential role on this task force, you must select the 6 units having the most impact and/or being most useful in achieving the goal of preventing the disorderly gatherings from ever occurring.
3. Additionally, you will identify 4 units in the Virtual Police Departmental units that will NOT be part of the task force. For each of these units not selected, you are asked to:
a) Identify the unit and briefly describe its typical operational/administrative role and regular duties in a law enforcement agency.
b) Explain why it was NOT chosen for this task force. Be specific. While some units’ specialty may not be involved with these events. Other units could be used, but their role may not be the best choice.
4. To complete the 8 unit task force, you will also identify 2 non-departmental organizations from the community that should be included in some manner on the task force
a) Identify the organization, and briefly describe its typical operational/administrative role and regular function in the community.
b) Explain why the organization was chosen for this task force, what role it will play on the task force.
c) Explain the role that the City of Virtual Neighborhood Watch Association, and the religious leaders will play in this task force as a partner.
NOTE: You are free to select any community-based, law enforcement, or other criminal justice organization. These non-departmental organizations should provide resources and options that the Virtual Police Department does not have on its own.
As well, any organization should be identified as being part of the City of Virtual. This means that if you decide to use a real organization, such as the “Maryland Boys’ and Girls’ Club,” in your task force, you would cite to their webpage, but identify the group in your paper as the, “City of Virtual Boys’ and Girls’ Club.”
One more word of advice: This paper will be presented by the Chief of Police to the Mayor of Virtual. Make sure you use the appropriate word choices and include the information the Mayor would need.

Background Information
For the past 11 months, the Virtual Police Department has applied a variety of investigative resources and strategies and is prepared to bring a number of criminal charges against the members of the Very Bad Bike Club. These started out as investigations of individual calls-for-service, complaints and criminal investigations. They merged into a collective effort as the pattern of activities and participants began to form. Based on the investigations, the department believes it has probable cause to arrest and charge nearly every one of the 63 VBBC members for conspiracy to manufacture illegal drugs, conspiracy to sell illegal drugs, and participation in a criminal enterprise. Additionally, numerous individual VBBC members can be charged with combinations of individual criminal violations, including possession of illegal drugs, illegal possession of firearms, robbery, attempted robbery, aggravated assault, and attempted murder. Despite the confidence the Chief of the VPD has in these cases, no information has been conveyed to the Office of the District Attorney nor has there been any involvement with the Grand Jury. As far as the Chief of the Police is concerned, this is the chance to destroy the VBBC once and for all.
The VBBC has plagued Virtual for over a decade. Efforts to stop criminal activity by members of the VBBC have been made almost exclusively by the police department, with little or no support from the rest of the Virtual criminal justice system. In the past, most criminal charges brought to the Virtual prosecutor’s office by police detectives have resulted in outright dismissal for lack of probable cause or plea-bargained agreements that reduce potential felony charges to misdemeanors with payable fines. There have been however, two prior instances of massive arrests of VBBC members. Approximately 7 years ago, raids resulted in the confiscation of drugs and weapons and the ultimate conviction of 12 VBBC members. Six of these members are on parole and still reside in Virtual; two others are currently in the county detention center awaiting trial for new criminal charges and four others are confined to the State prison near Virtual. A similar sweep three years ago produced nearly identical results. These sweeps appear to have been ineffective. In short, the VBBC has a network of members in jail, in prison, on parole in the community and free on the street. The current police investigation has affirmed that all of these VBBC members are in near constant communications with each other.
Robert “Buddy” Pole is the “president” of the VBBC. While currently on parole for manufacturing methamphetamine, Buddy Pole continues to orchestrate the criminal enterprise that is VBBC. Provisions of his parole agreement that prohibit association with known criminals have gone unenforced. Robert Pole, Jr, (a.k.a. “Little Buddy” or “Bud Lite”) is currently in the Virtual Detention Center awaiting trial for carrying a concealed weapon. He seems to be in no hurry to make the affordable bail. Jail officials believe he is trying to organize a drug network within the jail. Two Detention Center correctional officers were recently disciplined for attempting to smuggle cell phones into the lock-up. It is believed they were destined for Little Buddy’s use. The youngest member of the Pole family is Patricia (a.k.a. “Tripper”). A chronic truant and troublemaker in school, Tripper was suspected of providing marijuana to her junior high school classmates and has continued the practice in high school. At age 19 and legally an adult, she is just about to complete her senior year of high school. Tripper’s collections of miscreant friends, most of whom are VBBC members or “wannabes”, congregate regularly around the Virtual Mall and commercial centers. Her boyfriend, John Henry Maxwell applied for a job as a Dunbar Security Force officer but was rejected because of his record.
In order to rid the city of Virtual of this criminal gang, Virtual Police Department Chief Clayton Moore called upon his criminal justice partners:
* The head of the Virtual Police Department VBBC task force, Captain Jay Silverheels
* The chief criminal prosecutor from the Office of the District Attorney, Raymond Burr
* The Security Chief of the state correctional facility, Major Allen Irongates
* The District Supervisor for the state department of parole, Martha Street
* The Operations Director of the Virtual Security Force, James Dunbar
The Virtual Security Force, a private security company hired by the Virtual Commercial Merchants Association to provide security personnel, equipment, etc. to supplement the resources of the Virtual Police Department in designated business and commercial areas of the city. VSF personnel hold special police commissions, have arrest authority on the property of their clients and may or may not be armed depending on their assignment and qualifications.
At their initial meeting, Chief Moore made it clear to these partners that they had a single goal, to end the reign of terror emanating from the VBBC and victimizing Virtual’s citizens. Clearly if there was any hope of success, each criminal justice partner has to do their part for the collective good of all. The Chief’s remarks were met with wholesale agreement. It was decided the Virtual Criminal Justice Alliance would attack the VBBC on two levels (1) the pursuit of the current police investigations and prosecutions, and (2) a strategic plan to work collaboratively to reduce crime in Virtual. When the initial meeting adjourned, Chief Moore had designated Captain Siverheels as his delegate. He was not sure, however, that every agency representative in the room felt his level of commitment or truly understood the consequences of failure. He was also curious as to what resources each “partner” was willing to bring to this operation and what would be held back.
Major Irongate has her own issues with VBBC. Their presence in the state prison has settled down what had previously been a powder keg of gang-related unrest. VBBC has become the dominate force in the prison. John “Jacky” Pole has been able to get the warring national/international gang members in the prison to suspend their violence and focus on drug-related profits. With tensions simmering just below the surface, Irongate knows the self-serving truce may be short lived. Major Irongate was also asked to represent the Virtual Detention Center. This facility holds arrestees awaiting a bail hearing, denied bail prior to trial or in transitional housing from the state prison to attend court. The jail also holds offenders serving short sentences for convictions on misdemeanor charges. Nearly all of the prison’s inmate population came through the Detention Center and may return there to be available for court appearances. Major Irongate is convinced that these “traveling” inmates are being used as “mules” for drugs and contraband cell phones.
Of the persons assembled by Chief Moore, only Dunbar represents a commercial, profit-driven agency. Simply put, these profits are the difference between the costs for the security provided and the fees Dunbar charges. Dunbar is eager to demonstrate a successful partnership with VPD and the Virtual Commercial Merchants’ Association as a stepping-stone to contracts with larger jurisdictions. In any case, Dunbar’s primary motivation is to make money.
Raymond Burr would applaud Chief Moore’s plan if he could, but as a pragmatist, he feels that this is a waste of time. He understands, if no one else at the table does, that plea bargaining is to only way the criminal justice system can do business. He has also warned the chief before that his detectives need additional training on establishing probable cause, proper interrogation procedures, appropriate charging, etc. If the VPD could get its act together he would love to prosecute a good solid case against the VBBC, but prosecuting a “looser” case will not solve the problem or help his own political ambitions.
