Description
In the Unit 1 discussion, you examined several different examples of how research is used in public safety to find areas of improvement and how it became the foundation to improve practice. Recognizing the importance of research in public safety, your task is to write a memo to your local City Council regarding an issue in public safety that would benefit from research and to introduce to the City Council why adequate funding is necessary to support these research activities. Additionally, introduce to the members of the Council the potential issues that can occur if research is undertaken that does not adhere to the scientific method.
The specific steps are as follows:
Locate an issue in public safety, within your local community, where research could help improve a practice.
Construct a 3-page memo with the following sections:Introduction to the issue
Explanation of the importance of research as it relates to your chosen issue
Overview of the scientific method
Potential concerns when the scientific method is not used
The 3-page memo does not include the title page and reference pages in the page count.

Below will be a background of the class: BACKGROUND OF THE CLASS: This course will explore the activities andauthorities of the various offices of inspector general established throughout the federal government.In particular, it will examine the unique contributions made by the Department of Homeland Security(DHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG) to protecting national security while concurrentlysafeguarding the civil rights/civil liberties of U.S. persons. Class sessions will focus on the reportwriting process, effective interviewing techniques, and the importance of inter/intra-departmentalcollaboration. The main goal of this course will be to equip students with the knowledge and skillsnecessary to become effective practitioners in this dynamic career field.The United States Congress enacted the Inspector General Act of 1978 to ensure integrity andefficiency in government. As a result of this legislation, each Inspector General is granted uniqueauthority to conduct internal audits, inspections, and investigations of departmental programs andoperations. Notably, the DHS OIG has conducted innovative reviews of highly-sensitive andcontroversial topics such as aviation security, immigration, border enforcement, maritimeenforcement, domestic intelligence activities, and disaster assistance/emergency management. Thiswork requires oversight of multiple DHS components including the Transportation SecurityAdministration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, U.S.Citizenship and Immigration Services, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Office of Intelligence and Analysis,and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.OIG investigations and program reviews necessitate unprecedented coordination across thegovernment spectrum. Effective collaborative partnerships are imperative to conducting domesticintelligence activities and national security investigations. As a result, the legal authorities of theDepartment of Justice (DOJ), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), and theDepartment of Defense (DOD) will also be discussed at length. Class sessions will rely primarily onthe case study method to illustrate relevant concepts related to internal investigations and programreviews. Public OIG reports and related legislation will serve as the core course material.

Brief the following (fictional) case
Mo v. Tta
123 N.E. 4d 567 (2022)
Highest and Most Supreme Court of Centerstate
Majority Opinion
This case revolves around two bickering adjacent neighbors. This court, and this justice, wishes they would settle this amicably out-of-court but it appears that is not possible. Now here I am questioning my life’s decisions and career path. I thought I would be saving the world using my gavel, notions of justice, and faith in our blessed Constitution of the United States, but instead I am serving as a judge on a court that has to decide cases about freaking flowers falling on a neighbor’s lawn.
Seven years ago, Mo planted hop rhizomes on his property in order to add piney and bitter notes to his (quite good) home-brewed beer. Three years later, the hop vines were massive—MASSIVE! Held on trellises, these bad boys reached fifteen feet. Each spring and summer, the vines produced hop flowers. Some of these would inevitably fall onto Tta’s property. When this happened, Mo would go onto his neighbor’s property and grab the hop flowers. He did not ask for permission. This angered Tta who told Mo to never come onto his property again. Mo claimed that the flowers belonged to him and, because they were his property, he could access Tta’s property to retrieve them. And so the dispute was born and my life ruined. Whenever Mo saw a flower on Tta’s land, he would race onto the property to retrieve it. And whenever Tta saw flowers on his land, he would run out and crush the flower with the heel of his steel-toed boot.
Mo sued Tta for conversion of property. Tta counterclaimed for trespassing. This is where things get interesting. According to Morrison v. Jae, the owner of an apple tree may enter their neighbor’s property to retrieve apples that fall onto it. However, according to Brooks v. Finley, the owner of a tomato vine loses all rights to tomatoes that fall off of their tomato plants onto their neighbor’s property. Basically, these cases all come down to the differences between trees and vines and the differences between apples and tomatoes. So, here we are, trying to figure out whether hop plants are more like apple trees or tomato vines, and whether a hop flower is more like an apple or a tomato. In one sense, hop plants are more akin to tomato plants since they both grow on vines. According to the court in Brooks, this is significant because vines are naturally unruly and must be maintained and pruned; trees are more set in their ways. In another sense, however, hops are more like apples because, when they fall, not much happens—they remain whole. Tomatoes, on the other hand, when they fall, often squish on the ground. The court in Brooks details how a squished tomato would be difficult to retrieve without ruining the neighbor’s property. They also note that a squished tomato is essentially worthless anyhow.
The trial court found for Mo, arguing that hop flowers were more akin to apples than tomatoes, despite being on a vine. They dismissed Tta’s claim of trespassing. The appellate court affirmed. We agree with them for the reasons listed above.

Chapter 10 of the text introduces DNA. Most of you will have some idea of what DNA is but the text information will provide a better understanding of how it is discoverable and its importance on a crime scene. The introduction of DNA technology changed criminal investigations forever. As with fingerprints, there is an expectation that investigators will search for and collect DNA evidence at all scenes. Search and collection methods will be determined most often by the investigator’s agency. Gathering and processing DNA evidence is usually expensive; therefore, budgetary issues are a factor. For some time, the notion of someone transferring DNA to a crime scene was not considered. I would speculate that even today, most people today have not heard of transfer DNA and are still under the impression that if DNA exists on a scene, the person to whom the DNA must have been present. We now know this is not always the case. With the information you learn regarding this topic, you will write a 3-page paper (not including cover and citation pages) discussing the concept of transfer DNA. To get started, read the article on transfer DNA that I have posted. Next, conduct research and find an example of a case that involved transfer DNA. With the information from these two sources, write your paper including answers to the following prompts: • What are the main findings of the article? • How might these findings impact criminal investigations involving DNA in the future? • What suggestions for future research/experiments might be needed when investigating the transferability of DNA? • What are the facts of the case you located? • How has the case been impacted by transfer DNA? • What steps should be taken to increase awareness of transfer DNA and combat the CSI effect on jurors? You may include any other information to convey the message and your opinion of the subject. You will need to cite at least two sources, which should be the article and your researched case. Include citation information in-text as well as on your citation page.
