After the second article told me you had to be in range of a tower, I went back to the first article and noticed my assumption was wrong. It also seems that the second article is giving me more information. I learned about “pings”, which is what your phone does when it is in range of the tower. Instead of simply saying cell phone data is helpful for prosecutors like the first article did, the second article gives an example of a murder case where cell phone records were used to find the killer. Like the Swartz article, Allen also informs his readers about the worry that information about the users are being given without a court order.

FTOverview As the CISO for VL Bank I was recently informed of the crime being committed against our customers. I have been tasked with investigating this crime and finding a swift resolution for our customers and to do everything within my power to bring the attacker(s) to justice. After carefully considering the document prepared by my information security analysts I have determined not only which laws apply to this crime but also the necessary steps taken to further the investigation and how to prevent security issues in the future. Two Laws that Apply to this Case After examining various case laws I have deduced the following laws apply in this case, they are the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Electronics Communications Privacy Act. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act explicitly states “when a trespass is made with an intent to defraud that results in both furthering the fraud and the attacker obtaining something of value” (Gallegos & Senft, 2009).
ASSIGNMENT 1 – Predictive Policing by Your name CIS 500 Professor: October, 2013 Predictive Policing Introduction During the years, the organization and practice of the police department has changed tremendously. These strategies in the past of many agencies, was to patrol the streets of the city or rely on a phone call to report a crime and then try to prevent it. Since there, information technology (IT) has become a very important part of law enforcement. This paper is going to compare and contrast the application of Information Technology (IT) to optimize police departments’ performance to reduce crime versus random patrols of the streets. One of their main jobs police patrol officers is, to protect people and property.
As a result, the police department and other city agencies now apply resources more efficiently to these fragile neighborhoods, ultimately preventing crime (p.1). The notion of predictive policing is attracting increasing attention from law enforcement agencies around the country as departments struggle to fight crime at a time when budgets are being slashed (Goode, 2011,p.1). Predicting crime with computer programs is in some ways a natural outgrowth of the technology that companies like Wal-Mart now use routinely to predict the buying habits of customers, said Scott Dickson, a crime analyst for the police department in Killeen, Texas (p.1). Efforts to systematically anticipate when and where crimes will occur are being tried out in several cities. The Chicago Police Department, for example, created a predictive analytics unit last year
Statute of Westminster involved everyday citizens in policing and preventing crime. This statute required citizens to help the police in the apprehension and prevention of crime. If the citizens did not help then they were subject to fines. The laws that were laid out early in history have affected today's security system because each new improvement builds on the system before it. The people who designed the system would take the best from the one prior and add in things that they thought would be beneficial.
Some principles that serve as a traditional model for police forces today are public the accessible headquarters, having a central location and using crime rates to determine the effectiveness of policing. Law enforcement in America began to utilize and implement ideas in order to establish a much better rapport with the American citizens. One of their first means was that of adding professionalism to law enforcement. In doing so, they created new state police organizations because of many corruptive one that were misleading, dishonorable, and not a “fan” for the citizens they were supposed to be protecting. Because of this vast change, police really sought out to change the personified image of law enforcement as a collective whole (Lentz & Chaires, 2007).
Planning and Threat Assessment Kristie Hamner CJA/585 November 28, 2011 Mr. Breckinridge Planning and Threat Assessment Planning and threat assessment involving violent criminal behavior of threatening attacks on public figures has been increasing over the past years. Law enforcement and security officers are aiming for prevention as an important element of control strategies. The issue in this analysis is planning and threat assessment on a hypothetical person who seeks persona notoriety and his behavior renders him controversial and vulnerable to threats. This planning and threat assessment describes the challenges in a hypothetical scenario (Holden, 1995). First, identifying main individuals in a security plan as follows, for instance vehicles will have armor, but will include medical care, water, and fire extinguishers.
The civil service procedures are a major feature of American police organizations. The civil service allows the police departments to hire new personnel based on a request from the police department. The civil service develops job descriptions for each police position, announces the job openings, and establishes the minimum standards for each position (U.S. Department of State, 2012). The civil service conducts some policing tests for advancement and will usually confirm a list of persons to be hired or promoted to the police department (U.S. Department of State, 2012). One can see the importance of civil service to the American policing system because the need for a check and balances system, which does not give one person or group complete control to make decisions.
As an example of the effectiveness of risk communication and the importance of the involvement of different parties, we should look at the Secured by design (SBD) award scheme, that aims at encouraging housing developers to design out crime at the concept or planning stage, some of the stakeholders involved include the Police force (Architectural liaison officers), architects & local government officials, this is an evolving process that must keep abreast of current trends and criminal developments (which it has done) security managers would do well to take note of the effectiveness, the original evaluation of SBD within West Yorkshire revealed positive findings, and many felt that there was little point re-assessing the effectiveness of SBD, given that the research had shown SBD to be effective. However, to be complacent about the merits of SBD, or any crime prevention
