We will also discuss the tactical SWAT team in terms of concepts used in class in a more theoretical and conceptual level. Also, we will also explore potential problems that might arise in practice. A special weapons and tactical team also known as a SWAT team is an elite tactical unit in various national law enforcement departments. They are trained to perform high-risk operations that fall outside of the abilities of regular officers. SWAT team members' duties include: performing hostage rescues and counter-terrorism operations; serving high risk arrest and search warrants; subduing barricaded suspects; and engaging heavily-armed criminals.
Forensic photography jobs are appealing to people who have good eye for detail and are very precise in the art of photography. Every image the photographer makes must be precise as possible so investigators have a clear picture that they could use for their work. Sometimes the photographer is required to shoot the same picture but from different angles in order for the evidence to be accurate. The pictures taken from the crime scene may be used in court as evidence if the case goes to trial. The photographer must understand his or her equipment, including the camera and flash.
They must follow very precise and orderly protocol when collecting or gathering evidence from the crime scene so it can be tested, and get the best results. A crime scene investigator must make sure that they label and mark all evidence collected at a crime scene so that they do not lose anything, have it in order, and no exactly what they have collected. They must make sure that they are knowledgeable of everything seen, heard, and collected from a crime scene because like any other job in the criminal justice world or job period they must also compose a very detailed, organized, and accurate report for each scene investigated. If need be they also must appear and testify in court to back up their findings, and make a statement of truth against the criminal involved. To me the crime scene investigator must use logical thought process, gather as much information they can from the crime scene, test everything theory possible and evidence collected to have proof of how they came to the conclusion, and end the case for both parties involved.
Crime Scene Investigation CRJ 320 Crime Scene Investigation One of the most important aspects of being trained in Law Enforcement is the ability to conduct a crime scene investigation. The ability to contain and not contaminate the crime scene while also gathering information is a daunting task for any individual. Taking steps to insure the scene is secure, wounded are cared for and that evidence remains intact are just a few of the necessary tasks. Attorney General Janet Reno once stated that “Actions taken in these first few hours of investigation at a crime scene can play a pivotal role in the resolution of a case. Careful, thorough investigation is key to ensuring+ the potential physical evidence is not tainted or destroyed or potential witnesses overlooked.
Police Brutality Police officers are tasked to protect and serve, that is there job. Everyday police officers risk their lives to protect ours. In some cases officers must use force to contain an unruly suspect and/or protect their own or another life. Police officers are given certain guidelines they must follow when deciding if force is necessary. Officers must use the minimum amount of force necessary when trying to contain a suspect, but that is not always the case.
Crime Scene Photography This paper will examine crime scene photography. Across the United States, law enforcement agencies are responsible for investigating crimes, arresting suspects, and providing necessary evidence to attorneys, judges and juries. To objectively do this, police need to gather accurate information and clearly explain the crime scene and physical evidence in a court of law. Some of this information includes the accurate documentation of the incident. This paper will examine such documentation using photography.
Many officers want the right to carry firearms. There are a few important reasons why they feel they should be allowed to carry. Officers are asked to perform high-risk tasks in order to monitor their caseloads. Parole and
The job of a police officer is to maintain public order, prevent, and detect crime. They are engaged in a dangerous and stressful occupation that can involve violent situations that must be controlled. In many of these confrontations with the public it may become necessary for the police to administer force to take control of a situation. In Kenya the situation has been like this before a new constitution came into place: • The President is the Commander in Chief of all Armed Forces including Prisons Department • He appoints ministers of Defense and Internal Security together with their assistants and Permanent Secretaries. They all have their offices in the Office of the President • He appoints all army Generals and Commandants, the Police Commissioner, the Admin Police and General Service Unit Commandants • He appoints all the eight Provincial Commissioners and 250 District
The Mid-range photo The purpose of the mid-range photograph is to document relationships between items of evidence or areas of importance (such as how close is the gun to the victim or the location of bloodstains to the point of entry). Mid-range photographs are the most common type of photograph shown to juries because they tend to support theories, reconstructions, or statutory elements of the crime
Responsibilities of different uniformed public services In this assignment I will be looking at the main responsibilities of two public services the police and the army. I will also be looking at the performance indicators and what they do on a daily basis. Police The responsibilities of a police officer are often extremely broad. Although their main responsibilities are usually keeping the peace, enforcing the law, protecting the public and property, and the prevention and detection of crimes, officers are usually expected to be able to respond in some fashion to a wide variety of situations that may arise while they are on duty. The actual purpose of the police in theory is to deter crime before it happens.
