CCJS 340 Full Course-Latest 2017 November

Question Week 1 discussion DQ1 Police Culture There has been a great deal of discussion over the years (and even more recently) about police culture. Whether it is the uniforms, the "blue wall of silence" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfLwdyMbSHE), the rank structure or the way officers are perceived by the public, police culture is complex. However, not all law enforcement agencies are the same. In fact, there are significant differences between agencies. And culture is very powerful. There is an old saying in law enforcement that "culture trumps policy every time." Please read and view the learning resources for this week. To illustrate some significant differences between agencies, please take a look at the following videos: California Highway Patrol video about life in the Academy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCKnBt_UjJ0) Norman (OK) Police Department recruiting video (https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=og9XfIuQp4I). Then do a little research of your own. Locate videos or other information on the internet (and please include the appropriate links). Compare and contrast the culture of two other police agencies (not CHP or Nornam PD). Please don't simply copy and paste information from the respective websites - come up with your own opinions. Focus on videos and other information produced by the agency itself, not outside sources. What makes them unique? How are they the same? Do they appear traditional or progressive. Is their website obsolete or cutting edge? Do they try to appear as "law and order" take no nonsense officers or do they appear open and friendly? Is one better suited to perform their mission in today's environment than the other? If you were considering applying to a police agency, how would you learn about their culture to make sure you were a good "fit" for that agency? In addition to posting your answer, please be sure to respond to at least two of your classmates.

DQ2 Police / Military Comparison For many reasons, police agencies are often described as para-military or quasi-military organizations. This is evident in uniforms, chain of command, training, rank structure, etc. Please take a look at the following videos: Marine Corps Boot Camp video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckVNNF2khng) Maryland State Police video about life in the Academy (https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Hp6DeEHzzzQ) Is the Maryland State Police method still an appropriate way of training police officers in a time when the "militarization" of the police is being closely scrutinized? Does the need for self-discipline in extreme conditions and obedience of orders outweigh other concerns? Discuss the positives and negatives of this type of training. You must use this week's Learning Resources (and external sources, if you like) as a basis for your answer to this question and you must reference your sources. Providing only your opinion is not adequate. You must cite your sources properly. In addition to posting your answer, please be sure to respond to at least two of your classmates. Week 2 discussion DQ1 Organizational Structure The organization of a police department has a profound effect on the operations of the department. Ideally, roles and responsibilities should be well-defined. However, in smaller agencies, there may be one person wearing several hats. Please review Chapter 5, "A Primitive Theory of Police Organizational Structure" in Organizational Structure in American Police Agencies: Context, Complexity and Control. This is a very detailed overview of police organizational structure. Then, please take a look at the Police Chiefs Desk Reference. This is an excellent resource, but I don't expect you to read all 300 pages. Instead, begin on pages 20 and 21 which discuss organizational design and the five functional areas of a police department. Which functional area is most important? Why? If you had to cut personnel due to budget reductions, where would you cut? Why? (You cannot use Organizational Services as your answer. This is usually a part of the organization that is not heavily staffed and cuts from this are are not likely to have a significant effect.) You should support your opinions with other parts of the Police Chiefs Desk Reference or another outside source. In addition to posting your answer, please be sure to respond to at least two of your classmates. DQ2 Mission Statement

Criminal justice agencies (like all organizations) should have well-defined mission and vision statements. Many law enforcement agencies have "reinvented" themselves to be more community service oriented (as opposed to the hard-line, lock 'em up philosophy). Before completing this discussion, please review the Learning Resources for Week 2. You must cite at least one relevant resource (either from the class or from your own research) in your response. Do not use a federal agency for either of your selections. Please select a state, county or municipal agency.Review prior posts of other students. You may NOT select an agency that has already been used. 1. Please do some research and locate a mission or vision statement of a criminal justice agency that you believe is focuses more on traditional law and order. Please post it with the URL. 2. Please do some research and locate a mission or vision statement of a criminal justice agency that you believe is focuses more on the overall quality of life in the community. Please post it with the URL. 3.Which of the two mission statements is better in your opinion? Is it time to scrap the hard-line philosophy for a more inclusive approach? Or have some agencies gone too far to be inclusive and lost track of the fact that laws need to be enforced? Another resource that may be helpful may be found at https://www.policeone.com/chiefssheriffs/articles/5994593-5-things-I-hate-about-department-mission-statements/. If you are part of a criminal justice organization, you may use your own mission or vision statement or select one from another agency. I am not requiring that you post first so you are able to see what your classmates selected. However, please DO NOT DUPLICATE an agency that was already discussed by a classmate. Week 3 discussion DQ1 Program Funding When you look at the budget of a law enforcement agency, you will likely find that 80-85% of the dollars are spent on personnel (salaries, benefits, pensions). The next largest chunk is likely to be vehicles (which can vary significantly depending on whether take-home cars are provided). There is generally not a lot of regular funding available for new or innovative programs. As a result, many agencies look to grant funding to supplement their budgets. Please visit http://www.crimesolutions.gov. This is an excellent website that provides information about criminal justice programs, including funding and outcomes. Please select two programs from the website. They can be on any topic that you find interesting. One shoud be "effective" or "promising" and the other should be "no effect". Please discuss the details of the successful program, how it was funded and why it was determined to be successful. Then discuss the unsuccessful program and describe why it was unsuccessful. In your opinion, could something have been changed to make the program successful? I am not requiring that you post first so you are able to see what your classmates selected. However, please DO NOT DUPLICATE a program that was already discussed by a classmate.

DQ2 Cost/Benefit Analysis You are the assistant chief of a police agency that includes 285 officers (of all ranks) and 56 support personnel (dispatchers, clerical, etc.). You are adequately funded, but the budget is accounted for down to the last dollar - there is no "extra" money in the budget. Your chief became concerned this week after reading the "2016 Use of Force Summary" that was compiled by the commander of the Internal Affairs Division. While the number of times your officers used force was not excessive, there were many suspects who were injured during the arrest process. Your chief believes that this is likely because your officers do not have Tasers and they are required to use expandable batons and other techniques to subdue non-compliant suspects. In addition, several officers have been injured wrestling with suspects who resisted arrest. And while your officers have acted properly, a news report showing two of your officers using force during an arrest caused quite an uproar within the community after it was released on social media and later picked up by local news stations The chief asks you to investigate the feasibility of purchasing Tasers. The cost to outfit and train 190 patrol officers would be approximately $200,000. Since there is no funding in the budget for this equipment, the money would have to come from another part of the agency (or a budget increase would need to come from the mayor and this is unlikely). You are slated to purchase 30 vehicles this year at a cost of approximately $1,000,000 to replace some very high mileage vehicles that are in the shop more than they are on patrol. You are also slated to hire 10 new officers to replace senior officers who have retired. The result of the retirements has been a significant increase in overtime payments to cover vacant patrol shifts. Using "Advancing the Quality of Cost-Benefit Analysis for Justice Programs" (and any other sources you locate during independent research) as the basis for your response, evaluate the feasibility of purchasing Tasers. Discuss if there is information that you believe that you need to complete the evaluation that was not provided. What would you recommend to the chief and why? Please provide more than your opinion. Please be detailed in your response and support your response with the learning resources or outside sources. Week 4 discussion DQ1 Management vs. Leadership I am only posting one discussion topic this week. Please take your time and answer the questions below thoroughly and completely. And be sure to respond to two of your classmate's posts. You must use this week's Learning Resources (and external sources) as a basis for your answer to this question and you must reference your sources. Providing only your opinion is not adequate. You must cite your sources properly. Leadership is a hot topic these days. Whether you look at business or law enforcement, everyone is discussing the importance of leadership. At the same time, managers are viewed with disdain. Please review the Learning Resources for this week. Using the UMUC online library, please locate at least one journal article that discusses management and leadership. How would you describe the difference between a manager and a leader? Is one more important than

the other? Can a leader be successful without good managers.What are some important traits of an effective manager? What are some important traits of an effective leader? To receive full credit for this discussion, you must cite one source from this week's learning resources and one additional scholarly source from the UMUC library. DQ2 Leaders vs. Followers Just for fun, please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW8amMCVAJQ This is a great video on leadership and the importance of the first follower Week 5 discussion DQ1 Community Policing For this discussion, please use the Learning Resources or another scholarly article as a basis for your answer and cite the source appropriately. Community Policing has been the touted as the way to "fix" communities and to "fix" police departments for many years now. What is something specific that you believe actually will make policing better and improve the relationship between the police and the community? Why? Are there some downsides to your suggestion? For example, if you chose body cameras as a way to improve accountability and trust in the community, cost and union issues could be some of the downsides. Of course your discussion should include much more detail than this one-sentence summary. And please do not select body cameras as your idea. DQ2 21st Century Policing The Final Report of the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing (https://cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/taskforce/taskforce_finalreport.pdf) was released last year. It includes numerous recommendations for police agencies to implement now and in the future. It was not without controversy, however. There have been concerns voiced about some of the recommendations (see, for example, http://www.fop.net/legislative/TaskForceAnalysisSummary.pdf). For this discussion, please review the Report. You will notice that there are numerous "Recommendations" and under each Recommendation are "Action Items." Please select one action item that you think will have a major positive impact if it is implemented and discuss why. Then select an Action Items that you believe is not a good idea or that you believe will have little or no effect and discuss why. You should support your opinions with outside sources where appropriate (in other words, your answer should be more than just "I think that...."). Week 6 discussion DQ1 Police Unions

Unions for police officers vary significantly from state to state and even from department to department. Some unions are extremely powerful and are able to secure numerous benefits for their members through collective bargaining and binding arbitration. However in some state is illegal for police officers to form a union or engage in collective bargaining. Please familiarize yourself with the learning resources and do some additional research so you can answer the following question: You are the chief of a city police department with 120 officers. The relationship between the officers, supervisors and administrators is generally good, although you have your share of issues as any department does. One of the officers just informed you that your officers have voted to form a union (which is legal in your state). He assures you that it is not because of anything you did as the chief; they simply want to speak with a unified voice. You are now meeting with the mayor of your city to brief him about this development. He asks you if you are for or against this new union? You must choose a side. How would you respond? Why? You must support your response with at least one reference from this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning resources and one additional outside reference. DQ2 LEOBR BEFORE YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION, please understand that: LEOBR ONLY applies to administrative investigations of misconduct, NOT criminal investigations. While I am not an expert on the laws of every state, LEOBR generally does not offer protections during criminal investigations. Unlike a criminal suspect who can invoke his Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to answer the questions of an investigator, an officer can be ordered to answer a questions related to an administrative investigation and, in some cases, can be fired for refusing to answer. Many states have what is known as a Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights. In summary, these statutes protect police officers who are charged with misconduct by providing them with certain rights (procedures that must be followed, prohibitions on what the department may do, etc.). In light of the Freddy Gray case, Maryland legislators just made changes to the LEOBR. Please review the learning resources for this week. Also, please read the article shown below that provides a good overview of the LEOBR. Then discuss the following: 1. From the perspective of a police chief, is there a specific part of the LEOBR that is particularly troubling or that you believe interferes with your ability to manage the agency? Why? How would you change it? 2. From the perspective of a police officer, is there a particular part of the LEOBR that you believe is especially important for your protection? Are there additional protections that should be added to the LEOBR to protect police officers? Why? LEOBR Overview: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/27/law-enforcement-bill-ofrights_n_7153106.html Maryland's LEOBR: http://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2010/public-safety/title3/subtitle-1/3-104/ Week 7 discussion DQ1

Accreditation This week's learning resources discuss innovation. While there are obvious innovations (from the telephone to the computer), there is also a need to keep the entire agency current. One way that agencies do this is through the accreditation. Please research the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). Also, please do some research on state-level accreditation (this is not done in all states). For this discussion, you are to assume the role of the captain in charge of the Planning & Research Division of a city police agency with 500 officers. Your chief has asked you to evaluates accreditation and determine if it makes sense for your department. Discuss the pros and cons of CALEA accreditation in detail. What would you recommend to your chief? (You must take a side.) If you are a member of an accredited police agency, please share your opinion based on your experience. DQ2 Innovation Law enforcement organizations are notoriously slow to change. This week's learning resources discuss innovations in policing. Please review the learning resources and select an innovation from the learning resources that you believe has had a significant impact on law enforcement. Also, please do some research and try to locate something that was not mentioned in the learning resources that you think will have a significant impact on policing. Please discuss these innovations and why you believe they are so important. Week 8 discussion DQ1 Police Use of Force No Emotion - Only Facts I am not going to participate in this discussion. It will be a discussion only for students because I don't want to sway your opinions. It is especially important that you interact with at least two of your classmates. You will be graded primarily on the quality of your reasoning and support from legitimate outside sources. Listening to many in the media and on the national stage, it would be reasonable to conclude that police shoot many unarmed black men for no reason. They claim it is an epidemic that needs to be addressed. There are many articles such as http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/philando-castile-nojustice_us_59444c46e4b0f15cd5bb6415 and http://www.theroot.com/white-men-cantmurder-why-white-cops-are-immune-to-the-1796309966 that discuss the issue. Football fans are familiar with NFL players sitting or taking a knee during the National Anthem to "to protest police violence against African-Americans" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/25/opinion/nfl-football-kaepernick-take-knee.html. On the other side are some who argue that claims that police targeting of minorities is not true http://www.nationalreview.com/article/449505/police-shootings-black-men-race-notreason-causal-effect. Some argue that the accusations of police killings is actually distracting people from the real issue http://nypost.com/2017/09/26/all-that-kneelingignores-the-real-cause-of-soaring-black-homicides/.

The Washington Post has maintained a database that contains all citizens killed by the police https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2017/. This is a very good source of factual information. So, what is the answer? Are police killing black men disproportionately? You must provide a FACTUALLY BASED answer using reputable sources. Please remember that police are allowed to use deadly force against an unarmed person if they have legal justification to do so. DQ2 Wrap Up As class comes to an end, I would like your input and suggestions. What did you enjoy about the class? What could be improved? I have enjoyed this class and I think that we have had some very good discussions. I value your input and hope to use what I learn from you to improve classes in the future. Your responses will not affect your final grades. Mini Paper Very limited directly quoted material may be used in this project paper. Resources should generally be summarized or paraphrased with appropriate in-text and Resource page citations. Mini-Papers are single page reflections on a question or exercise. The paper is an opportunity for the student to demonstrate their comprehension of the course material and to apply it to the situation presented. The paper is also an opportunity for the student to demonstrate composition skills. Feedback will be provided for both content and composition Assignment: In the week that includes the Mini-Paper, a separate assignment will appear in the Discussion section of the classroom. These special Mini-Paper questions are NOT to be answered in the Discussions. The one-page response is to be submitted as a MS WORD document to the assignments folder by the due date specified. Format: One full page, headed with the student's name. Narrative must be double spaced, with 1 inch margins, written in #12 font. References from the reading materials must be cited in the narrative (page number). For some Mini-papers, outside sources will be required; to be cited in APA format on a separate page. Project 1 Very limited directly quoted material may be used in this project paper. Resources should generally be summarized or paraphrased with appropriate in-text and Resource page citations. Project 1: Departmental Project: Strategic Plan Project Assignment: As a member of the Virtual Police Department's Administrative Services Unit you have been called into a meeting with your supervisor, several other police commanders, and the Chief of the Virtual Police Department. This is what you are told by the head of the Criminal Intelligence Unit. Several jurisdictions in the vicinity of Virtual have experiences “Flash Robs”. These are groups of teenagers and young adults, both men and women, who descend on a commercial

store and, on a given signal, grab as much merchandise as they can carry and flee the store in mass. The size of the group and the quickness of their action made apprehension almost impossible for the overwhelmed store employees. Targeted stores range from sporting goods outlets, and electronic shops, to pharmacies and liquor stores. There is some evidence that the mob is organized by codes using social media. The Virtual Small Business Association is petitioning the Mayor for a plan to ensure these mobs to not attack the downtown business area. They are insisting on more police presence (particularly during peak business hours) and closer cooperation between the police and their own private security. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;partnerâ&#x20AC;? agencies within the criminal justice system. The Administrative Services 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 departmentalunits 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: All of Patrol (Commanders A, B and C, Captains, Lieutenants, Sergeants, COPs and Patrol Officers) is 1 single unit. If patrol is selected as part of the task force the requirements in #2 below must be completed. ALSO: Selection of a "Commander" (e.g., Special Operations Commander) as a Unit includes the official and their immediate office staff. It does not include each of the subordinate units. 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 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 reduction in violent crime goal. 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. To complete the 8 unit task force, you will also identify 2 non-departmental units from the criminal justice system that should be included in some manner on the task force a) Identify the unit and briefly describe its typical operational/administrative role and regular duties in the criminal justice system b) Explain why the unit was chosen for this task force, what role it will play on the task force In order to present a convincing argument and demonstrate the depth of your research you may include supportive outside resources. If you do use outside resources (or course

materials) you must acknowledge them using appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) citation format. Again, the goal of this project is to give you an opportunity to determine, analyze and assess the role of various police department units, their relationship to other units, and how their skills can be applied to counter criminal activity. Format: Four (4) FULL narrative pages, not including cover page and references page. The cover page should include the name and number of the course, the name of the student, title of the project and the date of submission. The composition may be a combination of outline and narrative with outline statements separated by no more than double spacing. The description of the function and relationship of each unit should be presented as narrative. This is a formal presentation from the Chief of the Virtual Police Department to the Mayor. As such, it should be written is the third grammatical person. Resources, including course materials, must be cited both in the narrative where appropriate and on a separate references page, using APA citation rules. Projects should be submitted using the Assignment Folder unless instructed otherwise. At the instructor’s discretion, this project may be submitted to Turnitin or other service for verification of originality. Project 2 - Research Paper Very limited directly quoted material may be used in this project paper. Resources should generally be summarized or paraphrased with appropriate in-text and Resource page citations. Background: You are employed on the staff of the Association for Municipal Cities – a “think-tank” organization of researchers who take on projects for various mayors and city managers. You specialize in research on the organization and operation of the police department. The League’s latest client is the City of Virtual. The Virtual City Police Department was created 63 years ago. The department has emerged as one of the primary policing agencies in the state. It has become a modern police department with 155 sworn officers. There are 70 civilian employees appointed to positions ranging from clerical support to correctional officers to crime scene technicians. The department is considered “medium” size in the spectrum of police departments across the country. (The organizational chart is the same as the chart for Project 1.) You are informed that the Mayor is aware of some members of the City Council who are keenly interested in purchasing and deploying surveillance drones. These unmanned aircraft would be equipped with cameras which would feed real-time images to an intelligence center in the Virtual Police Department headquarters. While the drones would spend most of their "flight time" on patterned patrol, they could also be dispatched to support calls for service, locate suspects, track fleeing vehicles and otherwise serve in a response mode in support of "first responder" police units. The Mayor is also aware that there is opposition

from other members of the City council who may acknowledge some benefits to the surveillance drones, but who will challenge her on the cost, potential for Constitutionalbased privacy violations, etc. A significant number of councilpersons feel the money could be better spent on more sworn personnel and civilian technicians. The Mayor has asked the League to prepare a literature-research position paper for her on moving forward with this proposal (or not) based on the pros and cons uncovered in your research. She may ultimately use this objective research document as part of her portfolio on the appropriate use of technology in support of public safety. Assignment: As a member of the staff of the Association for Municipal Cities, you have been assigned to prepare a research paper for the Mayor of Virtual City on the purchase of the surveillance drones and initiation this support unit. She has asked that you present both the pros and cons as objectively as possible. Your personal recommendation is not part of this research report. Formatting requirements: Your report should include: A cover page with your name, project title, course, and date submitted An introductory section that explains the purpose of the paper Five (5) FULL narrative pages, +/- a half-page, (not including cover page and references page) separated by no more than double spacing, 12 pt. font, and 1 inch margins. The composition may be a combination of outline and narrative with outline statements and submit to the assignment folder. At least 4 external sources; 2 supporting police use of surveillance drones and 2 against them. External sources should come from the UMUC Library data base materials or other peerreview publications such as professional journals, peer-review articles, etc. Because these materials are more creditable, they will receive higher point consideration. Internet-based articles, news reports, etc. are also acceptable but may receive lower project point scores. Wikipedia is never an external resource. However, the footnoted material in Wikipedia may lead you to the original source document which may be acceptable as a creditable external source. Resources, including course materials, must be cited both in the narrative where appropriate and on a separate references page, using American Psychological Association (APA) citation rules. At the instructorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion, this project may be submitted to Turnitin or other service for verification of originality Due Date Final Project Very limited directly quoted material may be used in this project paper. Resources should generally be summarized or paraphrased with appropriate in-text and Resource page citations. Final Project: Case Study: Police Department Consent Decree/Agreement

Case Study: Police Department Consent Decree/Agreement You are assigned to the Research and Development Unit of the Virtual Police Department. The Unit Director asked you to prepare a presentation for the Chief on U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) consent decrees and agreements.It seems one of the Chief's close professional colleagues is now subject to such an agreement. The Chief wants to be sure he has done everything possible to avoid finding the Virtual Police Department in a similar predicament.The format of the presentation is quite simple. Using a selected city that is currently under (or recently been under) a DOJ consent decree/agreement as reference, provide the Chief with direction on how to avoid being subject to DOJ oversight. Review the document, "Addressing Police Misconduct Laws Enforced by the Department of Justice Link : /content/enforced/145914-001420-01-2165-OL1-6380/Police Misconduct Laws Enforced by DOJ.docx or the same document using an alternate link https://www.justice.gov/crt/addressing-police-misconduct-laws-enforced-departmentjustice Select one of the following as your subject case study police department: The Oakland (California) Police Department http://www2.oaklandnet.com/government/o/OPD/DOWD004998 and https://oaklandnorth.net/2011/12/20/twelve-years-after-the-riders-a-long-legal-process-isreaching-its-final-stage/ The Seattle (Washington) Police Department https://www.justice.gov/crt/investigationdocuments The Baltimore (Maryland) Police Department https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justicedepartment-reaches-agreement-city-baltimore-reform-police-department-s Research: Starting with the link provided, continue your research on the basis for and actions attentive to the subject consent decree/agreement, Review all of the pertinent documents, articles, websites, etc. until you feel you have a thorough understanding sufficient to respond to the Assignment questions.

The composition may be a combination of outline and narrative with outline statements separated by no more than double spacing, 12 pt. font, and 1 inch margins. A minimum of three (3) outside sources not directly connected to the consent decree/agreement of the selected subject police department Resources, including course materials, must be cited both in the narrative and on a separate Resources page, using APA citation rules. Each item listed on the Resources page must also be cited at least once in the narrative to show where in the narrative the item was applied. At the instructorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion, this project may be submitted to Turnitin or other service for verification of originality.
