Today is September 14th, 2015. I arrived at the Criminal Investigation Unit at 6:43 pm and left at 10:45 pm. There were twenty-five pending cases. I read every case and assigned to the corresponding detective. After that, I answered the phones for about three hours. I was able to transfer some calls to the detectives and got messages for the detectives that were not available. Today was a very slow. Some of the detectives were just playing with their phones or others were just watching the football game. I just stayed at my desk and made sure I answered the phone when it rang. I noticed today that some of the detectives got distracted with other unrelated work activities. The lack of supervision is a problem in this unit. Even the Sergeant …show more content…
This agency is overwhelmed with cases, so every detective should be trying to contact people in their cases to find a suspect. I started to notice a new problem in the agency. I understand sometimes we may get distracted while working, but when I sensed some detectives are spending a lot more time with other things, it makes me wonder. Today is September 15th, 2015. I arrived at 5:47 pm and left at 11:02. When I got to the office, a police officer was coming to the unit with two detained young guys. Detective Robinson was getting ready to interview one of them. The case was about a residential burglary when one of the suspects dropped his phone while stealing the victim's television. The police officer was able to track the owner of the phone and arrested both him and his friend. Detective Robinson and I entered the interview room where one of the suspects was waiting. The young person was a 17-year-old African American. He was the owner of the cell phone. The suspect said that he gave the phone to his friend before his friend decided to go the victim's apartment. He had no idea he was stealing. Detective Robinson told him his friend version of …show more content…
I arrived at the office at 6:05 pm and left at 11:01 pm. When I arrived, there were two homeland security federal agents outside the building. They were working with Detective Robinson with a theft case. They came in and then when to the interview room with Detective Robinson for about one hour. After the federal agents had left, Detective Robinson told me that the woman they were interviewing happened to steal from an important person who works for FEMA, so the federal agency had to interfere with the investigation. They did not arrest the suspect; however, they told her they would eventually. The suspect did not realize when she was in the interview room by herself; they were watching her in the observation room. She called somebody and said she was not going to tell the truth. They were recording the interview, and they continue recording while she was alone in the room. Today I learned that homeland security agents will get involved in theft crimes is the criminal steals from somebody that works with

❖ Leadership: When doing a high profile investigation many problems arise in leadership. They are faces with pressures from victims’ families, media as well as political executives. The main goal is to catch the offender and arrest and prosecute them. They all agree that the cases should be handled by homicide investigators who know how to work the case and that supervisor need to intervene with higher up personnel.
This essay will outline how crime theories are able to assist in recognizing the causes of criminal activity, as well as demonstrating two criminological theories to two particular crimes. Overviews of trends, dimensions and victim/offenders characteristics of both crime groups will be specified. The two particular crimes that will be demonstrated throughout this essay are; Violent Crime (focusing on Assault) being linked with social learning theory and White Collar crime (focusing on terrorism) being linked to General Strain theory. In criminology, determining the motive of why people commit crimes is crucial. Over the years, many theories have been developed and they continue to be studied as criminologists pursue the best answers in eventually diminishing certain types of crime including assaults and terrorism, which will be focused on.
I notified dispatch that Officer Albert and I were out at the RSC. I parked our patrol car on the north side of the RSC and entered the north door. I heard Officer Smith on the radio say he was out with the subject near the Credit Union. I observed from across the RSC Officer J. Smith and Officer R. Faison standing next to a black male all the way by the Book Store. As I walked closer, I could see the black male with both of his hands up in the air and he was getting down on both of his knees. When I got to the Credit Union, I saw a set of crutches and a black bag laying on the floor. I told Officer Albert to stay here with these items as I continued to go behind the black male. Officer Faison kept trying to talk to the subject but he was clearly ignoring him. The subject who was later identified as
CW went to 1261 Everton Dr, Apt 9 Akron, OH 44307 because they were called out by Akron Police Department (APD) for allegations of abuse towards 2 children. CW Jonathon Henry and CW Sonya Cole pulled up to the apartment complex and observed that there were over 15 people sitting outside. Both CW could tell that this was the correct address because there were 3 police cars that were sitting outside. As the CW's were walking towards the apartment complex an APD officer asked if the two workers were from CSB. CW Cold responded that they were. The officer then told CW's that there were not 2 children, however, there was 3. The officer stated that there was one child in the bedroom sleeping that they did not know was in the home. CW's were also told by the officer that Mr. Brian Burrell (AP) was in the home and that he was very agitated. The officer told the CW that they had called him down, however, suspected that he would get upset after entering the home. The officer also said that he already knew that the kids were in the custody of CSB and that he would most likely not be happy that the two CW's were at the home. The officer the led both the CW upstairs to apartment 9.
Jalen was placed in the rear of my marked Police vehicle. Prior to entering my vehicle, I completed as search of Jalen’s clothing.

Collins would later take the phone for evidence. Marlon was placed in the rear of Officer Baker’s marked Police vehicle. Both were transported to 1337 Copperstone Circle, where the vehicle was located. I gathered Jalen’s parent information at this time.
Since the time that the scientific science dramatization "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" turned into a tremendous hit and generated its fans, reporters have been worried about what they instituted the "CSI Effect." The hypothesis behind the effect is that fans of the well-known show disguise misguided judgments about the law that they bring with them into the court as jurors. In this way, the trepidation is that the TV show is at last influencing the results of trials - and not in a great manner. Criminal justice researchers have started to study the inquiry of whether nationals who are called to serve on juries bring unreasonable desires and convictions to the court as a consequence of TV projects. The impact that these projects may have on the jurors, their desires, and their choices is known as the CSI effect.
Most people get killed over what is known as the “Code of The Street.” In the movie it shows that their code of the street was revenge. They killed Ricky Doughboy and his friends killed them. It also shows that violence and crime happens all over something petty. In one scene in the movie they show Ferris walking into Ricky
On 02/27/2017, I, Dillon Dickerson, badge #155, was working as a Patrol Officer for the Wichita State University Police Department (WSU PD), in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. At approximately 2300 hours during our shift briefing second shift advised we may have to do some follow up to a case they had earlier in the shift. Officer Ben Gabel #152 was the one who took the case. Officer Gabel advised there was a Battery case which happened earlier in the day. This case involved two students.

Officer Gable stated the female half of the Battery (Jessica Johnson) would be leaving campus around 0130 hours to return to Texas. Officer Gabel advised he told the female half to call WSU PD and we would come out there to make sure she was safe while she packed up her items.

In the Bronx, there are countless of unsolved crime at the police department precinct, just waiting to be solved. However, due to the shortage of policeman power in the precincts located in the Bronx, and with many detectives with a caseload of about 300 to 400 cases per year, it’s impossible for the detectives to keep-up. According to the deployment analysis obtained by The New York Times most of the detective have a caseload of twice as the recommended for precincts with such high violence rate with the department. “The Times's deployment analysis grew out of a series of articles about murder in the 40th Precinct, a two-square-mile section of the South Bronx, where three detectives last year carried more than 400 cases and many others had loads in the high 300's, markedly more than the 150 cases per year the department recommends for precincts with high rates of violent crime.”
On 05-11-16 at approximately 1800 hours, I was dispatched to a concerned citizen in the justice training center neighborhood. I arrived at 1810 hours and a white male adult with a mustache approached me, later identified as W01-Walker. He said his neighbor was being a nuisance because the couple living there are always arguing. W01-Walker said, “It is a necessity that you go talk to my neighbors” and “this neighborhood was livable before they moved in.” I radioed dispatch that there was a possible domestic violence dispute next door and told W01-Walker to stay inside. My partner arrived and we went next door.

Shortly later she left his friend's home and he began receiving text messages from her which he showed Officers the messages. She messaged him saying his door was locked and he replied I know. She then sent another message saying "I got in lol." Grady said the
Law enforcement, in some form, has existed for centuries and since its creation there has been numerous improvements. Improvements have come about because of community changes and the need for more effective ways of policing the people. As crimes became more fierce and complex so did the need for the investigation and solving of these crimes. Criminal investigative techniques were not just born from thin air, some thought and planning had to go into figuring out the proper ways to go about doing things. Pioneers of the criminal justice and criminal investigation field such as August Vollmer, Alphonse Bertillon, Edward Henry, and Edmond Locard have made superior contributions to the development of criminal investigative techniques. These techniques have impacted the way police operate today and set a substantial base for law enforcement to build on.
Line-level law enforcement officers, investigators supervisors, and police executives are more educated and sophisticated with technology in their arsenal to enhance job performance. Despite having better education, training, equipment, access to specialized resources, and information, law enforcement agencies struggle with sharing power with their workforce. The result of this failure to modernize leaves law enforcement officers going through the motions and working at less than maximum efficiency.
Criminal Justice and Police Managers must confront numerous environmental factors. Some tactics those managers might employ to control their environment is like I and another classmate Justine mentioned earlier on Week 1’s discussion SOP's and SOG's sometimes are environmental factors and depending on the structural order of that department especially if they are accredited. Personnel Code of Conduct and Officer's Duties if not followed are harder expressed if not met .Falling under this category as well would be such duties performed not mattering, what shift your working involving vehicle pursuit, arrests, and investigative activities and searches and even tickets given.
