Good morning Professor,

As the first responding officer at the scene of a crime, my duty is to

1.I would be thinking about securing the scene along with making sure that the area was safe not only for myself but other officers, and other bystanders who may be watching the area. Also, I would approach the scene very carefully making sure not to disturb or contaminate the scene. I would pay attention to those around the area and any cars that may be present paying close attention to those around in case someone starts acting suspiciously or tries to leave in a hurry.

2.If the crime scene was in plain view and laying in front of a property or if the scene is inside of a residence then certain protocols must be taken to obtain a search warrant if the scene is inside a home so that a proper search could be made and the scene secured. If the scene is on a street then it is in plain view and no search warrant is required.

3.To be mindful of the surroundings making sure there are no possible threats to others such as dangerous people, or dangerous chemicals, or hazardous materials in the area if such things are found then back up is required of other officers or EMTs or the fire department to oversee the threats that may be posed.

NOTE: You have thoroughly filled out the Pre-sentence Investigation Report (Adult) Report is completed in its entirety by making the necessary assumptions and creating the facts that are not included in the scenario, and you articulated the circumstances of the scenario in a narrative, as appropriate. However, your safe assign overall match % is too high I know that you can bring the overall % similarity to manageable chunk on the next assignment narrative, as appropriate.

Week 4 DQ

Part 1: Research Can go a Long Way for Hiring the Right “Players”

Top of Form

From talking to past employers to doing social media research, getting to know a candidate beyond their resume is crucial. As Coach has learned from working with hundreds of professional athletes, a player’s potential has more to do with their character than their stats. This week, we look at how a little research can go a long way toward finding the players that will help your team reach its goals. Read the Careerbuilder article that is a part of your weekly readings about employers using Social Media to help them evaluate job applicants. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using social media as a research tool? What’s one thing you would change in your social media presence if you were looking for a job, and why?

Note: To receive full credit, remember also to write 2 posts in the discussion: one original and a response to another student. Remember one or two sentences does not qualify as a substantive learning post for both original and peer responses.  Show off what you have learned!

ItRE: Research Can go a Long Way for Hiring the Right “Players”

Top of Form

Hello professor and classmates. This is a valuable tool to discuss especially when still actively pursuing a career. In the article it states that approximately 70 percent of all employers will do some amount of social media research on potential candidates. This is understandable considering most employers want to see a side of who they may hire that they may not be so open with in an interview. Often times an employer can go on social media accounts and find out specific information about candidates such as family oriented activities, other past times, major characteristics of the candidate can be seen by simply scrolling their pages. Employers may look to see if the person has ever bad mouthed a former employer, how they carry themselves online, as well as any drug use or illegal activity the candidate may be involved in. Knowing that over half of employers go online to research possible employees it should surely make you consider being more conscientious about any and all information you allow on social media. You should never be negative or talk badly about past, present, or future employers. This creates an unprofessional attitude for any potential employer who may view your social media. Also be sure to use good language, watch profanity, do not brag about wild nights out, or allow others to post things that shouldn’t be public knowledge. If you do all of these things and present an open, well rounded personality even on your social media pages it will surely help an employer feel more confident in moving forward with the hiring process with you.

Note about this assignment: To ensure students are properly placed into the English courses that will best set them up for successful college writing, it is customary for students to have their writing skills assessed. For students without transfer credit for college-level English courses, the writing you provide in Assignment 2 will be assessed to determine whether you should be placed into ENG090 or into ENG116.

Assignment 2 Template: Reflecting on Your Skills, Goals, and Accomplishments

Part 1: About Me

Answer the following questions to capture how you see yourself in terms of values, aspirations, key qualities, goals, strengths, and areas of growth:

1) Describe your values, motivations or aspirations in your own words.

2) Describe some of your main personal, academic, and professional goals. Make sure to write five or more complete sentences.

3) What are some of your strength areas? Think about the top 2–3 skills you would advertise about yourself, or consider what others come to you for advice about. Make sure to write five or more complete sentences.

4) What are some areas you would like to grow and improve in? Make sure to write five or more complete sentences.

Part 2: Accomplishment Statements

Accomplishments don’t have to be as large as climbing the top of Mount Everest or starting your own company. We accomplish many things in our lives every day that have meaning. For example, perhaps you organized volunteers for your school’s food drive or made an extremely profitable sale. Or, if you’re more advanced in your career, perhaps you’ve received a promotion or special recognition.

In this part of the assignment, you’ll identify two accomplishments from work, school, volunteering, or other activities. You’ll then practice communicating these in ways appropriate for a résumé.

To begin, brainstorm accomplishments from your work, school, volunteering, or other activities. Read the

Accomplishment Categories

section for a list. After you’ve identified two accomplishments, write statements for each accomplishment using the information below:

Step 1: Think about each of your accomplishments in these terms:

Challenge

Situation, problem, or requirement.

Action

Specific actions you took to resolve or meet the challenge.

Result

The benefit created in specific and measurable terms. Be sure to tie results to the organization’s goals when possible.

Details

Clarifying details, such as numbers or percentages, to provide context (consider answering how many, how much, how long, or how often).

Consider the example below of someone with experience as a retail manager:

Challenge

An increase in customer complaints about the helpfulness of staff.

Action

Developed a new training program for staff, got approval from district manager, and once approved implemented it with a regular review process.

Result

After 3 months, customer complaints decreased.

Details

Previously, customer complaints averaged 4 per week.
After 3 months, complaints averaged 1 or less per week.

Step 2: Write two accomplishment statements to practice using this format:

Challenge

Action

Result

Details

Challenge

Action

Result

Details

Step 3: Now, try writing your two accomplishment statements concisely for a résumé (you will not be completing a resume). Use either example format below to write your accomplishments:

Accomplishment Statement 1: Result + action + brief description including clarifying details.

Example: Decreased customer complaints from 3 per week to 1 or less per week by training staff and implementing a regular review process.

Accomplishment Statement 2: Action + brief description with clarifying details + results.

Example: Trained retail staff in customer-service techniques and implemented a regular review process, decreasing customer complaints from 3 per week to 1 or less per week.
