Explain the steps in the
decision making model
and the application of
PLUS filers.STEP 1- Define the problem, being aware that how you
define the problem determines where and how you will
look for solutions.
STEP 2- Identify alternative solutions available to
address the problem—at a minimum three and, ideally,
more than five.
STEP 3- Evaluate the identified alternatives— list the
pros and cons of each; differentiate between known
facts and personal beliefs about the situation.
STEP 4- Make the decision
STEP 5- Implement the decision
STEP 6- Evaluate the decision
P=Policies: is it consistent with my agency's policies
and procedures?
L=Legal: is the action lawful?
U=Universal: Does it conform to the universal principles
and values of my agency?
S=Self: Does it align with my beliefs of what is right,
good, and fair?
Step 1 (I.e., define the problem)-Does the existing
situation violate any PLUS considerations?
Step3 (I.e., evaluate alternative solutions)- Do the
alternative resolve or create Plus considerations and, if
so, are the ethical trade offs acceptable?
Step 6(i.e., evaluate the decision)- does the solution
resolve all PLUS considerations, or were unintended or
unforeseen PLUS considerations created?
List a peace officer's main
goals-Enforce Law
-Preserve the Peace
-Prevent Crimes
-Protect Civil Right and Liberties
-Provide Services
Explain Items to consider
when exercising discretion-Use sound judgment to determine which laws are to be
formally enforced
Example:
-An officer stops a vehicle for speeding. Issuing a
citation is formally enforcing the law. Issuing a warning
is informally enforcing the law.
-Determine if there is a more constructive remedy to a
situation without an arrest or citation(e.g., referring a
homeless person to a shelter rather than a trespassing
arrest)
-The origin of the complaint also plays a role in
discretion.
-If the complaint is initiated by a citizen, the officer will
likely feel more pressure to arrest or issue a
citation/summons.
-However, if the complaint is self-generated, the officer
is more likely to exercise discretion.
nursing Explain the factors
necessary for the
commission of a crime.
(i.e., the Crime Triangle)DESIRE
- Motivation behind criminal behavior. (e.g., financial
gain, power, revenge, fear, narcotics usage)
-This factor is the most difficult to change.
VICTIM
-The potential target.
-Criminals prefer an easy target that is unaware of
his/her surroundings or lacking proper security
precautions.
-Difficult to change this factor due to individual
personalities.
OPPORTUNITY
-Removing opportunity for crime with proper security
measures applied to the victim's environment(e.g.,
locking doors/windows, removing valuables from open
view, good lighting)
-Most effective area to concentrate crime prevention
strategies.
State the core concepts of
community policing-A partnership between the police and the community
-Crime Prevention
-Organizational change of the agency
-A problem-solving approach to the police role that is
proactive.
Recognize considerations
for off duty situations**BEHAVIOR**
-An officer's behavior is often scrutinized by the
community even when not on duty.
-Not only does this refer to physical and verbal actions,
but also online activity on social media.
-An officer is expected to uphold the law enforcement
code of ethics.
**SITUATIONAL AWARENESS**
-An officer should make every effort to remain alert
even when not working
-You never know when you may need to transition
quickly from a private citizen to a peace officer.
-Make certain to preplan with your family should a
situation arise while together. Create a number of
scenarios for your family to practice
-Familiarize yourself with your agency's off duty weapon
policy.
**Be A Good Witness If A Situation Arises When
Police Intervention Is Necessary**
-If the situation involves a reasonable belief of serious
physical harm, provide a response as soon as
practical.
-However, if the situation is less serious, the best
course of action is to observe the incident until
uniformed officers respond.
-If you become involved, make contact with dispatch as
soon as possible to provide information about the
incident and information about yourself(e.g., clothing
you are wearing, car you are driving, description of
