Design a project to help track down missing persons. In the past missing persons

Design a project to help track down missing persons. In the past missing persons’ pictures were posted on milk cartons so that everyone who was drinking milk could be alerted to the status of that person. Now, there are often postings in local stores and websites designed to help find missing persons.
You are going to design your own unique way of alerting people about missing persons. Using a word document or a PowerPoint presentation, design your own way to help the people that have gone missing be found. Be creative, use facts to help you design your missing person’s alert system, and explain why your system will be successful.

Acquainting Yourself with Ethics
You are on patrol and stop a vehicle for expired registration. You approach the driver and notice it is an old friend from school. You give a verbal warning to her and tell her she is free to go. Before leaving, she says it was great to see you again. She asks if you want to get coffee sometime and hands you her phone number.
1. Would letting her go without issuing a citation be ethical?
2. Is it appropriate for a police officer to agree to have coffee with an old friend?
3. Would it be considered unethical for a police officer and an old friend to exchange phone numbers?
Power and Discretion to Arrest
You are a police officer working the night shift, but you still have a few hours to go and are looking for some caffeine to help you push through the remainder of your shift. You stop at the local store on your beat for some coffee, and a man, who you later learn is the owner, tells you that coffee is now free for all law enforcement; because of how tired you are, you gladly oblige. Over your next few shifts, you visit this store to get coffee. Around a month later, you are about to finish your last shift before a long-awaited vacation when you notice a vehicle making erratic movements ahead of you. You decide to stop the individual and, as you approach the car, realize it is the store’s owner. Upon questioning, you know he is severely intoxicated. He says he notices you from his store and pleads with you that he cannot afford to go to jail as his business will certainly suffer. Conflicted by how charitable he has been to you in the past, you decide to drive him home instead of arresting him.
Which type of corruption (hedonistic or obligatory) does the officer engage in?
Would this scenario be an example of the warning by Goldstein that accepting small gratuities is often the beginning of a “slippery slope of moral career?”
How can you help with this situation?

Each week I submitted parts of my paper that needed to be built upon with instructions from Professor. Edit week 2 paper to Professors critique.

Identify a criminological relationship of interest to you involving both an independent and
dependent variable. For example, one of the criminological relationships of interest in the Brunson
and Weitzer (2009) “featured researcher” article is the relationship between race and youths’
attitudes toward police.
You may select a topic from either (a) the research areas of the 6 scholars profiled in Chapter 1 of the
Rennison text or (b) the topic areas in NIJ’s now defunct “Five Things” series (listed next page).
Because the articles you select for this assignment must come from one of the journals in the
Journal Guide (on Canvas), you are strongly encouraged to pursue these sources to refine your
relationship of interest. This is the relationship that you will use throughout this project, so please
choose carefully.
