Normally, when police encounter an individual experiencing a mental health crisi

Normally, when police encounter an individual experiencing a mental health crisis, they often handle the situation through informal disposition using tactics to calm the individual, which is often called “psychiatric first aid.” When the situation cannot be handled informally, the officer may have to take the person to jail, which is often called “mercy booking.”
In the 1980s, the response to the growing mental health crisis was to focus largely on officer training. Today, police response calls for providing more specialized and focused responses.
Respond to the following:
Why should interactions with people with intellectual disabilities be made a part of police basic training?
What are some major components of police training when interacting with offenders with intellectual disabilities?

Imagine you are a criminal justice professional working in a police department.

Imagine you are a criminal justice professional working in a police department. Your chief of police has just returned from the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police meeting, and he was very impressed with the panel discussion on Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) given by three police departments. He has instructed you to design a “best practice” model plan for creating a CIT for your department and asked you to present this information to him.

Assignment Deliverable

Identify the community stakeholders that should be involved with the CIT.
Explain the types of trainers needed to sustain a proper certification program.
Explain the number of hours of training and topics to be covered.
Explain if the CIT should be a specialized unit or if all officers should have proper CIT training.

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, public safety and private security part

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, public safety and private security partnerships have been viewed as highly critical to preventing terrorism and other forms of serious crime.
Because the private sector owns and protects 85% of the nation’s infrastructure—and public safety often possesses threat information regarding infrastructure—public safety and private security partnerships can put vital information into the hands of people who need it. Neither public safety nor private security possess the necessary resources to do so alone.
Respond to the following:
Should the federal, state, and local police actively collaborate and partner with private security agencies? Why or why not?
What are the obstacles to public safety and private sector partnership?
In which areas might public safety and private security agencies collaborate?

In Module One, you learned some common terminology used to explain different aspects of cultural diversity and how these terms may influence decision making. You also completed your own personal diversity assessment using Loden’s Diversity Wheel. These activities will assist you as you begin to construct a cultural diversity education and training for Project One.
In this activity, you will examine the history of Chinese immigration to the United States in order to gain a better understanding of the relationship between cultural bias, stereotyping, and communication issues among a specific group, the police, and the criminal justice system. This will also assist you as you consider the specific factors from Loden’s Diversity Wheel that impact criminal-justice interactions in Project Two, which you will complete in Module Five.
First, review the History of San Francisco’s Chinatown resource, On Police Treatment, Asian-Americans Show Ethnic, Generational Splits, and The Social History of Crime and Punishments in America: An Encyclopedia -Chinese Americans. Then, in a slide presentation, complete the following essential elements:
Cultural Stereotype

How did Marbury v. Madison establish the principle of judicial review, and what implications did this have for the judiciary’s role in governance? In United States v. Nixon, how did the Court’s application of judicial review address the balance of executive power and accountability? Drawing on Carter’s analysis, how do political considerations influence the exercise of judicial power, particularly in decisions involving executive authority? Conclude by discussing whether judicial review serves as a neutral arbiter of constitutional principles or as a politically influenced mechanism, using examples from the cases and Carter’s text to support your position.

PreparationRefer to the gender, racial, or ethnic group you selected in your Wk

PreparationRefer to the gender, racial, or ethnic group you selected in your Wk 2: State Demographic Data assignment. This group should be represented in the prison demographics for your state and will be your focus as you examine the influence of gender, racial, or ethnic aspects of diversity in community policing.
Research statistical demographic information on the imprisoned populations in your state or local area. (You may use the same resources from last week’s assignment.) Examine data for the racial, ethnic, or gender group that you choose to study. Access the Detailed Data Tool from The Sentencing Project for data on these groups. 
Research at least 2 scholarly sources about issues in policing the selected gender, racial, or ethnic group.
I BASED MY ASSIGNMENT FROM LAST WEEK ON THE CONCORD STATE PRISON IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, PRIMARILY HOW HISPANICS ARE AFFECTED AND HOW MANY ARE INCARCERATED COMPARED TO EVERY OTHER RACE.
Assessment DeliverableUsing data from your state or local area, create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation to city or state officials as if you were a victim advocate working on behalf of a community to recommend a plan for reducing disparity in the policing of minority groups.
Your presentation should include the following information with supportive examples from your research:
Cite relevant demographic information from state or local statistics on the race, ethnicity, or gender of the group you selected. Note any relevant disparities between groups.
Explain the roles of the various criminal justice agencies and representatives engaged in building rapport with the group you chose. Summarize the ethical responsibilities of criminal justice professionals to serve multicultural populations. Give an example of a risk to effective community policing that could occur based on an officer’s biases or lack of cultural competence with the selected population.
Identify aspects of multiculturalism and societal diversity to consider when policing this group. Describe how cultural, spiritual, or other factors may cause challenges for a minority defendant from this group during their interactions with law enforcement. Describe challenges to developing community policing practices impartial to gender, race, or ethnicity.
Propose at least 1 recommendation based on your findings for how to address the gender, racial, or ethnic disparity identified. Make a call to action for the city council or state legislature to implement changes based on your recommendation. (If no improvements are needed, recommend a strategy for maintaining the results that you identified.)
