...Facts: King was arrested and charged with first degree drug trafficking and a second degree felony for being a persistent felony offender after police pursued a suspect selling crack cocaine to undercover officers outside of an apartment complex. After the sale took place, undercover police officers pursued the suspect, who entered one of two apartments. One apartment smelled strongly of marijuana smoke so police assumed this was the apartment of entry. Upon banging on the door and announcing their presence, and failure of the occupant to answer the door, they could hear what sounded like people moving things around inside leading officers to believe evidence was being destroyed. Given the circumstance, officers announced their entry and kicked the door in to prevent the destruction of evidence. Upon entering, they found the defendant and two other people inside with cocaine and marijuana in plain view. Since the illegal drugs were in plain view, officers proceeded to search the premises without a warrant under the presumption of probable cause in which they found more drugs and drug paraphernalia. King claims the evidence should be suppressed because the police infringed upon his Fourth...

...Security" A little background on what it means to exercise command at sea: "Only a seaman realizes to what great extent an entire ship reflects the personality and ability of one individual, her Commanding Officer. To a landsman, this is not understandable, and sometimes it is even difficult for us to comprehend--but it is so! A ship is a different world in herself, and in consideration of the protracted and distant operations of the fleet units, the Navy must place great power, responsibility and trust in the hands of those leaders chosen for command. In each ship there is one man who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea, can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately responsible for the safe navigation, engineering performance, accurate gunfiring, and morale of his ship. He is the Commanding Officer. He is the ship! This is the most difficult and demanding assignment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour as Commanding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. This is a duty which most richly deserves the highest time-honored title of the seafaring world--'CAPTAIN.'" Captain Joseph Conrad Our Case Study: The weather would be turning bad overnight, but late on a sunny afternoon in gentle seas, the Commanding Officer (the CO) had a fresh cup of coffee in hand and enjoyed what little was left of the day in his designated chair on the bridge. It was an older ship, but she could still perform in an award-winning way, even...

...In order to keep everyone safe indoors and outdoors, I look for hazards in the area where the children will be playing, learning, and exploring. Before entering students should know the proper rules and procedures ahead of time in case of an emergency. Which means procedures and rules should be practiced at least once a week for a month or until there is no need for assistance. Staff should be fully trained and well equipped given an emergency during any time. Even if no assistance is needed supervision is always required, as well as supplies, materials, and equipment at hand or is known to be in a close range. To keep everyone healthy indoors and outdoors, I make sure sanitary procedures are stated and present. When entering or exiting an area students, staff, and classroom equipment should be well sanitized daily. For example hand washing before and after eating along with when children are playing indoors and outdoors. Staff should sanitize before and after dealing with each child to prevent the transferring of germs. Rest and nutrition are also a very important role in a child’s everyday life. Students should be immediately tended to when dealing with allergy emergencies no matter how severe. Naps are required in a child care center, children should have a chance to rest during the day specifically children ages new born to five. To ensure I create an active learning environment indoors and outdoors, I keep activities active and very communicative. I like for the kids...

Usually Hazcards are used by the technician’s room in the schools. Before students start an activity in the laboratory they should always complete a Risk Assessment. A risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examination of what, in their work, could cause harm to people, so that they can weigh up whether they have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. The aim is to make sure that no one gets hurt or becomes ill. A risk assessment should tell us what the hazards are, what the risks are, how to minimise the risks and what to do in an emergency. Health and Safety Executive This law was introduced in 1974 The law on health and safety at work in Great Britain is regulated by the Health and Safety Executive and local authorities. As controllers, our role is to determine that businesses are effectively and proportionately managing their health and safety risks to workers and others. To do this, we use a range of interventions to influence, encourage and advise business and, where necessary, hold to account those who fail to meet their...

...Problem Statement Greg James, a global manager at Sun Microsystems, has found himself in a difficult situation after his teams failed to respond to a customer’s outage. James’s main problems are that his teams have a support system that fails to address emergency situations and that James has poor, inefficient communication with his teams that leads to unhappiness in the workplace. Analysis Sun Microsystems uses a support systems that queues problems for resolution. The situation for HS Holdings went into a queue that is designed to keep track of missing contract numbers. Since there is no queue system for emergencies, it took several hours for anyone of importance to notice the issue. Jamal, the programmer that created the queue system, stated his assignment was to create a queue for accounts with missing contract numbers. Never was Jamal communicated to create a program that dealt with emergencies such as when a client’s servers go down. The problem here is that Sun Microsystems does not have an emergency situation protocol. With a fail proof support system, one that is designed to deal with emergencies, James would not be traveling across the globe to meet with each of him teams. Sun Microsystems also fails from poor and inefficient communications from James to his teams which has caused unhappiness. If this problem is left uncheck, employee morale will decrease and Sun Microsystems could start to see themselves with a high employee turnover. One of the biggest reasons...

...interesting to know that the dress code instills some form of confidence to fire victims. When these victims see a firefighter in full fire combat, they feel at ease and adhere strictly to the orders they are given. A firefighter should, therefore, ensure that they are in their uniform when responding to such scenarios. Further, delays and bulky procedures tend to increase panic among the victims. There should be an easy procedure that will allow the evacuation of victims as fast as possible especially to the crowded places. Movements should be controlled to ease the overcrowding and possibly reduce the number of casualties. Firefighters should also provide emergency lighting facilities as in most instances fire emergencies cause blackouts, and if victims were left out in the darkness, they are likely to panic even more. Providing emergency lights allows victims to trace their easiest way out of the building. The exits should be well labelled to avoid directing the evacuees to risk areas that would subject them to more danger. References Freedman, M. (2015). Fighting Fire in the Sierra National Forest.

...in a ride along with Lake Charles Police Department’s Officer F. White. I began my ride along around 7:30 P.M. and ended around 12:00 A.M. Officer White is one of many patrol officers on the L.C.P.D. force. His supervisor is Lieutenant Smith. He supervises Officer White and many other patrol officers by radio contact and video surveillance from inside the police station on Enterprise Blvd. Our first event occurred at approximately 7:50 when we pulled over an old Chevrolet pickup truck for illegal placement and lighting of his license plate. As Officer White approached the vehicle he made sure to leave a finger print on the tail light of the truck for safety reasons and to make identification of the vehicle easier in case he got hurt and the truck drove away. Officer White ran a background check on the driver and found no warrants for his arrest or unpaid tickets, so he let the man go with a warning to get the placement and lighting of the license plate corrected. After the man drove away, a disturbing call came over the radio, “A black male is holding a gun to the head of a black female and threatening to shoot.” Officer White hurriedly threw the car in drive and raced to the scene. Upon arrival, another officer had already gotten there and had the man by the arm dragging him out of the house and into the driveway. By the time White got out of the vehicle, five other L.C.P.D. units (including a K-9 unit) with nine officers, one S.W.A.T. unit with three S.W.A.T. members, and an...

...leave per month and save up to 60 of those days before you lose it and can go in the negative 30 days for emergencies if approved. How does the process of taking leave work? What is the process and procedure for this information? How this information can be kept safe? I will explain in this essay how the information of submitting a DA 31 leave form works, where it goes, and what it does when it gets there. The start of this information flow for a DA 31 is made from a service member sitting at a desktop, workstation, or laptop and filling in the required information about themselves through. This method is preferred over hand writing in the blanks. To enter this information you use a Windows based program called Pure Edge Viewer. This program acts similar to Adobe Acrobat and provides fillable blanks to your document. The information about the service member’s leave becomes now rewritable, transferable, and more secure then the packet of papers you would have written on. Once the DA 31 has all of the personal information needed to submit leave it then needs to be approved by the immediate Non-Commissioned Officer. Since the DA 31 was done electronically, it can be sent via email. It is an option to print it out but now less logical since the sensitive information can be accessed and digitally signed over the course of a minute regardless where the Non-Commissioned Officer might be. The security of the DA 31 through Pure Edge Viewer is strict with its access for modification...

...Before joining the Fire Department, I didn’t have a clue as to what it entailed. I knew that committing to the department wasn’t going to be casual; still I was surprised as to how much it demanded from me. In order to learn how to act during emergency situations, there were monthly company drills (training exercises) that we were required to attend. Sometimes the training was very intense, although they were highly controlled, it was always dangerous. A common exercise was entering a multi-storied building with fires at various locations, which we had to find and put out. The drill was highly teamwork oriented and required concise communication in making our way around. Other drills ranged from practicing force-entry into buildings to getting into full turnout gear with an SCBA ready to use. We had even purchased a junkyard car to set on fire in order to practice putting out car fires. Many of the fire related calls were minor or false alarms. Although there were some actual fire crises, many of the emergencies were medical. Some people are surprised to find out that the local fire department runs many of the ambulances. Some calls I responded to were: overdoses, heart attacks, and the elderly falling in their home. Usually an EMT on scene would check the patient and decide whether or not they needed hospitalization. If they did need medical attention, we would get them on the stretcher and bring them to the local hospital. I’d say being a volunteer at the CPFD had...
