...Public Policing vs. Private Security Public Policing vs. Private Security It is in my estimation, public policing stands for more in society than private security because of the funding provided. The duties and responsibilities to enforce the law and maintain order in society is that of public policing. Agencies paid to perform the protective and lost-prevention type duties not handled by police officers are the private security agencies. Society needs to know the pros and cons for each agency to ensure that agency will protect him or her for the correct reasons. In comparing public policing and private security for society, most individuals need to see the different branches and what each agency offers to ensure the best for the situation. Most agencies leave a good review for society and attempt to provide information on public locations for society to view to gain more knowledge about each system and organization. There are several distinct differences between public policing and private security. Public policing does the following: 1) maintain order, 2) performs community service, 3) detect crime, 4) handle crime, and 5) prevent crime, 6) traffic control, 7) stop and questioning an individual, 8) search/seize individuals and their personal belongings, 9) conduct interrogations, and 10) arrest an individual. Private security does the following paid duties: 1) serves as an escort, 2) patrol housing and business areas, 3) serves as guards at gates, 4) transport valuables...

...clients and customers. When an employee is hired at a new company, there are several security measures that are already in place in order to keep their personal information private and/or confidential. The first being in the Human Resources Department where all the information is gathered by the employee filling out various forms of that are confidential in nature. This information is kept in the employee’s private, confidential employee folder in the Human Resources Department, generally in a locked cabinet or other secured areas. This ensures that no one other than the Human Resources Department can get access to the information other in the file. At times, special permission is granted for a manager to review the file for a specific reason, along with the Human Resources representative. The second place where an employee can reasonably expect to have privacy is in the computer mainframe where all the pertinent records (such as social security number, address, date of birth, banking information, etc.) are stored. This is used primarily for an employee’s timekeeper administration and government reporting purposes. Only key personnel such as Human Resources, Accounting and IT have access. There are also different levels of access allowed based on the need to see the data. Another area of where an employee can reasonably expect to have privacy from their co-workers is in their private workspace areas. This allocated space is where an employee places their personnel...

...people that are in this profession that like to be called fugitive recovery agents rather than bounty hunters. This is because when people hear bounty hunter, it tends to automatically make most think about negative things, or the first thing that comes to mind is something from the old days when people use to post dead or alive posters with an award on it. Some of the more accepted titles other than bounty hunter are bail bond recovery agent as mentioned before, bail officer, fugitive recovery officer, bail agent, bail enforcement agent, and fugitive recovery agent. Private investigators and bounty hunters have some of the same job duties in common which include, conducting interviews, performing surveillance, getting in contact with the subject, skip tracing which is when they track somebody to a current resident or location, and if a subject is located, some form of paperwork might be served. The private investigator could serve the individual legal papers and the bounty hunter could serve a warrant. The bounty hunter works with the bail bondsman in order to re-arrest the individual and place them in jail. This is usually because the bail bondsman’s client has not followed his or her bail contract. Usually the offense is when the individual fails to appear in court after promising to go. The first bounty hunter is Pat Garrett, and he is the one responsible for hunting down Billy the Kid. His motivation was duty and the five hundred dollar reward that was put out by...

...corporations such as Royal Dutch Shell and BP, who supply these products, are subject to immense public scrutiny to the quality of these products and more recently the ways in which they are manufactured. The focus of this argument involves the ethical aspect of Shell’s management with regards to the issue of human rights in the regions they operate in, as well as their engagement with their employees and other stakeholders. According to their website the Niger-Delta region, which Royal Dutch Shell produces a quantity of their oil, the company provides funds to the government and commissions. Under law of the Niger Delta Development Commission and operations through the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC), Shell contributed up to $82 million in 2008 ($56.8m and $25.2m, respectively). The contributions through the SPDC “promote and support small businesses, agriculture, skills training, education, healthcare, micro lending and capacity building.” They also have contributed through royalty payments amounting to “$36 billion in taxes and royalties from 2005-2008.” Although the government will ultimately decide how to allocate the funds, Shell firmly believes that through their contributions “these funds can be used to promote development, reduce poverty and support economic growth.” If utilized in this manner and with reference to economic principles, with lower levels of poverty and sustained economic growth the funds can greatly improve general economic welfare among...

...Modern Health Insurance Model Health insurance has changed a lot over the years and will continue to change over time. There are many things to consider when looking at health insurance. Some of the aspects and terminology a person may need to inquire about when dealing with insurance would be group health insurance and individual health insurance. Individual health insurance “is a type of coverage purchased on the private market by a single person for themselves or their families.” (Contributor) It is meant to cover more than one person even though some mistake it for only one person because of the terminology “individual”. People whom normally purchase this type of insurance “don’t have access to group health insurance, can be denied, and will most likely be required to pay higher premiums due to age, gender, or any pre-existing medical conditions.” (Rowell, 2011) “Group health insurance is designed specifically for companies to buy for their employees.” (Contributor) This type of insurance is purchased on the open market just like individual health insurance but only by the employer not the employee. (Contributor) Another meaning for group health insurance is “traditional healthcare coverage subsidized by employers and other organizations (e.g., labor unions, rural and consumer health cooperatives) whereby part or all of the premium costs are paid for and/or discounted group rates are offered to eligible individuals.” (Rowell, 2011) When comparing and contrasting...

...Assignment 2: Review of Business Fraud ACC 565 – Accounting Information Systems July 28, 2012 Summary of United States vs. Bo Zhang Bo Zhang, a Chinese computer program, was a contract employee assigned to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), between May 2011 and August 11, 2011, to work on further developing a specific portion of the Government Wide Accounting program (GWA) source code (FBI, 2012). Mr. Zhang was not a United States citizen and was here on a VISA. The United States had spent approximately $9.5 million to develop the GWA code. The FRBNY was given the task of moving the Government Wide Accounting program, developed to help track the billions of dollars the United States government transfers daily, from an antiquated IBM mainframe computer to the Internet, according to a person familiar with the project (Chicago Tribune, 2012). In the summer of 2011, Zhang stole the GWA Code and, without authorization from FRBNY, copied it onto his hard drive at the FRBNY and an FRBNY-owned external hard drive. He then transferred the code to his private office computer, his home computer, and his personal laptop (FBI, 2012). Zhang used the GWA code to access the government system and submit fraudulent documentation to immigration authorities to help foreign nationals obtain visas to enter and work in the United States. Zhang falsely represented to immigration authorities that certain foreign nationals worked full-time for his...

...Kudler Fine Food's Frequent Shopper Program BSA310 Kudler Fine Food's Frequent Shopper Program Kudler Fine Foods, a “fine” grocery store based in San Diego, is looking to implement a frequent shopper program. This program is to enhance their current database that tracks sales and performs low-level data analysis, the kind most current stores use to keep inventory current. The program is set to provide a more detailed analysis of shopper’s spending habits at an individual level, which brings in a number of ethical, legal, and information security concerns. This paper is to discuss these concerns, what the company can do to protect such sensitive information, and what potential legal issues that may be faced implementing this system. Ethical Concerns This, above all else, should be the first consideration when implementing a system like this. For a system like this to work, customers will have many attributes of their lives revealed through deep analysis of their spending habits. Most people will be uncomfortable with such a notion, so the program cannot be mandatory. This must be left to the customer to choose to participate or not. If customers do opt in to the program, everything the company plans to do with their info should be laid out for them to know right up front. Especially when it comes to sharing sensitive information with other companies, customers may trust Kudler, more than likely they will not trust other companies that do business with Kudler. A good way to...

...screensaver was completely inappropriate and the behavior from his coworker was not professional by any means and due to those actions alone she should have been reprimanded or even fired if it could have been proven that she was the one that sent the screensaver. The defendant also stated in his argument that he often participated with other members in the office when they joked around about things that were not work appropriate. The judge’s decision was made very easily due to evidence and the defendant’s testimony. The evidence showed what the employee’s job description was and what is expected of them as employees along with guidelines for any sexual harassment that may been seen or expected. The defendant basically shoot himself in the foot by not reporting any of the incidents that occurred in the workplace. When the initial incident occurred he should have reported the employees and the appropriate actions would have been handled by management. The plaintiff’s testimony was truthful and she even exploited more of the truth than what the defendant initially stated in his testimony. The sexual harassment was done both ways and he made it seem like he was the only victims in this case. The judge ruled in neither of the two because there was no proof of that emails and screensaver caused the defendant to not get his promotion. I do believe that if he had proof from his boss that he didn’t get the job due to the screen saver then the ruling would have been different. Civil liability...

Headquartered in Houston, TX and employees approximately 27,000 people around the world. According to KNR 2014 Press release for the fourth quarter and Annual 2014 financial results, the company had a $1.24B net loss and the company advised that is due to the restructuring of the company. The government service section of the company had a revenue of $111 million down from $126 million, while gross profit suffered a loss of 60 million. The loss according to the company was driven primarily by $46 million in charges relating to the legacy LogCAP III. United States of America v. Kellogg Brown & Root, U.S. District Court. A lawsuit filed in federal court in DC by the US Army, alleged that KBR violated the contract by failing to obtain Army authorization for arming subcontractors and allowing the use of private security contractors who were not registered with the Iraqi Ministry of the Interior. The case was dropped by the US but then in 2014 the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals advised that KBR use of private security contractors did not violate contractual terms with the Army.

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper details the importance of cyber security in the face of evolving cyber threats and the ever-increasing attacks on government and businesses alike. We live in a globally connected world and globally distributed cyber threats. Not restricted by geographical boundaries these threats target all technologies, service providers, and consumers. The threats are at an all-time high, in terms of sophistication and volume, and continue to trend upwards. WHAT IS CYBERSECURITY? Twenty years ago businesses did not think twice about cyber security. In a world of mainframes and dumb terminals with no connectivity to anything outside, viruses, malware, and hacking was unheard of, however, with the introduction of the Internet things have now changed. The term cyber security is getting more and more mixed usage lately, so much so that it is almost as ambiguous as the term "cloud". Cyber security, referred to as information technology security, is the focus on protecting computers, networks, programs, and data from unintended or unauthorized access, change, or destruction. Cyber security also encompasses ten different security domains. The following domains provide a foundation for security practices and principles: • Access Control - to maintain information confidentiality, integrity, and availability, it is important to control access to information. Access controls prevent unauthorized users from retrieving, using, or altering information. They are...

It is also my understanding that your company, LJB Company, wishes to move forward and become a public entity. I’m pleased my firm can be of assistance in helping your company make this transaction. First, we must review any new rules or regulations that apply to private companies converting public. Good corporate governance within an organization may make a company more attractive to potential buyers, investors, and other capital sources. Under Sarbanes-Oxley, all public traded companies must follow a set of new controls. U.S. corporations are required to maintain an adequate system of internal controls. Corporate executives and boards of directors must ensure these controls are reliable and effective. As with any business, the transformation of going from a private to public requires some extensive planning and preparation. It is recommended LJB being a relatively small sized company in terms of its employees should re-evaluate the costs versus the benefits of being a public traded company. If LJB decides to issue stock it would be wise to answer the following...

Americans have always had ambivalent feelings about them. * Parties are necessary, and they perform vital functions, they are crucial institutions when it comes to organizing competition when it comes to elections, structuring the thinking of the society. If they help us distinguish various political sides, we can start identifying with them (liberal, conservative) * Ad-hoc coalitions – built in order to pass a specific bill.
