...Following the collision, Hiller's vehicle went off the left side of the road, where it went airborne over a stream and overturned. Hiller, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected. The other driver was belted and was not injured. Troopers found Hiller to be under the influence upon contact with him at the hospital, according to the patrol. His original charge stemmed from a Feb. 20 incident at a business along South Washington Street. Millersburg Police were called to the business after Hiller, apparently intoxicated, allegedly knocked over merchandise and threatened to set off a traffic flare inside the building, according to Millersburg Police Chief S. Thomas Vaughn. Responding officers arrived as Hiller, who had paid for the road flares, was exiting the business. Hiller, however, failed to provide officers with information regarding his identification, as required by law, and he partially headbutted one of the officers...

...the individual. There is reasonable suspicion being presented in this situation, the juvenile is wearing expensive and new sports gear that could have very well come from the sports warehouse. Although I do not believe this is enough to stop the juvenile. The farthest I would go in pursuing the individual would be to tail him looking for any suspicious activity to further pursue him. In the event his actions provided sufficient probable cause I would calmly stop the juvenile and question him on what he was doing in the area. I would make a decision to arrest him or not based on his answers and my own personal observation. Scenario two presents a situation in which a group of female juveniles are gathered in a park known to local law enforcement as a place where drug transactions occur regularly. It is 10pm when a patrol car rolls by. Noticing the police vehicle one of the individuals starts to walk away from the park at a fast pace. As...

...arrangements, processes and resources for the performance of the policeman’s main functions. Police Operations encompass a wide range of activities, particularly patrol and traffic operations, implementation of special laws, command and control, civil disturbance, disaster management, terrorism, deployment of troops, internal security operations and community-oriented policing, with due regard to human rights. Police Patrol has always been the backbone of protecting the public, and as far back as society had begun to get organized into groups and communities, mankind has always had people to patrol, to show a strong presence, as well as be on the look-out for danger at all levels, and then be able to respond. And if it wasn't for the Police patrolling your neighborhood, your local community and even your entire city, then the little world that you live in, would become Survival Of The Fittest. We must tell you that in all the world of defense, police patrol is the best way for the police to defend us. High police visibility discourages criminals. Normally, criminals think twice before executing their plans if there is obvious presence of police officers. Thus, patrol activity should be carried in a manner that attracts maximum attention to the police officer or police vehicles. The general goals of the police patrol force are protection of life and property, preservation of peace and order, prevention of crime, suppression of criminal activities, apprehension of criminals, enforcement...

...When summoned for jury service, jurors appear for the length of one trial or one day. The majority of jurors complete their service in one day.At this particular visit to the Orange County Courthouse, I was selected for jury duty. In order to report for jury duty, potential jurors such as me had to arrive at the courthouse for check-in at 8:00 am. At that time all jurors are screened via metal detectors and asked to proceed to the jury assembly room. Upon entering the jury assembly room, the juror check-in process was occurring. Later on all the potential jurors for the day had been seated, and welcomed. A clerk of the court explained in detail and gave a briefing on what the day would consist of. In Orange County, jurors are assigned a number of which, when a judge is ready to hear a case on the docket and a jury is needed he would at that time request for a jury pool, he will then alert the clerk to pick a pool of numbers-which is done through a lottery system. A lottery of numbers (12) is selected. Those twelve individuals are then walked up to the courtroom for that particular judge, were further jury selection will take place. Going forward, my juror number was selected in the lottery pool, and was then taken to the courtroom. It was then at that time the pool of potential jurors were seated according to our numbers, and given a set of instructions from the judge.

...and trails, engineer reconnaissance, and use of military route signs (standard signs, sign lighting, bridge signs). A significant part of route reconnaissance is the ability to identify choke points that prohibit military traffic by using conversion factors and tables to identify non-standard surfaces or inadequate load bearing in structure. Route reconnaissance is typically conducted by a foot, horse or vehicle-mounted route reconnaissance patrol, sometimes with aid of aerial reconnaissance aircraft. The patrol would include regular reconnaissance elements and a combat engineering team. 2.

...This is a factual event of a lesson I learned while serving in Afghanistan as a patrol leader of a route clearance platoon in Uruzgan Province. My hopes in writing this are that maybe someone will take my advice and my mistake and not make the same mistake. The events of this story took place throughout my 9 month tour in 2012-2013, on Route 55. Over my 9 months here there has been 13 I.E.D related incidents or finds on this particular stretch of route.

Before I get into the details of that day I would like to explain all of the lessons learned throughout this...

...Goodenough, is a patrol officer who often serves as a field training officer. Goodenough is generally capable and experienced in both the patrol and detective divisions. She takes pride in being of the “old school” and has developed a clique of approximately 10 people with whom she gets along while mostly shunning other officers. As an officer of the old school, she typically handles calls for service without requesting cover units or backup. She has had six complaints of brutality lodged against her during the last 3 years. For Ima and her peers, officers who call for backup are “wimps.” She has recently been involved in two high-speed pursuits during which her vehicle was damaged when she attempted to run the offender off the road. Ima will notify a supervisor only when dealing with a major situation. She is borderline insubordinate when dealing with new supervisors. She believes that, generally speaking, the administration exists only to “screw around with us.” You, her shift commander, have been angry about her deteriorating attitude and reckless performance for some time and have been wondering whether you will soon have occasion to take some form of disciplinary action against her. You have also learned that Ima has a reputation among her supervisors as being a “hot dog.” Some of her past and present supervisors have even commented that she is a “walking time bomb” who is unpredictable and could “blow” at any time. One day, while bored on patrol, Ima decides...

...CIRCUIT No. 79-404. Argued December 1, 1980 Decided January 21, 1981 Based on their discovery of sets of distinctive human footprints in the desert, Border Patrol officers deduced that on a number of occasions groups of from 8 to 20 persons had been guided by a person, whom they designated "Chevron," from Mexico across an area of desert in Arizona, known to be heavily trafficked by aliens illegally entering the country. These groups of aliens proceeded to an isolated point on a road to be picked up by a vehicle; the officers deduced the vehicle probably approached from the east and returned to the east after the pickup. They also surmised, based on the times when the distinctive tracks were discovered, that "Chevron" generally traveled on clear nights during or near weekends, and arrived at the pickup point between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. On the basis of this information, the officers stationed themselves at a point east of the probable pickup point on a night when they believed there was a strong possibility that "Chevron" would be smuggling aliens. The officers observed a pickup truck with a camper shell suitable for carrying sizable groups pass them heading west and then observed the same vehicle return within the estimated time for making a round trip to the pickup point. The officers stopped the vehicle, which was being driven by respondent Cortez and in which respondent Hernandez-Loera, who was wearing shoes with soles matching the distinctive "chevron" shoeprint, was...

...Andy Anderson Kelly Wisdom Eng111-10D February 10, 2011 Cooks in Combat “I’ve gotta bad feeling about this.” said my platoon Staff Sargent Mark Pegher as we listened to the convoy commander review the route plan via dirt map. We had been in Balad, Iraq for about two months moving supply patrols from our logistical storage area to an observation base a few miles away. It was a trip we had made a dozen times by then. Yet, that comment foreshadowed a very unusual day for the cooks of HHC 1-77 Armor Battalion. The planned route was going to be MSR Tampa. This was an eight mile military supply route, which had been our primary travel road on previous missions. It was well known by us, as well as by insurgents. The explosive ordinance disposal team had patrolled the road most of the night and had cleared it before our departure time. We had only been in country for a few weeks; the armor for our vehicles had not yet been mounted, making the threat of an attack slightly more alarming. But, even with the mention of Sergeant Pegher’s little premonition, it did little to discourage myself and Spc. Todd Nelson from arguing over who would be the driver in our five ton supply truck during this mission. There were a lot of important things that went into planning a mission like this. For non-combat types, deciding who would be in the driver and passenger seat could be priority decision. It was always a well fought debate. It had its pros and cons. Being a driver meant...

...correct time and place is conduct a search. The extent to which an individual is protected by the Fourth Amendment depends, in part, on the location of the search or seizure (Smith, 1999). An example is in the case of Minnesota v. Carter, when a police officer looked into a window of an apartment and observed bagging of white powder. The officer called back to the station to obtain a search warrant. In the meantime, the suspects that the police officer was watching, Carter and Johns, had left the apartment with some of the powder. The police followed them and pulled them over and searched the car and then searched the apartment. Carter and Johns were charged with controlled substance crimes. The two argued that the officer’s observation was an unreasonable search and all evidence was inadmissible as “fruit of the poisonous tree” because the evidence would not have been found in the officer’s initial search (Smith, 1999). The court decided that the protection from the Fourth Amendment did not apply because Carter and Johns were visitors from out-of-state and not social guest. The Minnesota Supreme Court changed the conviction ruling based on the right of property owners to have other people in their home to conduct other...
