...Running Head: Safety in Schools Safety in Schools Strawberry Rosario ENG 215 Research and Writing Professor Allegra Strayer University June 13, 2011 Safety in Schools Today, school officials deal with violence, drugs, weapons, gangs, shootings, murders and theft to name a few, the public school system should prioritize security services on campus. Parents want to feel that their children's school is safe and secure. Since violence in schools has increased drastically, police officers, video surveillance, and metal detectors are security tools that should be used and installed in schools to improve a safer environment for students. School Resource Officers (SROs) are often sworn police officers employed by the local Police Department and assigned to patrol public school hallways full time. In larger jurisdictions, these police officers may be employed directly by the school district (Kim, 2010). Since violence is common especially with high school students, these police officers help the students understand that they are in the school to protect them but at the same time to enforce the law and good behavior (Geronimo, 2010). School Resource Officers are responsible for criminal law issues, not school discipline issues. They work to prevent juvenile delinquency through close contact and positive relationships with students. In addition, the SRO’s develop crime prevention...

...Public Safety Known by the locals as “Spring Vegas,” Springfield is a charming city that is known for some tourist traps and being a fairly family friendly. The nickname Spring Vegas is also fitting for the rampant crime and the actual lack of safety. Although police in Springfield try to keep us safe, they can’t really keep up. As crime rates increase, there need to be more preventive measures taken so that way they could possibly stop the crime before it takes place. As of now, there are not many ways to deter crime, only ways to stop it after there has already been harm done. To make our city more family friendly when it comes to crime, the Springfield Police Department needs to take more preventive measures to crime. People underestimate...

Bibliography …………………………………………………………… 7 Abstract The general American public had no idea what was in store for them on the early morning of September, 11, 2001, nor how it would subsequently effect their live. Early that morning America watched in horror as the unthinkable happen. The twin towers pillars of American freedom, and capitalism that had stood tall over the skyline of New York City N.Y. were attacked. The skyline was not the only thing that would be changed that day. The possibility of terrorist acts at large sporting venues has caused owners and managers to take a different look at their facilities. They had to consider the possibility of terrorist activity, vulnerabilities, and protection of the venues and lack of security measures. Managers and owners had to develop operational plans and incident preparedness for emergency incidents. Sporting venues are packed on a daily bases with thousands of persons who could easily become the victims of a terrorist plot. A simple thing as going to a ball game would never be as before...

...Roberto Cruz Professor Ibach English 104 April 28, 2015 Surveillance Many forms of surveillance have always existed as people watch over others for mutual care, for moral caution, and to figure out information secretly. If one has nothing to hide, then they have nothing to worry about. When one is in a public space, he/she is in the eye of the public. So what’s the difference in being watched by a closed circuit TV camera and being seen in public? Even if one is caught doing something embarrassing, the police will not arrest him/her and no surveillance officer will put an individual on national television. Surveillance does enhance our society for there are many advantages in having surveillance. Surveillance provides safety for a community, it can deter crime, and it catches many things that an individual doesn’t catch. Surveillance provides safety for a community. Surveillance cameras in public places ensures public safety. ToughEfrain26, a poll survey taker on Debate.org, states that “Surveillance cameras would to a safer public environment, by providing surveillance at times, and in areas where law officials cannot be present.” An individual will rarely attempt to harm another person when he/she is aware that his/her actions are being recorded on camera. Cameras keep an individual safe. Jonathan Sparco, a platinum level expert author for Enzine Articles, states that “A residential security system is becoming more and more important due to the increasing crime...

...utilizing this technology for house arrests. In car computers has allowed for officers to have access to maps that will plot a course to a call or address based on GPS location of the officer. Officers can recall a prior law enforcement contact or history of a person or address that improves the officer safety. New technology has allowed for officers to get instant feed back on stolen vehicles, wanted persons, driver’s statuses, and so on. In the last 20 years, technology for some departments has gone from sharing a radio between officers to each officer having a cell phone and computers with instant access to both information and resources. Often in small departments, officers would have to stop what they were doing, call in to a dispatch center to receive a call, and go into a call not fully knowing what they were getting in to. Some of the biggest improvement over the last 20 years has been in the equipment that officers use to maintain their safety. From the ballistic vests that are worn that used to be thick, bulky, and uncomfortable are now thin, flexible, and twice as strong as previous vest. Other technological equipment that has entered the officer’s realm of safety is the Taser or electronic control device (ECD). Since it uses in the police departments, incidents of officer and citizen injuries have decreased dramatically. Although recent evidence has shown that the ECD’s is not without its own faults, it has reduced the total amount and severity of injuries. ...

...During this assignment I will discuss the roles and responsibilities of Public Services attending an incident, including non-statutory, statutory and voluntary agencies and how they work together during these times. When attending an incident scene although the first thought in your mind is to help any visual casualties it is extremely important for the first service at the scene to evaluate the dangers and try to preserve any form of evidence as best as possible. This method is used to, 1. Avoid anymore casualties and 2. Help the teams working on the case and the aftermath. It’s hard to tell who will be first at the scene as it all goes down to location but majority of the time the police are called out to deal with the public. Accidents on the motorway or in highly populated parts of the town like city centres require some form of authority to avoid any members of the public getting involved. Car crashes are a perfect example for why we need the police at the scene. The ambulance crew and fire fighters will be working hard to save lives and rescue those involved, but busy commuters want to get to work, without the road being cordoned off or visible amounts of police or signs telling them to wait a lot of people will try and argue their way through. Too most commuters they might think its unessacary closing the incident/road off if theres visible ways to drive past but this is done to preserve the scene. There will be a lot of evidence in the area which is vital for the...
