Discussion Board 4

The discussion assignment for this week includes preparing your outline of the Key Assignment (Phase 4 IP), and a review of the Key Assignment Outline completed by one of your classmates, as well as a substantial response to at least 1 other student.

Primary Task Response: Your first task is to post your own Key Assignment Outline to the discussion area so that other students are able to review your plan. The Phase 4 IP is the Key Assignment for this course. Your task is to develop an outline for your response to the Phase 4 IP. You are to post that outline to the Phase 4 Discussion Board area. Attach your document to the main discussion post, and include any notes that you feel are appropriate. The purpose of this assignment is to help improve the quality of the Key Assignment Draft you will complete for the Phase 4 IP.

Individual Project 4

Recently, your police department has received media coverage and community activist criticism because of the detective bureau’s techniques of interrogation. Your chief of detectives has assigned you to develop a general order for the chief of police to consider implementing on this topic. The chief will use your drafted general order to prepare his response to the media at a press conference scheduled for next week. Therefore, time is critical. Consider the following:

• Miranda warnings and waiver of rights form
• Use of audio and video equipment
• Note-taking
• Developing a plan
• Knowledge of the subject and incident
• General order proposal of 1,000–1,250 words
• APA Format for references

This general order should provide sufficient detail on each of the topics, and it should address the legal and ethical considerations and implications of conducting interviews and interrogations. Research general orders so that your submission reflects a format that is typical of what might be seen in a police department general order.
