Discussion/First Responders 1. Read the article by Contreras (2014) where a veteran dies while waiting for an ambulance. In your opinion, did the Veteran’s Administration (a state actor) have a special duty to the veteran? Why or why not? 2. Justice Unis dissented in the Hammond decision. Do you believe the emotional distress in this case should have been open to a lawsuit? Why or why not? ASSIGNMENT/FIRST RESPONDERS Assignment 1: Chapter 5 discusses acts of restraining others without their consent in order to avoid liability for failing to treat the injured. Part 2 talks of Dr. Vega’s decision to use four-point restraints to intubate Catherine Shine. Part 3 encourages EMS workers to enlist law enforcement to act in loco parentis when minors are involved and the family is not available for consent. You are the head of an ambulance service consisting of nationally-certified emergency medical technicians. Based on the two cases above, write a policy describing how you want each category treated when consent is not given by the injured: Adults who are in an apparent life-threatening condition, Minors who are in an apparent life-threatening condition, and Minors whose condition is not clearly life-threatening. In your references, find one court case for each situation through an internet search or through Lexis-Nexis. Use APA style to cite any sources. Each part of your three-part policy should be at least one double-spaced page in length. Assignment 2: Find at least three examples from credible sources where actions by a first responder (state actor) led to harm to a member of the public. Particularly, find those incidents where a public duty was apparent (rather than special duty). Search terms such as "family killed by fire engine" will help you locate these cases. - Was a civil suit permitted? - Argue for or against the decision on permitting or not permitting a lawsuit against the first responders. Each case coverage should be not less than 2 pages. This means the final paper will be at least 6 pages in length. Use APA style and cite all sources. ASSIGNMENT/TRAFFIC LAW AND ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION Part I. Choose a piece of speed enforcement technology and based on your research, write a 400-word proposal to your department chief and city council outlining why they should invest in that piece of equipment. Be sure to address the specific speed enforcement device features and the impact this investment will have on the community. At least two sources should be cited. Part II. As a patrol officer with your city, you have been assigned to a directed patrol to reduce speeding in a school zone on Pleasant Street. On the south end of the school is the entrance driveway, on the north end of the property is the exit driveway. Across the street from the school are private residential homes. To the south of the school is a commercial building with a large parking lot along the roadside. To the north of the property is a line of evergreen trees that are at least 8 feet tall. Pleasant Street is a flat grade in front of the school and travels downhill as you drive south toward the commercial building. Your new patrol captain has asked you to assess the location and provide him with a brief memo (300-words) including whether you will use a RADAR or LASER and why. What time of day you plan to conduct your enforcement activity and why. What hazards and types of interference might be involved in utilizing your speed detection devices in conducting your motor vehicle stops. Part III. Using 2-3 additional sources of information, write a 400-word essay discussing the different types of automated enforcement including how they work and their effectiveness. Then address related controversies and legal issues using current examples. ASSIGNMENT/SECURITY SYSTEMS PROCEDURES AND DEVELOPMENTS 1. You are the security director for IBID International, a large manufacturer. You have decided to conduct a security survey of the company’s administrative building. You have received the security survey report form (see Appendix C) and a blueprint of the building (see Figure 8-15). Your approved recommendation will be presented to senior management for final approval and funding. Fill out the survey form. As you do so, look over the blueprint and note directly on your blueprint what you would do and where you would make security improvements in the building and its interior. You should succinctly, clearly, and logically draw together your findings on the physical security survey. This narrative should briefly provide an overview of each problem and its recommended solution or correction. 2. Complete the Case Study on Pages of the textbook. 3. Explain in detail how the various openings in a perimeter can be effectively protected and secured. 4. Knowing about the various security techniques that are available for the protection of assets, is it possible to develop a virtually attack-proof security system? Is this even desirable? What are the potential problems, if any?
