DEVRY JADM250 WEEK 3 AND WEEK 4 DISCUSSIONS

WEEK 3

The Police Investigator (graded)

What is the role of the first responding officer to any
crime scene? How important is it that this officer is an effective note taker?
What other responsibilities besides gathering information does the first
responding officer have?

Fatal Traffic Accident Report (graded)

What role do the police play in the investigation of fatal
motor vehicle accidents? When it is determined that an accident has been caused
by a driver who has violated the law, what courses of action do the police
take? What types of reports are completed here?

WEEK 4

Interviewing (graded)
What are different types of interviews that police officers
conduct? Is an interview with a victim or eyewitness to a crime the same as an
interview with a suspect of a crime? Is a field interview of that suspect the
same as an interview at police headquarters?

Report Writing Supervision (graded)
Why is there a need for supervisors to review police
reports? Should departmental policy dictate who is responsible for report
writing review and approval? If errors or omissions are found, can changes be
made to the original report that was submitted by the initial reporting
officer?
