Differences between Contact and Induced Damage:

1. Contact damage a. Caused by direct contact with some object which is not a part of the vehicle i. External contact damage most often appears as collapsed or deformed areas of vehicles, tears or punctures, scratches, or smeared material, transferred from one vehicle to another or one object to another ii. Internal contact damage is found inside the vehicle and is caused when vehicle occupants strike the dashboard, steering wheel, windows, or when objects within the vehicle strike interior parts of the vehicle b. Relating internal contact damage to injuries sustained by the vehicle occupants assists in determining the seating position of the occupants 2. Induced damage occurs when part of the vehicle is displaced a. Induced damage is often found adjacent to or around the contact damage and is caused by the forces of the contact damage b. While the area may not have contacted any other object, it was damaged by the force of the crash

Dynamics of Steering:

1. Counter steering - a method of counteracting the forces created in a skid, dry or wet, by steering in the direction of the skid, or the intended path of travel 2. Under steering - usually caused by excessive speed. The vehicle will tend to continue in a straight line and resist turning due to loss of traction with the front tires (i.e., wheels are turned, and the vehicle continues straight) 3. Over steering a. Reduces the desired cornering radius as a vehicle progresses through a turn, requiring the driver to rotate the steering wheel away from the direction of the turn b. Is the result of excessive speed, hydroplaning, or improper braking as the rear wheels lose their lateral traction before the front tires, causing the rear of the vehicle to slide toward the outside of the turn

Differences between Cover and Concealment:

1. Cover - a position or situation affording protection from gunfire a. Officer's should always seek the best position for cover available i. Advantages: 1. Offers ballistic protection from being shot 2. May allow time to assess situation 3. Allows officer to fire at the threat while minimizing exposure to themselves ii. Disadvantages: 1. May not provide full ballistic protection 2. May limit visibility 3. Difficult to move from 2. Concealment - Anything that protects from being observed a. Concealment alone does not protect an officer from the suspect's fire b. If cover Is not available, officer should seek concealment i. Advantages: 1. Protection from observation 2. May not limit officer's visibility to return fire 3. May provide time to evaluate situation ii. Disadvantages: 1. Does not provide ballistic protection

Ejector mechanism engages the expended cartridge b. Casing is expelled 5. COCK a. Striker/hammer resets 6. FEED a. Slide moves forward b. Round is stripped from top of magazine 7. CHAMBER a. Round starts movement into chamber 8. LOCK a. Slide closes b. Cartridge is locked into position for firing

Civil Liability Considerations Associated with Using Force Against Those With Diminished Capacity/Mental Illness:

1. Federal courts have ruled that diminished capacity of an unarmed suspect must be considered when assessing the reasonableness of the amount of force exerted 2. Different tactics should be employed against unarmed, emotionally distraught individual who is resisting arrest or creating a disturbance than would be used against an armed and dangerous criminal who has recently committed a serious offense

Possible Stress Reactions During a Life-Threatening Encounter:

1. Fight a. In the position of fighting for your life or someone else's, you are already programmed to destroy that threat by any means possible b. Your body's autonomic nervous system is preparing for battle and/or attempting to minimize damage 2. Flight a. Chemical changes under high stress also produce a natural urge to get away from that threat as quickly as possible b. As animals of prey, we are programmed for speed and flight from danger c. This reaction can be very frustrating for officers, since many times we feel this is not an option 3. Freeze a. The overload of stress may cause the body to lock up b. Freezing may also be an attempt to not be perceived as a threat c. Much like the frustration with the flight response, this is not an option and can be overcome through proper training

Cardinal Rules of Crime Scene Photography:

1. Fill the frame a. If something is important enough to have a close-up photograph, fill the frame b. Too many times, the primary subject can get lost in the background c. If the background elements are not considered essential to the close-up, try to minimize or eliminate them 2. Maximize depth of fiend a. Depth of field is the variable range from the foreground to the background, of what appears to be in sharp focus b. Having correct depth of field is important when you have multiple pieces of evidence within a crime scene, as they all need to be in focus at the same time c. You must know how to operate your camera to maximize the depth of field by changing the aperture setting (i.e., f-stops) d. If you only focus on the front, the farthest item will be out of focus e. If substantial pieces are out of focus, it may not be a "fair and accurate representation of the scene" f. As you looked around the scene, each part was in focus, and your photograph should accurately represent that 3. Keep the lens perpendicular to the subject a. If the close-up is parallel to the subject, the close up may not be able to be used for comparison purposes b. Using a tripod will often help with lighting/shadowing when taking perpendicular photographs

Steps for Administering First Aid to an Individual Who Has Been Exposed to the Chemical Agent OC:

1. First aid a. Remove individual from contaminated area b. Flush exposed tissue with clean, fresh water c.

Most social media sites will accommodate letter of preservation requests using the suspect's user name or email address; you will need to be specific on the dates and times you want preserved 3. Requests to preserve are sent under the authority of 18 U.S.C. 2703(f), and you can ask for anything (e.g., content, non-content) from the past to be preserved 4. You can only request data or content that was from the past; you cannot request information that has not been created yet (e.g., you cannot request all items the user posts starting tomorrow) 5.

General Indicators of Methamphetamine Labs:

1. Containers with layers of both liquids and solids 2. Containers with multiple layers of liquid 3. Containers with tubes or hoses attached

Acceptable Backing Methods:

1.) With good, routine backing habits, an officer will be able to minimize the risks generated while backing during an emergency. The chances for a backing collision increase with emergency response because officers seldom practice backing at higher speeds with heightened emotions 2.) Back in a straight line if possible a. Keep one hand on the top of the steering wheel b. Turn body to right, look over right shoulder, and look through the rear window if possible or use your mirrors as mentioned in the practical portion c. Check mirrors and front of vehicle periodically d. The front of the vehicle will be extremely sensitive to any steering movements e. Keep speed constant f. Brake smoothly, as front wheel lock up is likely if hard braking is applied g. While backing, especially at higher rate of speed, should the driver start to lose control, stop the vehicle, correct the steering input h.

Distress (i.e., bad stress) a. Negative, dysfunctional force that may lead to disease and the deterioration of health b. Generally refers to job pressures and demands that trigger negative behaviors (e.g., losing your temper, yelling, excessive force, and/or drug/alcohol abuse) c. Negative stressors have the potential to: i. Cause anxiety or concern ii. Decrease overall performance d. May be short or long term e.

1. Scene security is isolating and protecting the area by prohibiting access 2. May move un-injured, un-contaminated people to outside of the emergency area 3. Anyone inside the area will have to be contained until better equipped responders arrive for decontamination of exposed persons

The Most Crucial Component of the Officer Initiated Contact is the Assessment:

1. Without assessment, officers cannot choose a plan of action 2. The officer is constantly assessing and re-assessing the threat level for factors that may appear or change and necessitate tactical adjustment 3. Assessment can change a situation at any time before and during the vehicle stop. This could be based upon: a. Additional information received b. Officer observations c. Actions by the suspect, passengers, or others within close proximity to the contact

Circumstances when Filming the Police is Permissible

The search is limited to only those places and things that the person expressly or impliedly authorized to be searched D. The search is not unduly intrusive a. While officers may be thorough in their search, they are not permitted to be destructive b. In addition, the length of the search must be consistent with the type and complexity of the search for which permission was granted

Curtilage and Open Fields

A. Curtilage refers to the area immediately surrounding the home, which is usually used for domestic purposes (e.g. garage, yard) B.

Whether the area is within an enclosure surrounding the home 3. The nature and uses to which the area is put (e.g. whether the area is used for family) 4. The steps taken by the resident to protect the area from view of passerby

Factors Necessary for the commission of a Crime

Modifying Behavior 4 "D's" of Crime Prevention: Deny Delay Detect Deter

The Community Bank Account Concept as it relates to Procedural Justice

A. Every encounter is an ethical deposit or withdrawal (an opportunity increase or decrease of public perception of Police legitimacy) B. Deposits Police must build up reserves of public trust through actions that reflect courtesy, kindness and honesty. C. Withdrawals a. Occur from the community bank account when Police actions reflect overreaction, discourteousness, or disrespectful behavior or when the Police ignore people or betray their trust. i. If a large reserve of trust is not sustained by continual deposits, the community Police relationship will deteriorate. ii. Significant decrease in public approval of the Police after major publicized incidents of misconduct iii. Studies show that even simple, brief encounters can be used to build Police legitimacy when 1. Processes are explained 2. Words are used that communicate respect. D. For a person holding negative attitudes toward the Police, a single positive encounter may not be sufficient to shake pre-existing views, but a sustained exposure to positive interactions can start to reshape them.

Implicit biases are related to explicit biases, but are still distinct concepts. a. While the two types of biases may reinforce each other, implicit biases can be disassociated from explicit biases - our implicit biases do not necessarily align with our explicit biases. b. Implicit Biases are largely hidden from us, but their effects are pervasive and powerful, and understanding implicit biases is important because they have the potential to impact your interactions and efforts to effectively use procedural justice tactics to promote Police legitimacy.

How to Interview a Human Trafficking Victim:

1) Preferably before the interview, identify other resource agencies in your area and communicate with them; consider a. Human trafficking task force b. Federal law enforcement agencies c. Other local law enforcement agencies d. Human trafficking coalitions e. Social service providers f. Nonprofit organizations 2) If you are the responding officer to a situation, your preliminary interview will be your key to gathering information as to whether or not you should investigate further or contact additional resources 3) You may encounter traffickers who will attempt to offer explanations of the situation, which makes it extremely important for you to note the following about others at the crime scene a. What are their living conditions? b. What are their working conditions? c. Are there indications of restricted movement (e.g., are they allowed to leave)? d. Are they forced to make frequent moves? e. Are there any behavioral indicators of severe dependency (e.g., submissive behavior, fearful behavior in the presence of others)? f. Who is in physical possession of their legal documents or identification? g. Who insists on providing information to law enforcement? h. Are they in the country legally? i. Do you need an interpreter on scene? (Be wary of people already on the scene who volunteer to interpret - they may be the traffickers, so you will want to briefly screen them) 4) What to expect from victims a. When identifying and recovering potential victims, it's important to have realistic expectations b. Most victims do not self-identify as victims and will often deny they are in a situation of exploitation or abuse to protect their perpetrators as they are more fearful of retaliation c. Victims may remain silent and fearful or may project anger and aggression toward law enforcement as a defense mechanism d. It may take multiple interactions and interviews with victims to begin piecing together their stories. Patience is crucial, especially when the victim is a minor or foreign national who may not know the norms of the justice system e. Many victims have been brainwashed and have been coached in their stories by their perpetrators. They will resort to using those stories until trust is established f. It's important to remember that re-telling their stories may be traumatic and/or seen as shameful, making them reluctant to give the story upfront 5) Building rapport with the human trafficking victim will help you get more information and help to minimize stress and fear the victim may be experiencing a. Rapport can be built with time, a non-threatening demeanor, and repeated assurances to the victim that you are there to help b. A good way to begin building a rapport is to ask very simple, general questions c. Make it a conversation d. Appease; don't be confrontational 6) Interview considerations a. It is important to minimize fear and build trust with victims while also being honest about the circumstances being investigated b. The process of building trust can be more successful when law enforcement makes an effort to be victim centered 7) Recommendations for law enforcement a. Minimize the number of individuals at the interview site when doing the interview b. Provide access to an interpreter, even if the victim speaks conversational English c. Watch for signs of discomfort and/or exhaustion d. Allow access to food, water, and breaks e. Avoid using intimidation tactics on the victim (e.g., do not threaten arrest, deportation, or taking the victim's children) f. Avoid physical contact with the victim g. Be patient and allow the truth to unfold h. Avoid using terms or language the victim does not use i. Avoid referring to victims as prostitutes, illegals, slaves, etc. j. Avoid the term pimp when referring to the suspect - instead use whatever terminology the victim uses (e.g., boyfriend) k. Don't make promises you can't keep l. Choose an appropriate interview location 8) Interview location a. You should interview any potential victims outside of the presence of the suspected trafficker b. The interview site should not be at a location where the perpetrator can easily intimidate the victim c. If the victim is in close proximity to the perpetrator, you may get the victim away from the perpetrator by explaining that you need him/her to come to your vehicle so you can gather some more identifying information, rather than saying you need to interview him/her d. Consider the level of comfort available at the interview site over extended hours of interviewing and interaction

General Indicators of Inhalant Use:

1. Disorientation 2. Slurred speech 3. Residue of substance on hands, face, and/or clothing 4. Confusion 5. Possible nausea

Simple Protocol for First Responders at Possible Clandestine Laboratories:

1. Do not touch anything 2. Do not sniff anything 3. Do not open anything 4. Follow agency policy/procedure

Options for Handling a Threat from a Companion Animal:

1. Distractions and escape options a. If a dog encounter turns threatening, determine if any distractions are available (e.g., ball or stick lying on ground, dog treat) b. If your vehicle is close by and you have distracted the doggo, consider slowly backing up toward protection or get in your vehicle c. If you are not able to get to your vehicle, determine if there is something in your surroundings that you can put between you and the dog i. Garbage can ii. Garbage can lid iii. Clipboard iv. Chair 2. Intermediate weapons a. If distractions or escaping the situation are impractical or unavailable, you may need to use other items that are available on your person b. Impact weapons can be used for blocking, redirecting a dog attack, or used as a bite stick; be aware that the motions involved in opening, may be seen as threatening by some dogs 3. OC is the only chemical weapon that can be highly effective on dogs and, therefore, is the only chemical weapon that should be considered for use on dogs a. Because of differences in anatomy and physiology of animals, dogs experience few, if any, of the symptoms induced by CN in humans b. Likewise, CS is virtually ineffective on on-human animals 4. Electrical weapons a. In field reports of electrical weapon use on dogs, most officers reported that the period of immobilization was shorter than for people b. When using an electrical weapon on dogs, officers must deploy it differently than when using it on people c. Most of a dog's body mass is horizontal or parallel to the ground, therefore, the electrical weapon needs to be held sideways so that the probes spread horizontally when fired d. Due to the fact that dogs are smaller than people, officers firing electrical weapons must be closer to a dog than to a person, less than 10 feet e. Have a backup plan because animals can move fast, and you are very close to the animal at this point 5. Environmental weapons (e.g., flashlights, clipboards, fire extinguishers) can be used for blocking or redirecting a doggo attack a. Fire extinguishers serve a dual purpose are they are also a highly effective tool if discharged toward a dog b. Not only can fire extinguishers produce a startling expanding and cold cloud, but they also produce an aversive noise and have a bad taste and odor 6. Lethal force a. As for the legal standards regarding the use of force and animals, the companion animals do not, themselves, independently have legal rights, their owners certainly do b. Because the courts consider companion animals to be personal property, they consider use of force against a companion animal a seizure under the Fourth Amendment subject to the reasonableness standard c. You should be prepared to submit a detailed report of the encounter, just like you would with other incidents d. Keep in mind most doggos are much smaller than a human threat; always be aware of the direction of your muzzle and what is beyond the threat e. When a LEO shoots a dog that does not constitute a serious threat, community trust is eroded, and the department is opened to potential lawsuits or other legal action f. Always follow your agency policy and procedures

Two Most Common Methods by Which an Officer May Be Injured or Killed During an Officer Initiated Contact:

CS gas rises (i.e., apply low on a crowd and it will rise) g. Psychological effects i. Extreme burning of the eyes accompanied by copious flow of tears ii. Involuntary closures of the eyes; however, strong willed individuals may be able to overcome this response iii. Runny nose, sinus discharge, nasal drip iv. Stinging sensation on moist skin v. Tightness in the chest airways and throat that is sometimes described as feeling like a heart attack vi. Dizziness vii. Prolonged exposure can result in nausea and vomiting 3. OC a. Labeling color code - Orange b. Flammability i. Stream delivery products are non-flammable ii. Foaming products are flammable c. The effects are mostly evident within seconds after use and last approximately 30 minutes d. OC gas is heavier than air (i.e., apply it high and it will fall) e. Description i. Oily resin in a refined form ii. Odorless f. Psychological effects i. Burning and inflammation to 1. Exposed skin 2. Mucous membranes 3. Eyes 4. Nose ii. Causes involuntary eye closure g. General psychological effects i. Panic ii. Possible loss of will to fight 4. Possible health hazards of chemical agents (these hazards occur in very high concentrations) a. Can cause dehydration under heavy concentration b. Can cause chemical burns c. Death can result for people who have had heart, lung, or kidney problems d. Using wet towels as a mask may cause the skin to burn e. Repeated contact with some agents may cause skin inflammation f. Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea g. Temporary effects may be more severe on those persons who are asthmatic or suffer from emphysema h. May affect the elderly as well as small children more severely 5. Forms of chemical agent dissemination a. Micro-pulverized powder (i.e., explosion) i. Agent is disseminated in a dust cloud ii. Presents little or no fire hazard iii. May be deployed indoors and outdoors iv. Agents in expulsion form 1. CS 2. OC 6. Pyrotechnic (e.g., combustible that creates fire) a. Compressed agent cakes or pellets are combined with a pyrotechnic compound b. The pyrotechnic compound is ignited and the agent is carried in the smoke cloud c. Best used in outdoor deployments where there is a less risk of igniting fires d. Available in continuous discharge grenade form or canister form that can be fired from a 40mm launcher 7. Fog a. Outdoor deployment b. Heated formula creates a vapor to carry the agent 8. Liquid a. An agent is suspended in a liquid b. Agent is disseminated by evaporation or direct contact 9. Chemical agent delivery systems a. Grenades i. Types 1. Expulsion/blast dispersion a. Powdered agent b. Generates a dust cloud 2. Aerosol a. Fuse ignition delivers an aerosol fog b. Non-flammable 3. Pyrotechnic ii. Deployment 1. Hand thrown 2. Launched a. 12 gauge shotgun with launching apparatus

Two Approach Patterns:

1. Left-side walk-up 2. Right-side walk-up 3. Left-side walk-up: a. Approach preparation b. Visually monitor the occupant actions - shoulders, hands, eyes c. Maintain weapon awareness i. Keep jacket zipped, if worn, and tucked away from the firearm ii. Keep the holster retention secured d. Begin the approach and sensory sweep i. Wait for a break in traffic that will allow time to exit and approach ii. To maintain noise discipline, don't slam the cruiser door iii. Approach, keeping close to the cruiser, near the door and hood iv. After passing front bumper of cruiser, cut in and follow a path aligned with the left side of the suspect's vehicle v. Rely on hearing and peripheral vision to monitor traffic e. Mid approach i. Monitor actions of the driver and passengers continually, with glances at other areas ii. Monitor brake lights and trunk f. Application of brake or reverse lights evaluate the threat g. There are two schools of thought on touching the trunk, and which one used will be determined by assessment i. Touch the trunk to ensure against unexpected opening ii. Do not touch the trunk; this action may give away your position and slow the approach h. Check rear seat area to confirm number of occupants i. Take note of unusual sounds or smells j. Contact at the suspect's vehicle i. Stay behind the rear or trailing edge of the front door ii. Your body should be close to, but not touching, the suspect's vehicle 1. This position will create a severe angle for the suspect attempting to shoot the officer 2. Staying behind the trailing edge of the door prevents the officer from being struck by the door opening iii. Concentrate on occupant's/s' hands and sudden movements iv. Verbally address the suspect. Be polite but in control v. What questions or statements should the officer make and in what order? 1. Greet - Greet the suspect 2. I.D. - Identify yourself and your agency 3. Reason - State the reason for the vehicle stop 4. Request the suspect's operator's license, proof of insurance, and CCW license, if necessary vi. Never reach in the vehicle to grab anything from any occupant with your dominant hand vii. Take the documents with your non-dominant hand viii. Hold the license high enough so you need only move your eyes to see both the license and the suspect's hands ix. Advise the suspect that you are going back to your cruiser to review the documents and, for his/her safety, he/she should remain in the vehicle and await your return k. Returning to the cruiser - pre-citation and post-citation i. Utilize a technique based on your assessment of the suspect and traffic that maintains your safety ii. One option is to turn your head "down the middle" toward the curb nearest the passenger side of the cruiser (i.e., driver's side for the right side approach) iii. Upon reaching the cruiser door, pause and check the suspect's position and movement again iv. Take a mental snapshot of the vehicle and occupant position(s) l. Generating a citation and re-approaching the vehicle i. Your primary concern must be your safety ii. Divided attention provides an opportunity for aggressive actions by any vehicle occupant iii. Monitor the occupant's/s' actions frequently and check mirrors to maintain traffic awareness iv. Any unnecessary sound should being eliminated (e.g., turn down any music) v. When generating a citation, keep the interior lights to a minimum. Red lighting allows less cruiser interior visibility vi. When you have completed any necessary checks and paperwork, if the assessment has not changed, you can return to the suspect's vehicle to return documents and/or enforcement papers vii. Re-approach the suspect vehicle with the same officer safety diligence and assessment performed in the initial approach viii. Safely return to the cruiser 4. Right-side walk-up: a. Most Americans are right handed, and the officer will have a better view of the occupant's right hand as it is more difficult to hide with body position b. Any actions to toss contraband into another part of the vehicle or hand it off will be easier to see c. Allows a greater plain view of the interior d. Provides greater time and distance from the driver should he/she become hostile or aggressive 5. Differences from left-side walk-up a. When you get to the front bumper of the cruiser, move quickly, but under control, across the front of the cruiser until aligned slightly right of the right side front bumper b. If walking behind the cruiser, move to the rear of the cruiser while assessing. Then move quickly, but under control, across the rear of the cruiser until aligned slightly right of the right side rear bumper of the cruiser c. Addressing the suspect will be from a position equal with the passenger side door jamb slightly behind the vehicle operator d. The officer should be prepared for sudden activity from the interior and in a stance conducive to accessing weapons and/or retreating to cover

Surveillance Methods:

1. Mobile - Foot surveillance a. Plainclothes assignment i. Used when suspects are walking in public locations where they may meet with other suspects and/or make drops (e.g., drugs, money, information) ii. Is the most successful using multiple officers (e.g., three) 1. Surveillant A keeps a very close tail immediately behind the subject 2. Surveillant B Follows behind Surveillant A and the subject 3. Surveillant C observes from across the street parallel with the other two 4. If the subject turns a corner or enters a building, Surveillant A keeps walking and B or C picks up the tail iii. The target can be handed off to other officers if necessary iv. Often used during a dignitary or witness protection detail v. Usually, but not always, covert in nature b. Tactics i. Cross to the other side of the street ii. Talk to someone iii. Read something iv. Buy something v. Tinker with a car vi. If the subject stops suddenly, walk on by without paying attention 2. Mobile - Vehicle surveillance a. Officer considerations i. Have the ability to conduct simultaneous tasks 1. Operate recording equipment 2. Maintain radio contact 3. Note taking ii. Have the ability to react to or anticipate the subject's moves 1. Subject changes vehicles 2. Subject enters high traffic situation iii. Interference 1. People a. Subject's associated potentially conducting counter surveillance b. Innocent bystanders 2. Traffic a. Congestion b. Construction c. Traffic signals d. Multiple subject vehicles - be aware the subject could possibly be traveling with associates in other vehicles that might be aware of an officer's presence b. Techniques i. Shadowing - one officer in one car following the subject ii. Paralleling 1. One or more officers travel along parallel streets 2. If the subject makes a turn, the paralleling unit can resume the shadow 3. Useful technique in urban areas iii. Leapfrog - if possible, make sure vehicles used are appropriate for the neighborhood 1. The lead car slows down and allows another officer to pass and become the lead car 2. Useful if the lead officer feels the subject is getting suspicious iv. Progressive 1. Surveillance conducted in stages 2. The subject is followed from each point of his/her travels 3. Can be time consuming depending on how long the subject stays at each location c. Signs surveillance has been compromised i. The subject takes frequent right, left, or U turns ii. Stops, pulls or steps over, and waits/watches iii. Varies speed iv. Takes highway exits and gets right back on v. Stops beyond a hill or crest vi. If the officer notices counter surveillance d. Cautions i. Following too close 1. If the target makes a stop, make sure not to get boxed in 2. Always allow room to move around the subject's vehicle if you need to leave quickly ii. Interstate/highway shadowing 1. Allow as much distance as possible to avoid detection 2. You do not need to see the subject, just the subject's vehicle 3. Fixed/stationary surveillance a. An officer maintains a continuous view of the suspect, the suspect's location, or a location the suspect is expected to return to b. Special vehicles are especially useful for this type of surveillance (e.g., decoy car, work van/truck with hidden surveillance equipment) c. Make sure the vehicles are appropriate for the neighborhood d. Remember officer safety - if you can see the subject, the subject might be able to see you e. Electronic surveillance can include i. Pole cams ii. Phone rings iii. GPS devices iv. Monitoring social media v. Complex sire taps vi. Consult with legal authority (e.g., prosecutor) regarding any legal requirements if using anything to enhance the ability to observe

Primary Responsibility of the First Responder to a Crime Scene:

1. Officer safety a. Although it may not immediately be apparent, be aware that the offender may still be at the scene and, if this is the case, apprehend him/her b. Keep in mind that the offender is a crime scene in him/her self c. In addition to human threats at crime scenes, you must consider other, not so obvious threats to your safety (e.g., biological hazards, chemicals, fumes, manufactured drugs, booby traps, and structural issues) d. If a weapon is present, you do not need to unload and secure it immediately unless there is a potential risk that the weapon may be touched by an unauthorized person e. While life saving actions always take precedence over evidence collection, you may have to conduct a protective sweep of the scene to ensure that an offender is not present before any life saving measures can take place 2. Rendering Aid a. Once the scene is deemed to be safe, there may be individuals on scene who need first aid b. In cases where aid must be rendered, it is often unavoidable that the crime scene is altered c. If aid is being rendered to individuals at the scene and objects are being moved within the scene, it is imperative that those actions are noted and documented d. Attempt to mitigate any damage done by EMT's through reasonable limitations that do not limit lifesaving procedures (e.g., escort them around the scene, limit how many come in, point out potential evidence, limit access points, prevent from discarding medical supplies) e. If EMT's or other first responders have stepped in blood or other fluids inadvertently, obtain footwear impressions from these individuals to eliminate their footprints from the potential suspects footprints ASAP f. In your report, document any explanations as to why items were moved, their condition prior to being moved, who moved them, and where they were moved to g. If the victim is transported to the hospital, an officer should be assigned to go with the victim to: i. Obtain a consent to search ii. Secure the victim's clothing that may be evidence iii. Witness a dying declaration h. Pronouncement of death: i. In Ohio, a physician may pronounce a person dead without personally examining the body of the deceased only if a competent observed recited the facts of the deceased's present medical condition to the physician and the physician is satisfied that death has occurred 1. The meaning of competent observer is defined in O.A.C. 4731-13-01(C) 2. A law enforcement officer cannot pronounce a person dead and is not defined as a competent observer ii. You need to make sure you follow agency policy and procedures in the event you are responding to a person who is obviously dead (e.g., decapitated, decomposing) 3. Securing the scene a. The size of the perimeter will be determined by the nature of the incident b. A perimeter may be established by simply removing all individuals from the scene and closing a door c. It may be necessary to surround the area (e.g., barrier tape, cones, cruisers, personnel) d. In some cases (e.g., breaking and entering, overnight business burglary), it may be as simple as telling the property owner you will be processing the scene for physical evidence, and asking that they remain out of the way e. Larger more complex scenes may require both an inner and outer perimeter i. The inner perimeter is the perimeter around the actual crime scene 1. Only individuals who have a legitimate purpose (e.g., investigators, EMT's, coroners, body transport personnel) should be allowed in the inner perimeter 2. A crime scene log should be maintained at the inner perimeter to record the names of everyone who enters the inner perimeter along with their in/out times and the reason for their entry ii. Outer perimeter 1. May be as simple as placing a patrol unit at both ends of the block to keep unnecessary persons from approaching the scene 2. It may be permissible to allow other law enforcement or residents onto the street but prohibit all others (e.g., curious citizens, media) 3. It is a good practice to establish the perimeter father out than you think is necessary 4. It is easier to scale back a perimeter than it is to move it out 5. The perimeter should also include entry and escape paths used by the suspect(s) 6. These paths are a good source of evidence (e.g., footwear/tire impressions, discarded evidence) 4. Interacting with witnesses a. Upon your arrival, witnesses are often present, and they may provide you with additional information b. Restrict movement of witnesses to prevent contamination or destruction of evidence i. Separate witnesses so that information is not shared ii. In some cases, it is appropriate to examine and photograph the clothing of witnesses iii. If you are going to examine and photograph the witnesses' clothing, make sure you place the witnesses in good light, photograph their clothes, examine their hands for evidence, and photograph if needed

Caregiver improperly restrains the child (e.g., handcuffed to a bed, taped to a chair) or locks child in a confined space i. Caregiver does not provide for educational needs of the child (e.g., does not send child to school, impedes academic process)

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) Selection Considerations at a Hazmat Incident:

1. Proper selection of PPE for individual responders must be based upon a careful assessment of two factors a. The hazards anticipated to be present or are present at the scene b. The probable impact of those hazards, based upon the mission role of the individual 2. The amount of protection required is material and hazard specific a. The EPA has established a set of four chemical protective PPE ensembles (A through D) that provide certain protection levels and are commonly used by fire and emergency service organizations b. Level D is the lowest level of protection and represents what an average law enforcement officer may have available while on duty c. Law enforcement officers may have PPE available that would provide blood and body fluid pathogen barrier protection i. Outer protective garments - may be configured to cover only parts of the body or torso ii. Gloves iii. Footwear iv. Face protection d. No single type of PPE protects against all hazards and may well be inadequate for the incident to which an officer could respond e. First responder agencies must individually research the available data on the various ensembles and decide, based on duties performed, what combination of PPE is acceptable for the organizations

1. Provides a compilation of all Ohio statutes relative to victims' rights 2. Contains most of the information peace officers are required to provide to the victim 3. Describe protection orders 4. Identifies services available for victims of crime 5. Includes contact information for state and federal victim services

An Officers Assumed Authority for Traffic Control:

1. R.C.2921.331(A) a. No person shall fail to comply with any lawful order or direction of any police officer invested with authority to direct, control, or regulate traffic

Demonstrate An Unknown-Risk Vehicle Stop:

Verbally address the suspect 7. Return to the cruiser 8. Re-approach the suspect vehicle 9. Return to the cruiser

Relevant Factors in Determining If Force Was Reasonable:

1. Severity of the crime suspected (e.g., theft vs. armed robbery) 2. Whether the suspect is an immediate threat to the safety of Officer(s) or others 3. Whether the suspect is actively resisting 4. Whether the suspect was attempting to evade arrest by flight

Public Safety Exception to the Miranda Warning:

1. Statements elicited from a defendant, as well as real evidence resulting from such statements, may be used in evidence even if the officers do not recite Miranda warning before asking questions if the officers' safety or the safety of others is in jeopardy

Peace Officer's Duties in Response to the Gang Problem:

1. Stay educated on gang trends 2. Document any potential gang activity with notes and photography 3. Become familiar with jurisdiction and take notice of repeat offenders and the nicknames used 4. Develop contacts with other agencies to share information

Goals in a High-Risk Vehicle Stop:

1. Take all the time needed to pre-plan the stop 2. If possible, wait for backup prior to initiating the stop 3. If the suspect forces the stop, cover the vehicle from the safest location possible and hold position until backup arrives 4. In a perfect situation, it is safest to have four officers on scene 5. Cruiser positions should be positioned so as to create a wall between officers and the suspect(s) 6. Maintain cover and concealment in a low profile position a. The engine block provides more effective cover than other areas of the vehicle 7. Cruiser tires may take all the time needed to pre-plan the stop 8. If possible, wait for backup prior to initiating the stop 9. If the suspect forces the stop, cover the vehicle from the safest location possible and hold position until backup arrives 10. In a perfect situation, it is safest to have four officers on scene 11. Cruiser positions should be positioned so as to create a wall between officers and the suspect(s) 12. Maintain cover and concealment in a low profile position a. The engine block provides more effective cover than other areas of the vehicle b. Cruiser tires may offer some protection from rounds striking the ground 13. Maintain weapons coverage on all suspects until all are in custody 14. Initially, control three main things a. Keys i. Placed on roof ii. Thrown out window iii. Brought back to you iv. Circumstances or personal choice dictate which action is chosen v. The goal is to keep the vehicle from being driven away b. Hands i. Out the window ii. Fingers interlaced on top of head iii. Out to the side with palms up iv. The goal being the suspect(s) cannot access a weapon v. Under certain conditions (i.e., presence of a K9) have them open the vehicle doors c. Eyes i. Direct away from officer's actions ii. The goal being the suspect(s) cannot plan an attack d. One officer, if not the primary officer, must be designated to issue assignments to other officers and commands to suspects e. At least one officer should have a long gun (e.g., rifle, shotgun) and be assigned to cover the suspects and vehicle throughout the stop f. Suspects are called out one at a time, starting with the driver, and are placed in a position of disadvantage (e.g., kneeling, prone) - several options are available to communicate these orders i. Use the cruiser P.A. system ii. Use of a strong voice 15. Follow the stages of arrest in proper order: a. Control b. Handcuff c. Search d. Officers assigned this task should not have long guns, as they will need to go hands on and must holster to do so e. Clear the suspect vehicle - in all options, initially use the public address system to give any remaining suspects the opportunity to come out 16. Consider the following options: a. Using a K9, if available and there is an open suspect vehicle door b. Cruiser drive by with cover officer walking beside c. Chemical weapon deployment from a delivery system that allows officers to maintain cover (e.g., pepper ball) 17. Officer approach - presents the most risk to officers a. Two officers are designated to make a rapid, low profile approach to respective positions at the rear corners of the suspect vehicle b. Stacking variation driver side - make a rapid, low profile approach to the respective positions on the driver side rear quarter panel of the vehicle c. Stacking variation passenger side - make a rapid, low profile approach to respective positions on the passenger side rear quarter panel of the vehicle d. There are two schools of thought on touching the trunk i. Touch the trunk to ensure against unexpected opening ii. Do not touch the trunk; this action may give away your position and slow the approach e. Check the rear seat by a "quick peek" method f. Yell "clear" or "suspect" g. Check the front seat in the same manner h. Any observed suspects should cause officers to seek cover and issue additional commands i. If the interior is clear, retrieve the keys and check the trunk, staying close to the vehicle on each officer's respective side j. In all actions, crossfire situations must be avoided

A Peace Officer's Priorities in Protecting the scene of a Crash:

1. The 2. The first priority is to the crash victims and the first responders 3. Always wear your high visibility safety vest when directing traffic or investigating crashes 4. Check for injuries: a. Even if you were dispatched to a non-injury accident, check for injuries b. EMS should always be requested to respond to the scene if an injury is reported or suspected c. If responding to a fatality, always protect and cover up the deceased victims d. Any injured or deceased victims should be treated the same as you would treat your own family members 5. Protect the involved vehicles and other evidence at the crash scene 6. Place sufficient and adequate warning devices (e.g., signs, reflectors, flares, fuses, traffic cones) on approaches to the scene as well as appropriate directional signage within the scene area, to give proper warning to drivers and other highway users

Information an Officer Must Relay to a Defendant Concerning the Defendant's failure to Appear in Court at the Time Stated on the Affidavit or Pay for a Traffic Ticket:

1. The defendant's driver's license or commercial driver's license will be suspended 2. The defendant is not eligible for reissuance of a license or certification of registration until the person appears and complies with all orders of the court 3. The defendant remains subject to any applicable criminal penalties

Interrogation:

1. The formal, systematic, or intensive questioning by the police of a person arrested or suspected of committing a crime

Strip Search:

1. The inspection of a naked individual without scrutinizing the subject's body cavities

Considerations to be Made When Investigating a Missing Child or Adult and When Recovering a Victim of Human Trafficking:

1. The missing child or adult you are investigating may be a victim of human trafficking; the victim of human trafficking that you are recovering may have been reported missing

The Process for Arresting a Juvenile:

1. The juvenile is suspected of, or caught violating a law a. If the offense is minor, the officer may choose to exercise discretion and not file a charge i. The officer may counsel the juvenile ii. The officer may contact the juvenile's guardian iii. The officer can direct the juvenile and/or guardian to community resources that might provide assistance, if necessary 2. If the offense is more serious, the officer should begin standard investigation procedures a. Interview the juvenile to gather information b. The officer might contact the juvenile's guardian at this time; this is a matter of consideration, not as a matter of law 3. If the officer believes probable cause exists to charge the youth, the youth can be taken into custody for processing a. Fingerprinting b. Photograph c. Interrogation 4. The juvenile may be placed in juvenile detention or released to the guardian 5. Again, the officer should take the opportunity to refer the juvenile and his/her guardian to community resources 6. Interview and interrogation considerations a. As previously discussed, juveniles are afforded the same rights as adults in investigatory procedures (e.g., search/seizure, self-incrimination) b. Therefore, in a custodial interrogation encounter, the officer must inform the youth of the Miranda warning and ensure his/her rights are understood c. When questioning a juvenile, the officer should consider several factors i. The age of the youth - if the youth is old enough to understand his/her rights and the severity of the situation 1. This is critically important during a custodial interrogation 2. The U.S. Supreme Court held a child's age is a relevant factor to consider in determining whether the child is in custody for purposes of Miranda rights ii. Mental state - is the juvenile free of intellectual disability? iii. Physical state - is the youth experiencing drug and/or alcohol impairment? iv. Are there any language or cultural barriers? 7. Considerations while on school grounds a. Schools are trusted with the care of children while on the grounds during school hours b. Therefore, some schools have a strict policy and procedure regarding who can access juveniles 8. Some schools might require a member of staff to be present when an officer needs to make contact with a student 9. Other schools will require the juvenile's guardian to be present, or will contact the guardian to alert him/her of the officer's request 10. Again, there is no statutory requirement for the officer to notify the parent of an interview/interrogation; in addition, the school has no legal authority to prevent the officer from conducting his/her investigation 11. However, depending on the nature of the investigation and the officer's departmental policy and procedure, the officer might consider conducting the interview at another time and place 12. Conversely, there might be schools that give officers full access to students 13. It is important to maintain positive, working relationships with school personnel 14. Oftentimes, when a peace officer is called to a school to investigate a situation involving a juvenile, school officials have conducted their own investigation 15. The officer can review information, and evidence from the school's investigation in order to help establish probable cause 16. The officer should also become familiar with charges that are specific to violations on or near school grounds, and those that have increased penalties 17. Disorderly Conduct - M-4, if in the vicinity of a school of safety zone 18. Illegal Conveyance of a Deadly Weapon or Dangerous Ordinance in School Safety Zone a. F-5 b. Also applies to objects indistinguishable from a firearm, whether or not it is capable of being fired; however, penalty is an M-1 if the object is indistinguishable 19. Improperly Discharging Firearm in a School Safety Zone a. F-2 b. Also, incudes discharging a firearm within 1000 feet of a school premises with the intent to cause physical harm to another who is on school grounds, cause panic or fear of physical harm to another, or cause the evacuation of the school 20. Several of the R.C. Chapter 2925 Drug Offenses have increased penalties if committed in a school safety zone or in the vicinity of a juvenile

Miranda Warning:

1. The suspect has the right to remain silent 2. If the suspect gives up the right to remain silent, anything the suspect says can be used in a court of law against him or her 3. The suspect has the right to speak to an attorney and have an attorney present when being questioned by the police 4. If the suspect cannot afford one, an attorney will be appointed to represent the suspect before questioning begins

Two Conditions for an Officer to Read the Miranda Warning to a Suspect:

1. The suspect is in custody AND 2. The suspect is being questioned/interrogated

The Standard against Which a Waiver Will Be Judged When an Accused Waives his/her Miranda Rights:

1. The warning and waiver have been given and that the statements were made knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently

Types of Resistance:

1. There are two basic types of resistance: active resistance and passive resistance a. Passive Resistance - When a person exhibits no resistive movement in response to verbal commands and other direction i. It is unreasonable to use significant force on a restrained subject, even if some level of passive resistance is presented ii. When a suspect refuse to follow an officer's orders but otherwise poses no safety threat, use of significant force is unreasonable iii. Failing to exit a vehicle is passive resistance iv. Noncompliance, not paired with any signs of verbal hostility or physical resistance, is passive resistance b. Active Resistance - When a person exhibits resistant movements to avoid physical control or, as a passive resistor, the person presents a credible threat to an officer (e.g., lying on hands and not responding to commands to make hands visible) i. Force is only justifiable in the face of active resistance, (i.e., some outward manifestation, either verbal or physical, on the part of the suspect suggesting volitional and conscious defiance) ii. If a suspect actively resists arrest, officers do not violate the Fourth Amendment by using an electrical weapon to subdue him/her

Explosive Effects of an IED:

1. Thermal a. High explosives - short duration b. Low explosives - long duration c. Powdered aluminum or magnesium may be used to increase thermal effect (i.e., raise the temperature) 2. Blast a. The two phases of a blast are positive and negative b. In the positive phase, the blast wave moves out and pushes the air out creating a vacuum c. The negative phase is when the air rushes back to fill the vacuum or void caused by the initial positive phase 3. Fragmentation - the material thrown out by the blast that is in close proximity to the point of detonation a. Primary - made up of the container, munitions case, or shrapnel. Moves thousands of feet per second b. Secondary - may include primary fragmentation and debris located near the blast area. Moves hundreds of feet per second

Common Uses for Mobile Field Force:

1. To control unruly crowds, whether hostile or passive 2. To seal off problem areas, regardless of size 3. To rescue citizens or officers from crowds 4. To clear an area of hostile individuals by use of proactive tactics 5. To apprehend multiple offenders a. Keys to successful use of field force i. Pre-planning

1. The formal, systematic, or intensive questioning by the police of a person arrested or suspected of committing a crime

1. To obtain information relevant to an investigation 2. To discover additional evidence relevant to an investigation or establish innocence 3. To obtain accurate and truthful information which may or may not lead to a confession or an admission

Why Surveillance Should Be Conducted:

1. To verify the reliability of information, a tip, or complaint received 2. To protect a government official or other dignitary 3. To obtain sufficient evidence in order to make an arrest or to secure a search warrant 4. To aid in the apprehension of wanted persons or suspects 5. To prevent the commission of a crime 6. To determine locations or drop points of illegal or stolen items 7. To determine residences and hangouts of the surveillance target 8. To study the physical layout of a structure to assist in determining the most feasible method of conducting a raid or approach for an apprehension or rescue

Traditional and Non-traditional Media:

1. Traditional media - sources include television, radio, and print sources and the social media and internet accounts they maintain 2. Non-traditional media - sources include individuals or groups, operating outside of the traditional media outlets, who regularly post information on websites and social media platforms, as well as "citizen journalists" who randomly and opportunistically capture events that have the potential to go viral

The Role of a Peace Officer Regarding Traffic

1. Traffic Enforcement and Investigation a. Traffic Enforcement: i. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the primary tool used to reach the scene of a crime and elude the police is a vehicle 1. The criminal uses the vehicle to get to the crime scene 2. The criminal uses the vehicle as part of the crime 3. The criminal uses the vehicle to leave the crime scene ii. As a PO, if you have probable cause to believe a violation of law exists, then it is your duty and responsibility to take appropriate enforcement action iii. Traffic law enforcement is important in reducing general crime 1. Crimes (e.g., robbery, rape, vehicle theft) may be prevented by a visible police presence 2. The criminal wants to conduct activity without being detected or identified at or near the scene of a crime 3. If the criminal knows there's a great possibility of being contacted by officers, the criminal may choose not to commit the crime or move to a lesser enforced jurisdiction b. Traffic Investigation: i. Officer's will investigate traffic collisions, including hit skip and serious injury involving felony charges ii. They will also investigate specific complaints (e.g., violator's passing school buses, traffic control device not being followed, road rage incidents) iii. Officer's need to be aware that these investigations may turn into something more than just a traffic violation

Clearing Intersections:

1.) Allow for others to adjust to the law enforcement vehicle's approach 2.) Adjust your speed so that others see and hear the emergency warning devices 3.) Use quick, yet thorough, searching methods to clear the intersection to the left, front, and right streets a. Place your chin near your shoulder from left to right b. In order to ensure center vision down cross lanes 4.) Look for additional emergency response vehicles 5.) Change siren pattern to attract attention with a different sound a. Change pitch in advance of intersection b. Return to two handed driving near intersection and concentrate on lane clearing c. The goal is to make sure you have a clear path before you enter the intersection 6.) Intersections are extremely hazardous areas; be aware of limited sight, driver confusion, drivers turning in front of you, and cross traffic unaware of your approach 7.) Never assume an intersection is clear simply because of a green signal or the presence of another officer "holding" the intersection; it is the responsibility of the emergency vehicle operator to make sure the way is clear before entering the intersection 8.) On approach to a multilane intersection, use the lane by lane clearing approach a. Visually clear each lane before you proceed through the intersection b. For example, look and say to yourself, "lane 1, left, right, clear. Lane 2, left, right, clear," etc. 9.) A complete stop at intersections may be the safest option on emergency response

Factors to Consider when determining to Initiate a Vehicle Pursuit:

1.) Legal authority and agency policy a. The guidelines set forth by state law and agency policy ARE NOT OPTIONAL b. Officers are bound by these restrictions whether they personally agree with them or not c. Officers must be absolutely sure what the state law and agency policy allows and that they do not exceed those limits

The Route an Officer should Select when Responding to an Emergency:

1.) The quickest most direct route

The Four Core Principles/ Pillars of Procedural Justice

A. Giving others a voice (i.e. listening) B. Neutrality in decision making C. Respectful treatment D. Trustworthiness A. Voice a. People want an opportunity to explain their situation or tell their side of the story to the officer. b. In practice i. The opportunity for the citizen to make arguments and preserve evidence should occur before you make a decision about how you are going to resolve the conflict. 1. Active listening during this phase makes people feel that they are part of the process and have input, even if it does not impact your decision. B. Neutrality a. concept i. People react positively to evidence that the authorities with whom they are dealing are neutral. 1.Components a. Consistency in decision making for all persons every time b. Decisions are reasoned, objective and factually driven c. Respect for the rules and legal principles d. Transparency and openness about the rules and procedures used to make the decisions facilitates perception of neutrality. 2. In practice a. First secure the situation; Then explain your reason for being there i. When Providing the explanation: 1. Tell the truth 2. Use simple language 3. Be complete in our explanation ii. Check your decision making for effects of implicit biases iii. Right wrongs (when you're wrong, admit it, apologize for it, and work to correct it) do not let pride get in the way of doing the right thing. C. Respectful Treatment. a. Respect is an active process of non-judgmentally engaging people from all backgrounds. b. It is different than tolerance, which is neither positive or negative and requires minimal effort. c. It is practiced to increase our awareness and effectiveness i. Concept 1. People are sensitive to whether they're treated with dignity and politeness and whether their rights are being respected; They will react very negatively to dismissive or demanding interpersonal treatment. ii. In Practice 1. Treat others with respect, equality and dignity 2. Make direct eye contact 3. Address them appropriately 4. Give them your individual attention 5. Be sensitive to cultural differences 6. Do not use inflammatory words or phrases 7. Thank them for their cooperation 8. Show sensitivity to the importance that others place on an issue 9.

Considerations when exercising discretion

A. Use sound judgement to determine which laws are to be formally enforced. B. Determine if there is a more constructive remedy to a situation without an arrest or citation. Prevention Patrol: Deter crime Interrupt a crime in progress Position the officers to respond to emergency situations Increase of feeling of security to citizens. Incident Response: Officers respond to minor situations Typical dispositions include: Gathering information Directing parties to community resources Restore order Complete reports Emergency Response: Takes precedence over all other calls Less common than routine incident calls Includes incidents. Criminal Investigation: Process of discovering, collecting, preparing, identifying and presenting evidence to determine what happened and who is responsible. Investigations carried out by detectives Responding officer secures and protects the scene Detective should be able to pick up where the responding officer left off.

Considerations Officers should be Mindful of when Making a Terry Stop:

A. Use the least intrusive means of detention and investigation reasonably available that will achieve the goal B. Conduct the business of the stop as quickly as possible as to not prolong the period of involuntary detention C. If during that detention, additional facts are uncovered that supply the officer with probable cause to arrest, the individual may be arrested D. If grounds for an arrest are not discovered in a reasonable amount of time, the detainee must be released or the encounter risks becoming a "De Facto" arrest

Plain Feel Doctrine

A. While an officer may not search for objects other than weapons on a Terry stop, if an officer physically feels an object that the officer immediately recognizes as contraband, the object may be seized even if the officers know it is not a weapon B. This only applies when the identity of the object is immediately apparent to the officer from its shape and the way it feels C. When the incriminating nature of the object is immediately apparent, seizing it does not invade the subjects privacy beyond what is allowed in a Terry frisk Personal Notes: 4 Elements to an Arrest The intent to arrest The authority to arrest Seizure and/or detention Understanding: Does the person understand why they are being arrested?

Comprised cognitive control High cognitive overload (processing many thoughts at one time) c3b. Fatigue (tired) B. Result a. When the previous factors are present which they often are in the law enforcement profession, we are more apt to switch to system 1 thinking C. Response a. Engage deliberative processing; slow down your thinking. D. Overcome biases a. Reorganize your stereotypes and reflecting on why the response occurred and creates a process to consider how to avoid the biased response and replace it with an unbiased one Counter Stereotypic Imaging Develop new associations by looking at positive examples that challenge negative associations Obtain specific information about others by intentionally engaging in a meaningful way with others who are different from you, rather than relying on stereotypical references Be empathetic Effort Required Intention, attention and time are needed to build new associations well enough for them to compete with a person implicit biases.

Victim Mindset as it Pertains to a Victim of Human Trafficking:

1) Why victims do not leave their situations, ask for, or accept help a. Fear of the perpetrator b. Victims may develop traumatic bonds with perpetrators and will defend them at all costs, even their own freedom 2) Sex traffickers often take on the following roles a. Role of protector, makes the victim feel special, or that he/she would die for the victim b. Role of friend, lover, boyfriend, husband c. Role of teach, mentor, father, discipline figure d. They capitalize on girls not knowing what a normal relationship is like and they will groom them into victims to create a sense of family 3) Like domestic violence, the perpetrator of sex trafficking becomes the most powerful person in the life of the victim a. The psychology of the victim is shaped by the actions and beliefs of the perpetrator b. The perpetrator often uses a system of punishment and reward - alternating between affection, threats, and violence toward the victim or person or things that the victim loves - in order to keep and maintain control 4) Often the perpetrator has been taking care of the victim for so long that the victim does not know how he/she would obtain basic needs without the perpetrator 5) Isolation, captivity, or confinement 6) Shame or self-blame 7) May be completely unaware of their rights or may have been intentionally misinformed about their rights in this country 8) Fear of law enforcement a.

While many victims have been beaten or raped, their current situation may still be better that from where they came iii. In some parts of the world, law enforcement is corrupt and foreign national victims may bring this fear with them iv. Even here, the few officers who abuse their positions of power may make it difficult for victims to trust any law enforcement v. Victims may also think that law enforcement will not believe them vi. Understanding the historical relationship between victims and law enforcement is critical to building trust and rapport with victims vii. Building trust and rapport and showing empathy allow the officers to break down the barrier of victim distrust towards law enforcement

Photography - taking pictures or videos of persons, facilities, buildings, or infrastructure in an unusual or surreptitious manner that would arouse suspicion of terrorism or other criminality in a reasonable person f. Examples include taking pictures or video of infrequently used access points, the superstructure of a bridge, personnel performing security functions (e.g., patrols, badge/vehicle checking) and security related equipment (e.g., perimeter fencing, security cameras) 2. Observation/surveillance a. Demonstrating unusual or prolonged interest in facilities, buildings, or infrastructure beyond mere casual (e.g., tourist) or professional (e.g., engineers) interest in a manner that would arouse suspicion of terrorism or other criminality in a reasonable person b. Examples include observation through binoculars, taking notes, attempting to mark off or measure distances, etc. 3. Material acquisition/storage - acquisition and/or storage of unusual quantities of materials such as cell phones, pagers, radio control toy servos or controllers; fuel, chemicals, or toxic materials; and timers or other triggering devices and in a manner that would arouse suspicion of terrorism or other criminality in a reasonable person 4.

Weapons collection/discovery - collection or discovery of unusual amounts or types of weapons including explosives, chemicals, or other destructive materials or evidence, detonations or other residue, wounds, or chemical burns, that would arouse suspicion of terrorism or other criminality in a reasonable person 6. Sector-specific incident - actions associated with a characteristic of unique concern to specific sectors (e.g., the public health sector) with regard to their personnel, facilities, systems, or functions in a manner that would arouse suspicion of terrorism or other criminality in a reasonable person

Recognizing Risks Associated with Hazardous Materials:

1. Exposure to hazardous materials a. Acute - a dose or doses received in a short period of time b. Chronic - a long term or reoccurring dose c. both types can have either immediate (e.g., vomiting or diarrhea) or long term effects (e.g., cancer) depending on the material and level of exposure

Eight Techniques of Active Listening:

1. Emotional labeling (i.e., identifying the other person's emotions) a. Provides the opportunity for the other person to acknowledge his/her emotions and possibly explain their cause b. Validates what the other person is saying rather than minimizing it c. Once the emotions have been acknowledged, there is a better opportunity for the person's balance between emotion and cognition to be restored and facts to be developed 2. Reflecting/mirroring (i.e., repeating the last few words or gist of the person in crisis) a. Helps validate for the other person that you are listening and understanding b. May encourage the other person to continue speaking c. Much shorter format than paraphrasing 3. Paraphrasing (i.e., restating in your own words the crux of the other person's message) a. Demonstrates listening and understanding b. Gives the other person the opening to clarify or correct his/her meaning 4. Summarizing (i.e., extended version of paraphrasing; restating both the other person's message and emotion) a. Validates for the other person that he/she has been heard and understood b. Reflects effort to understand the other person's viewpoint of the situation c. It is a crucial part of active listening, as it can bring a sense of relief to the other person and, thereby, reduce his/her actions that are being emotionally driven 5. Silence and effective pauses (i.e., deliberate silences before or after making a meaningful comment) a. Silence - allowing there to be silence before speaking prevents prematurely cutting off the other person and gives the other person the opportunity to continue speaking b. Pauses - when speaking, pauses increase attention and focus when they are used before a meaningful statement and prompt reflection when they are used after a meaningful statement 6. Minimal encouragements (i.e., verbal, and non-verbal cues used when listening to indicate attention the other person's words) a. Examples of verbal minimal encouragements - "uh-huh," "yes," "okay," "go on" b. Examples of non-verbal minimal encouragements - leaning in, nodding head 7. Open ended questions (i.e., questions that require more detailed responses than merely "yes" or "no" to properly answer the question) a. "What" and "how" questions allow you to assess the person's situation b. Avoid "why" questions, which may imply interrogation 8. "I" messages a. Involve the speaker labeling his/her emotions and assigning feelings to his/her interpretation of the situation b. Places focus on the speaker rather than the other person c. Less likely to provoke a defensive or hostile reaction from the other person

The EAR Model's Three Phases of a Crisis Encounter:

1. Engage 2. Assess 3. Resolve 4. Purpose of Engage - to make a connection with the person so you can calm him/her a. The first 10 seconds of a crisis or special populations encounter are critical in setting the tone for de-escalation b. Remove distractions from the scene c. Introduce yourself and ask for the person's name d. State the reason why you are there and let him/her know you are there to help e. If safety is not compromised, remember that special populations encounters are medical encounters and you should begin to look for identifiers f. Ask questions g. Verbalize the subject's observable characteristics h. Ask the person "what help do you need right now?" i. Model calmness that you want the person to mirror j. In order to make a connection and calm the situation during the Engage phase, you need to be empathetic to the person's situation or state of mind, as individuals who feel they are understood are more inclined to calm down k. Speak softly, simply, briefly, and move slowly l. If there is more than one officer present, to avoid confusion, have one take the lead in communicating and de-escalating the situation 5. Purpose of Assess - to gather the information you need about the situation and the person's condition so that you can make the needed resolution a. Remember, your threat assessment is continuous b. If the encounter changes and there is an imminent risk of harm, use the objective reasonableness standard to determine the amount of force necessary to gain control of the situation c. Recognize that the person may be overwhelmed by frightening beliefs, sounds, or other things in the environment d. Be patient during the encounter e. Check to see if a crime has been committed f. If the person perpetrated a crime, you job is go gain control of the situation, which may include trying to de-escalate the person first, and then, provided that no one has been injured, investigate the crime second g. Ask about medical history h. Ask about and/or look for signs of drug or alcohol use i. When possible, and outside of the presence of the person in crisis, talk to other people about the person's medical history, current medications, and ongoing medical treatment j. If you are dealing with a suicidal person, gauge the seriousness of the person's intent using the LAST model k. Be tactfully mindful, but visibly present as non-threatening l. A trained officer can conceal his/her combat ready stance while offering an empathetic tone of voice and appearing non-threatening m. If there is more than one law enforcement officer present, have one take the lead i. Only one of you should speak to the subject, as having more than oner person speaking may be confusing and/or agitating to the subject ii. The other officer(s) should provide cover and avoid directly engaging the subject 6. Purpose of Resolve - to bring the encounter to a safe resolution and get the person to obtain the help the person needs a. The resolution usually depends on whether a crime was committed, if the person meets commitment criteria, and the availability of mental health and diversion resources b. Refer to the decision tree, which was developed to help officers guide their exercise of discretion c. Once you decide on a course of action, forecast your intentions to the person by telling the person what you are about to do or what will happen next; it is important to continually communicate your actions throughout the interaction d. Limit the number of instructions you give at one time e. If you must use force, you can expect many special populations people to have a high threshold for pain and greater than normal strength

Necessary Steps in Preparing for Court:

1. Ensure all evidence required for the case is accounted for, safely secured, and can be obtained prior to court 2. Contact the prosecutor to determine if additional assistance or information is needed 3. Review notes and/or reports pertinent to the case

Methods of Establishing the Identity of a Vehicle:

1. Ensure the license plate matches the registration 2. Registration must match the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) 3. VIN (for vehicles 1981 or later) 4. Federal certification label a. Must be easily readable without moving any part of the vehicle except an outer door b. Must be affixed to a hinge pillar, or door-latch post, or door edge that meets the door-latch post

Under Ohio's Constitution, All Victims of Crime are...:

1. Entitled to justice and due process throughout the criminal and juvenile justice systems 2. To ensure that, the Ohio constitution provides such persons with rights that are to be protected in a manner no less vigorous than the rights afforded to the accused 3. The constitutional rights provided to victims include the ... a. Right to be treated with fairness and respect for the victim's safety, dignity, and privacy b.

Basic Procedures for Photographing Crime Scenes:

1. Establish a break between different scenes by using a title card or take a picture that contains identifying info at the beginning of the series (e.g., take picture of address first, take a picture of the car with front license plate first) 2. Document the entire scene using overall photos 3. Photograph all fragile items of evidence (e.g., footwear marks, bloodstain patterns on body) using both the evidence establishing and close-up shots 4. Place photo placards in the scene next to all items of interest and reshoot a second series of overall photos 5. Document all know evidence items with evidence establishing shots and evidence close-up shots 6. Use placards sequentially whenever possible to clearly differentiate the various items of evidence from one another (e.g., do not start with number two, then go to number five, and number 9; start with number one and progress sequentially) 7. If items are discovered later in processing (e.g., during second or third rechecks), ensure that all appropriate photographs are taken 8. This may require taking additional overall photographs even though the original scene is altered

Practical and Legal Considerations when Taking a Person into Emergency Custody:

1. Every reasonable and appropriate effort must be made to take persons into custody in the least conspicuous manner possible 2. You must provide the person with the following information: a. Your name, title, and agency b. That the person is not under arrest, and c. That the person is being taken for examination by mental health professionals at a specified mental health facility which has to be identified by name to the person with mental illness 3. You must provide a written statement (i.e., Application for Emergency Admission) of belief to the hospital containing: a. The circumstances under which the person was taken into custody, and b. The reason for your belief that emergency admission is appropriate

Emergency Decontamination Procedures:

1. First responders should be aware of the decontamination procedure should they be required to undergo the procedure or start the process for another 2. Regardless of the many variables that may be encountered in an incident. The basic principles of any decontamination operation are easy to remember and summarize a. Get it off b. Keep it off c. Contain it (i.e., prevent cross contamination) 3. If immediate medical attention is necessary for saving lives in a chemical exposure, emergency decontamination is possible a. Typically performed by fire personnel b. Victims are washed with copious amounts of water after removing all clothing 4.

Do victims need to be decontaminated immediately or can they wait? b. Is it safe to conduct decontamination? c. Is there a safe place to conduct decontamination? d. What alternative decontamination methods are available? e. Are there adequate resources available to conduct the operation and, if not, can additional resources be obtained in a timely fashion? f. What is the time limit available to conclude decontamination before the victims deteriorate further? 5. Caution must be taken not to touch exposed victims 6. Steps for emergency decontamination a. Wet the victim with water b. Strip the victim down to their underclothing c. Continue to flush with water d. Cover them with blankets and clothing 7. For nuclear and biological exposure a. Wetting down exposed surfaces will help prevent contamination from re-suspending in the air b. For liquid contamination it may be necessary to blot the agent off of exposed skin immediately c. Remove all clothing down to the underclothing d. Flush with copious amounts of water e. Cover them with blankets or clothing 8. Medical personnel and facilities must be notified if victims are exposed 9. First responders whose clothing and equipment have been contaminated but who are not in need of immediate medical attention... a. Must report to an established decontamination area b. Clothing, equipment, and accessory items must be left at the decontamination area until they can be decontaminated or disposed of

Indicators of a Sovereign Citizen Extremist Encounter

1. First, officers should recognize that the mere claim of being a sovereign citizen is not a crime; however, some law enforcement encounters with sovereign citizens have proven to be dangerous and even deadly 2. Officers should take extra precaution when coming in contact with a perceived sovereign citizen 3. A common way to encounter a sovereign citizen is a traffic stop. Indicators of potential sovereign citizen encounters during traffic stops are unusual license plates bearing terminology such as... a. UCC Followed by numbers b. Republic of (state) c. Diplomat (no country listed) d. A fictitious country or Native American tribe e. DOT f. Postmaster g. Constitution or constitutionalist h. Exempt 4. Unusual behavior during the stop a.

Unusual conversation and statements a. Claim a driver license is not needed b. Say he/she is a freeman traveling upon the land c. State he/she is not engaged in business and not using the vehicle commercially d. State the officer has no right to speak with him/her e. Order the officer to provide his/her oath of office documentation f. Claim he/she is opening under "God's laws," not "man's laws" g. Claim his/her actions are supported by the Uniform Commercial Code h. Attempt to read the officer his/her "rights" i. State he/she is a diplomat j. Tell the officer to expect to be billed for taking his/her time k. Might ask the officer, "Has a complaint been made against me?" 6. Property rights beliefs commonly held by many sovereign citizens a. They can do what they please with their land b. Their property is an "embassy" c. Their property and vehicles are not subject to search by police and may pot waring notes stating such d. Often refuse to permit public officials and others on to their property (e.g., police, meter readers) i. Threaten to shoot trespassers ii. Post threats specific to law enforcement

Hazards Common at All Clandestine Labs:

1. Flammable atmospheres 2. Strong concentrated acids 3. Ignition sources 4. Toxic and poisonous gases 5. Dangerous individuals

Locating Agencies Must Confirm "Hit" Confirmation:

1. For any records received in response to LEADS and/or NCIC inquiry prior to taking the following actions based upon a. Arresting the wanted person b. Detaining the missing person c. Seizing the stolen property d. Charging the suspect with violating a protection order

The Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG) is to be utilized...:

1. For law enforcement/criminal justice purposes only and is not for personal use or gain

Dynamics of Braking:

1. Front wheel lock up a. Caused by improper brake adjustment or slick spot on the road b. Causes reduced braking ability and loss of steering c. Rear wheels act as a rudder and maintain straight ahead slide 2. All wheels locked up a. Caused by a panic situation in which brakes are applied abruptly and hard enough to lock all four wheels b. The vehicle will probably skid in a straight line as long as variables such as road surface, tire tread, and air are fairly even 3. Rear wheel lock up a. Caused by improperly adjusted brakes which cause rear wheels to lock while the front wheels continue to rotate b. Vehicle will rotate around center mass in the horizontal plane 4. Brake fade a. No feedback from the brake when pressure is applied b. Is most common during a drive when frequent use of the brakes does not allow for proper cooling (i.e., overheated brakes) 5. Weight transfer a. Vehicle accelerates i. The front lifts, causing weight in the rear to increase ii. Weight shift to the rear can cause loss of traction for front-wheel drive vehicles iii. Can increase traction for rear wheel drive vehicles b. Vehicle brakes i. Weight is transferred to front wheels ii. Front brakes have higher braking efficiency c. Change of direction i. Transfers weight from one side of the vehicle to the other ii. More noticeable in vehicles with higher center of gravity d. Environmental factors i. Road surface · Wet or dry · Surface debris · Pavement type and temperature ii. Road design · Flat or uphill · Curve · Crowned or banked iii. Visibility relative to perception time · Weather conditions · Day or night · Blind spots and other traffic iv. Wind 6. Vehicle condition a. Braking system i. Poorly maintained ii. Low brake fluid b. Suspension system and steering components i. Bad shock absorbers ii. Broken or worn tie rods c. Tires i. Improper tire tread ii. Improper tire pressure, alignment, or balance

Factors that Coupled with Mental Illness Produce the Greatest Increase in the Potential for Violence:

1. History of violence 2. Substance abuse and dependence 3. Personality disorders (e.g., antisocial disorder, conduct disorder) 4. Psychotic thoughts (e.g., paranoid delusions, command hallucinations) 5. Young male 6. Under social stress (e.g., poor, homeless) 7. Recent personal stress, crisis, or loss (e.g., unemployment, divorce, separation, victim of crime in the past year) 8. Early exposure to violence (e.g., family fights, physical or sexual abuse, parent with criminal record)

Initiation of the Incident Command System:

1. ICS is mandated by federal law (OSHA rule 1910.120) for scene management a. Most effective tool for scene management b. Due to the many agencies that will respond to an emergency, it is imperative that all responders understand a common command system and structure c. This saves time and allows individual agencies to focus on a common goal d. As soon as practical after the onset of an incident, the first responder must establish an ICS and a command post e. A complete summary of actions taken to the point of the ICS commander taking control must be communicated to the ICS commander so he/she may grasp the situation status f. That official is then in charge of the scene and should brief other first responders on the scene

How to Establish Rapport with a Subject:

1. Identify the purpose of the interview 2. Offer the subject the ability to choose the time of the interview 3. Ask introductory/non-threatening questions

Guidelines an Officer Should Follow When Interacting with the Media:

1. In general... a. Be prepared to think on your feet i. Be familiar with your agencies policies and procedures ii. Respond within those policies and procedures b. Maintain a professional decorum at all times c. Give consistent information to all media outlets; make certain that all media on the scene receive the same message d. Never speak off the record 2. When media arrives at the scene, make certain the crime scene is secured a. Establish a safe staging area for media b. Advise media of the approximate timeframe that information will be made available c. If you are going to refer the media to a supervisor or public information officer (PIO), be aware that camera crews may still be recording and you may indirectly make a statement to the media by your actions and demeanor 3. Preparing to give a statement a. Prepare key messages; decide on one or two major points you wish to make b. Be cognizant of personal appearance c. Be aware of what is in the background 4. Giving a statement a. Avoid distracting mannerisms b. Make eye contact, but don't stare into the camera c. Keep your voice at a normal, conversational level; be aware of how your tone may be perceived d. Think before you speak e.

Explaining the process of what is happening can be helpful, even if it is obvious, but... g. Keep your comments direct, concise, and brief; avoid police jargon h. Be message driven, not question driven i. Don not feel the need to fill "dead air" - stay on point, make your statement or answer the question, then stop talking j. Don't hesitate to correct yourself - accuracy is vital 5. Additional tips for specific circumstances a. Questions you cannot answer b. Never give a personal opinion, speculate, predict, lie or guess c. Do not say "no comment"

Why it is an Officer's Responsibility to Investigate All Aspects of the Runaway's Life:

1. In the past, runaways, especially older teens, were viewed as a social problem best handled by families, teachers, or social service professionals 2. Today, law enforcement is more aware f the fact that all missing children, including runaways, are at risk and need to be located as quickly as possible for these primary reasons 3. Life on the run for these children is extremely dangerous 4. The longer they are on the street, the greater their chances of falling victim to those who wish to exploit them, including the potential of becoming victims of human trafficking 5. Too often runaways are running from something at home (e.g., abuse, neglect)

When to Seek Assistance:

1. Individual coping skills are not working 2. Your friends or family notice emotional responses or behavior that differ from your norm 3. When you don't "feel like yourself" (e.g., disorientation, depression) 4. Suicidal or homicidal thoughts or plans

The Role of the First Responder to a Hazardous Materials Incident:

1. Is limited to the awareness level 2. The first responder is to make use of scene assessment and rapid recognition and identification of the incident type and the material involved in order to... 3. Take appropriate protective action for himself or herself and others 4. Establish scene control by isolating the incident and denying entry 5. Notify proper personnel to mitigate the incident 6. If and/or when safe to do so, document and retain the evidentiary value of anything in and around the scene should assessment indicate a crime has been committed

Procedures for When a suspicious Item Is Found

1. It is imperative that personnel involved in a search understand that their role is only to search for and report suspicious objects 2. Under no circumstances should anyone move, jar, or touch a suspicious object or anything attached to it - always suspect the device is armed and ready to fire 3. Communicate clear instructions to anyone in the area of the device and prevent others from approaching 4. Do not use radios or cell phones in the immediate vicinity of a suspected item (e.g., threat of RCIED) 5. Notify other search teams and suspend search 6. Secure area where item is located, but do not guard it (i.e., stay away from the item) 7. Always be aware of secondary devices - they are usually targeted towards first responders 8. Begin evacuation procedures 9. Notify fire, emergency medical services, and bomb squad

Using Electrical Weapons:

1. It is unreasonable to use an electrical weapon on a non-resisting or passively resisting suspect 2. In cases where the court has concluded that an officer's use of force was justifiable because it was in response to active resistance, some outward manifestation, either verbal or physical, on the part of the suspect had suggested deliberate choice to be defiant 3. In the excessive force context, noncompliance alone does not indicate active resistance; there must be something more 4. When an officer employs an electrical weapon on a suspect who is actively resisting, such action does not constitute unreasonable force

Reasons Vehicles are Stolen:

1. Joyriding/transportation 2. To commit other crimes 3. Theft for profit/commercial theft 4. Owner gives up

Elements of the Offense of Domestic Violence per R.C. 2919.25:

1. Knowingly cause or attempt to cause physical harm to a family or household member 2. Recklessly cause serious physical harm to a family or household member 3. By threat of force, knowingly cause a family or household member to believe that the offender will cause imminent physical harm to the family or household member

Describe Chain of Custody:

1. Labeling evidence a. Tags should be directly attached to the evidence packaging at the time of collection b. Tags should never be removed 2. Factors to show integrity of evidence in the chain of custody a. Evidence collected at a crime scene is the same as presented in court b. The item must not be altered or changed c. Chain must be maintained to document reasons why any party has dealt with the evidence 3. Information a chain of custody must reflect... a. Who found or had contact with the evidence b. To whom the evidence was given c. Reason the evidence was given to that person d. When and by whom the evidence was returned e. Where and how the evidence was stored until taken to court f. Any changes that were made to the evidence 4. Paperwork for chain of custody must remain with the evidence 5. Information that must be shown on an evidence tag... a. Date recovered b. Time recovered c. Exact location of recovery d. Report/case number e. Item number f. Thorough description of the item g. Recovering officer's initials/badge number h. Marked to show biohazard and/or sharp object i. Victim's name if known j. Type of crime

Recognizing the Presence of Hazardous Materials at an Emergency:

1. Limited to the awareness level 2. Recognition - the first responder must be able to recognize a hazardous materials incident and initiate an appropriate and safe response. This holds true whether the incident is an actual release, potential release, or threat 3. Survey the scene from an upwind/upstream position looking for... a. Direct visible evidence i. Spreading vapor cloud or smoke ii. Unusual colored smoke iii. Flames iv. Dying or discolored vegetation v. Container deterioration vi. Container bulging vii. Sick or dying humans and/or animals viii. Discoloration of piping or valves ix. PPE failures b. Physical indicators i. Rainbow sheen on water surfaces ii. Wavy vapors over a volatile liquid iii. Frost or ice buildups near leak iv. Containers deformed by the force of an accident v. Activated pressure relief devices vi. Pinging or popping sounds from heat or cold exposed containers c. Chemical reactions i. Heat ii. Unusual or unexpected temperature drop iii. Extraordinary fire conditions iv. Peeling or discoloration of a container's finish v. Spattering or boiling of unheated materials vi. Distinctively colored vapor clouds vii. Smoking or self-igniting materials viii. Unexpected deterioration of equipment ix. Peculiar smells x. Unexplained changes in ordinary materials xi. Symptoms of chemical exposure d. Evidence of explosive devices i. Structural collapse ii. Blast pattern marks/craters iii. Fragmentation damage iv. Bomb components/fragments v. Witness accounts vi. Booby traps vii. Surrounding populations viii. Dispersion pathways ix. Suspicious persons around the scene 4. Maintaining situational awareness a. In a hazardous materials event, situational awareness is more than just a size-up of the incident- it is a continuous process i. Initial assessment ii. Interpreting signs iii. Assessing what is happening over the life of the incident iv. Predicting outcomes based on a plan of action b. Barriers to maintain vigilance i. Competing priorities ii. Distractions iii. Information overload c. The assessment i. Must be accomplished from a safe distance ii. From an uphill and upwind position iii. If it cannot be accomplished, just coordinate the response and wait for trained personnel 5. Be vigilant for potential ignition sources in areas adjacent to the incident a. Vehicles (parked and moving) b. Open flames (e.g., flares, pilot lights) c. Lightning or static discharges d. Electrical sources (e.g., downed power lines)

Basic Concepts of Perimeter Crowd Control:

1. Linear Strategy - Deploys police forces as a blocking force along a roadway or geographical barrier perpendicular to access routes into the impacted area 2. Cordoning - Surrounding a problem area by using linear strategy to seal off access on all sides 3. Sectoring - Dividing the cordoned off area into smaller size units in which control can be re-established sector by sector once enough police resources are assembled to regain control

LEAPS and its Five Basic Communication Tools that Assist in Generating Compliance:

1. Listen - Actively listen and look interested 2. Empathize - Try to understand where the person is coming from 3. Ask - Ask general, open-ended questions and opinion seeking questions to gain understanding 4. Paraphrase - In your own words, repeat the person's message 5. Summarize - Condense all that has been said and indicate the outcome, keeping it brief, concise, and inarguable

Three Broad Categories of Exigent Circumstances

1. Lives or property are in imminent danger or a serious crime is in progress 2. Evidence will be destroyed or moved if officers postpone taking action until a search warrant can be obtained 3. Officers are in Hot Pursuit of a felon who flees and takes refuge inside

Information the Officer Should Relay to the Communication Center Prior to Activating the Overhead Lights and/or Siren:

1. Location (e.g., street/mile marker, cross reference) a. In terms of officer safety, this is the most vital piece of information the officer can relay, which is why it is called in first b. The backup officers will know where to proceed to render aid 2. Vehicle Registration (i.e., state, type, number) a. An example would be Ohio Passenger ABC 123 b. Learn the phonetic alphabet by practicing when not engaged in a contact c. Officers will be nervous when making the stop and knowing the phonetic alphabet is one less thing to complicate concentration 3. Vehicle Characteristics (i.e., make, model, color, body style) a. An example would be Honda Civic, black, 2 door b. Any other distinguishing factors that would allow backup officers to immediately spot the vehicle, e.g., i. Damage to the vehicle ii. Hard or soft top iii. Window tint iv. Bumper or window stickers 4. Occupants - call in... a. The number of occupants b. Their perceived gender and race c. Any other distinguishing characteristics 5. Nature of the offense (contingent on threat assessment) a. Understand that the relative severity of the offense does not always correlate to the threat level encountered b. An officer may wish to advise the communication center of the nature of the violation if the officer senses a heightened level of threat c. All officers should monitor communications and stay attuned to the nature of the contact a fellow officer is initiating d. This will enable all to start toward an area before being dispatched - the time saved by this will equate to precious seconds and also foster a culture of personal concern

Loss Model:

1. Loss of Reality 2. Loss of Hope 3. Loss of Control 4. Loss of Perspective

Individual Approaches to Stress Management:

1. Manage responsibility 2. Practice self-awareness 3. Have a balanced lifestyle 4. Apply stress reduction techniques 5. Take time for life 6. Humor

Reasons for Tracing Stolen Property:

1. May reveal perpetrator 2. May reveal other investigative leads 3. May reveal other crimes 4. Recovery for victim

Mob-Hostile/Aggressive Crowd:

1. Mob behavior is exhibited by... a. Persons under stimulus of intense excitement and agitation... b. Who lose their sense of reason, law and order, and respect for others 2. Ohio law describes a mob as a collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to anyone, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law 3. These groups are most likely to violate the law 4. Types of mobs a. Escape mob i. Highly emotionally charged crowd that is driven by fear ii. This fear creates unreasonable and frantic behavior that drives the crowd to seek individual safety iii. Difficult to control, so it is best to try to control their movement by routing them to areas where the potential for injury is lessened iv. Trying to block them in areas may increase the possibility of injury to the mob and the officers trying to contain them b. Aggressive mob i. Will attack, riot, and terrorize others ii. Goal is the destruction of property and physical attacks on others iii. These acts seem to feed off of each other and increase in severity until the mob is stopped c. Acquisitive (i.e., looting) mob i. Has the desire to acquire something for free; loot for things such as food or merchandise ii. May also try to take the officer hostage d. Expressive mob i. Is expressing intense feelings or revelry ii. Usually follows some special event (e.g., rival football game) iii. Can be very destructive

Tactics and Behaviors to Avoid While Engaging in De-escalation:

1. Moving suddenly, giving rapid orders, or shouting 2. Forcing a discussion 3. Maintaining direct and continuous eye contact 4. Touching the person without letting the person know you intend to do so, unless essential to safety 5. Crowding the person or moving into his/her comfort zone 6.

1. Must obtain a search warrant unless there is a medical emergency justifying the search 2. Must be conducted under sanitary conditions in a location that permits only the person being searched and the person(s) conducting the search to observe 3. Must be performed by a medical professional (i.e., physician, registered nurse, licensed practical nurse) of the same sex

Steps to Insert a Nasopharyngeal Airway:

1. NPA's are designed to be inserted in the casualty's right nostril, but will still be effective if inserted on the left 2. Us the head tilt/chin lift maneuver to open the casualty's airway 3. Apply water-based lubricant to NPA, if applicable 4. Push the tip of nose upward 5. Insert the airway, pushing towards the casualty's back, rather than up 6. Gently advance the NPA until the flange rests against the nostril 7. Roll casualty onto his/her side (i.e., recovery position) or into a position of comfort for him/her

Clues to Aid in Hazard Identification:

1. Occupancy/location 2. Containers 3. Markings and colorings 4. Placards/labels a. Placards are usually on bulk containers, diamond shaped, and 10 ¾ inch square b. Labels are similar to placards in appearance and must be securely affixed to packages containing hazardous materials. They are designed for non-bulk packages 5. Shipping papers/Safety Data Sheets (SDS)/Facility pre-plans a. Shipping papers (e.g., orders, bills of lading, and manifests) i. Provides a record of what is being transported ii. Provides first responders with necessary information for emergency response iii. Are required for every mode of transportation iv. Should only be checked when you know that a close approach of the incident is safe b. Basic description will follow a sequence best remembered by the acronym ISHP i. I = Identification number - identified in the Hazardous Materials Table ii. S = Shipping name (proper) - Identified in the Hazardous Materials Table iii. H = Hazard Class or division iv. P = Packing group, identified in Roman Numerals, when required 6. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) stand-alone from shipping papers and provide specific information on individual product hazards, safety precautions, and the manufacturer's contact information 7. Senses/employees/witnesses a. A first responder's scenes can assist in detecting the presence of hazardous materials i. Smell 1. Odors such as rotten fruits, eggs, and freshly cut grass are characteristics of certain hazardous materials 2. Clandestine drug labs produce distinct odors dependent on the chemicals used in manufacturing the illegal substance 3. Some of these can rapidly desensitize one's sense of smell ii. Sight 1. Color of smoke and flame iii. Feel 1. Irritation of the eyes or skin iv. Hearing 1. Hearing can be the most important senses as sounds of hissing, fizzing, and whistling are all indicators of an escaping gas or a reaction 2. A high-pitched sound could indicate an immediate Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE) 3. These same sensory experiences had by employees and witnesses should be uncovered through initial questioning on the scene and can be valuable information to help prevent additional exposure

Three Types of Bomb Search Teams

1. Occupant team - most common a. Best method for a rapid search b. An immediate source of assistance for searching the facility c. Personnel are familiar with the area to be searched and know what does or doesn't belong d. Occupants cannot be compelled to search and must be warned of the dangers e. Are not usually trained in search procedures and are not as thorough as a trained team 2. Supervisory team a. Is a fast approach and least disruptive to area b. Is best type with a covert search c. Supervisors may not be as familiar with the area so the searchers may not know what does or doesn't belong d. It is easier to train a small number of supervisor than the whole staff 3. Trained team a. Made up of personnel trained in bomb search techniques b. The best trained team is made up of personnel from the target facility i. A proactive training program should be conducted with personnel from vulnerable targets (e.g., schools, court) ii. Even when personnel from the facility are not trained, someone from the target facility should accompany searchers to provide advice iii. Usually the most thorough team iv. May be augmented with police or fire personnel

An Officer May Arrest, Rather Than Issue a Citation, for a Minor Misdemeanor If One of the Following Applies:

1. Offender requires medical care or is unable to provide for his/her own safety 2. Offender will not or cannot offer satisfactory proof of his/her identity 3. Offender refuses to sign the citation 4. Offender has previously been issued a citation for the commission of that particular misdemeanor and failed to satisfy obligations to appear

Balancing the First Amendment Rights and the Need to Protect Public Safety and SPO Property:

1. The First Amendment does not protect against unlawful, violent, or destructive behavior 2. Law enforcement's responsibility is to objectively discern when a lawful protest becomes unlawful 3. The goal is to protect lawful activity while identifying and isolating unlawful behavior 4. Peace officers must not be influenced by the content of the opinions, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities, religion, or political affiliation of anyone exercising their constitutional right

Preliminary Sexual Assault Victim Interview Considerations and Techniques:

1. Offer the victim the option of having a victim advocate or other support person present during the preliminary and follow-up interviews 2. Victims who work with a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) and advocate are more likely to remain engaged throughout the criminal justice process 3. A spouse, or boyfriend or girlfriend, or parent may not be the most appropriate support person to have present during an interview because the victim may hesitate to reveal all details of the assault in front of someone with whom they are close 4. Victims may, however, be uncomfortable asking friends or family members to leave the interview 5. You should privately address this with the victim and take action to support the victim's wishes 6. When available, male/female response teams are helpful for sexual assault cases 7. Allow the victims to give their account in a narrative form without undue interruption 8. Ask the victim what he/she was thinking and/or feeling during the encounter and during the interview a. This information and documentation of the victim's fear, confusion, and feelings may be helpful if the victim later remembers more information or changes the order of events 9. Ask about strangulation a. Victims may experience delayed symptoms (i.e., days later) resulting in difficulty breathing and possibly death b. Signs and symptoms of strangulation should be documented 10. If strangulation is indicated or suspected, officers should refer the victim to seek medical attention 11. Incomplete, inconsistent, or untrue statements by the victim a. A victim often may disclose partial details because the victim is still dealing with the effects of being traumatized or ... b. The person is uncomfortable in the LE interview i. The victim may not want to disclose acts that may be illegal ii. A victim may be reluctant to describe how the suspect degraded him/her, either with cruel comments or humiliating acts 12. Be familiar with traumatic memory 13. With traumatic memory, it should be understood that the first report may not be accurate a. Some memory recover occurs after the first sleep cycle b. It's best, though, to provide up to three days before interviewing again i. At 24 hours, the memory will be the most accurate, but may not be the most complete ii. From there, additional memory may be recovered, but may also be contaminated 14. When interviewing victims of sexual assault ... a. Be prepared for ... i. A narrative that is fragmented and non-linear ii. Gaps in memory iii. Recall of certain facts and not others, even though they happened simultaneously b. Be cautious of ... i. Misinterpreting signs of trauma as indicators of deception

Evidence at the Scene of a Crash that should be Documented with Photograph's:

1. Officers should photograph everything that was damaged and all physical evidence 2. The entire sequence of events for OH-1 3. The approach to the crash scene a. Photograph the approach and the departure directions of all operators i. Photograph the view from the driver's perception point ii. View from the driver's reaction point iii. View from the driver's point of no escape b. Do the same for pedestrians 4. Surface marks on the roadway a. Photograph debris and marks left upon the roadway and other surfaces b. Photograph debris and roadway marks in the direction of movement the vehicle or object that made them was traveling 5. The area of impact (i.e., the area between the vehicles involved) 6. Final rest a. Show where the vehicles came to rest and in what position b. If victims or pedestrians are thrown clear of vehicles, photograph their final rest positions in the same way as a vehicle's final rest 7. Evidence from the scene a. Tire marks should be documented from the beginning of the mark to the end of the mark b. Photograph areas of the tire mark that explain a vehicle's movement (e.g., offset tire marks, the separation of front and rear tire marks) c. Photograph any traffic control devices d. Document the position of missing or damaged traffic signs e. Vehicle damage should be photographed at the scene as additional damage may occur when the vehicles are moved or removed from the scene of the traffic crash 8. To corroborate eyewitness statements, take photographs of the scene from his/her position and eye level

Questioning of a Suspect Who Has Previously Invoked Miranda Rights:

1. Once a suspect has been arraigned and has claimed counsel at the arraignment or preliminary hearing, the suspect may waive counsel's presence and provide officers with a statement pursuant to a valid waiver of Miranda 2. Police can further question a suspect who has previously been advised of his/her rights if a. The officer again advises the suspect of the Miranda rights and the suspect waives the rights AND b. The suspect expressly initiates the contact with officer 3. If there is a break in custody for interrogation purposes, police may initiate further questioning of a suspect 14 days after release from custody

R.C. 2923.1211

1. Open Carry - Ohio's concealed carry laws do not regulate "open" carry of firearms; the open carry of firearms is legal in Ohio 2. Falsification of Concealed Handgun License - Possessing a Revoked or Suspended Concealed Handgun License

Crime Scene Photography Perspective/Viewpoints:

1. Overall establishing shots a. Depicts the general condition and layout of the scene b. Capture how the scene is oriented, where major visible landmarks (e.g., doors, furniture, bodies) are, and the condition of the scene prior to significant alteration c. Overall pictures are taken in two distinct fashions during crime scene processing i. The first occurs prior to the introduction of any scales or photo placards ii. Later, as you identify specific areas of evidence and placards are introduced, take another set of overall shots d. Corners and side approach i. Stand in each corner and take overlapping photographs ii. Stand at the sides and take perpendicular photos iii. Pictures should overlap approximately 30% iv. In addition to a set of photos from eye level, other angles may be needed to thoroughly document the scene 2. Midrange or evidence establishing shots a. Often times, the evidence consists of small items that will not appear as recognizable objects in the overall photos b. Provided with the overall and close up photos, the viewer has no means in determining where in the scene the item was located c. Frame the item in conjunction with some obvious landmark that is evident in the overall shots d. Unlike the name suggests, the pictures are not necessarily taken from a distance in the in the middle of the overall and close up shots; it is important to remember their purpose is to establish where the evidence is located in relationship to objects in overall shots 3. Close-up shots a. To achieve good quality close up shots, you mist fill the frame with the object b. Close up shots should be created with and without the evidence placards and scales present, if needed c. Extreme close ups, or macro shots, you mist fill the frame with the object

Resources to Use in Establishing the Value of Stolen Property:

1. Owner/victim 2. Retailers (e.g., department store, car dealer) 3. Bank loan departments 4. Ohio Revised Code (i.e., R.C. 2913.61) 5. Internet resources (e.g., Kelly Blue Book, eBay)

Steps for Junctional Hemorrhage Control:

1. Pack wound with gauze or hemostatic gauze 2. Hold direct pressure for a minimum of three minutes, if possible 3. Apply trauma dressing

Assessing a Dog's Behavior:

1. Signs of a relaxed dog a. Body posture - relaxed, weight carried evenly, may observe a play bow or body wiggle b. Tail - relaxed and in neutral position, may be wagging c. Ears - relaxed and in neutral position d. Mouth - appears "soft", may be open, tongue hanging out, mouth may be closed with lips relaxed over teeth e. Eyes - "soft", relaxed, eyebrows neutral, normal pupil size, steady, relaxed gaze 2. Signs of a defensively threatening dog a. Body posture - muscles tense, weight shifted back, low to ground, may roll to expose to belly, holding one paw up b. Tail - stiff, usually tucked or low to the ground, may be wagging (slowly or rapidly) c. Piloerection (i.e., goosebumps) - may or may not be present, may be seen as a "blowing coat" d. Ears - pulling back against head e. Mouth - lips pulled back, may be growling or snarling, often see excessive panting, lip licking, chewing, yawning f. Eyes - vigilant with pupils dilated, eyebrows furrowed, scanning/darting eyes, "whale eye" 3. Signs of an offensively threatening dog a. Body posture - "hard and stiff", muscles tensed, weight forward, may be very still b. Tail - carried high, often wagging slowly and methodically c. Piloerection - usually present d. Mouth - top lip pulled up, baring front teeth only, growling, snapping, borking e. Eyes - hard stare, wide open or squinted/hooded, eyebrows tensed, pupils dilated f. Be aware that offensively threatening doggos could exhibit all of these behaviors and still be quiet and still; be aware that quiet dogs can still attack

Similarities and Differences between Traditional and Non-traditional Media:

1. Similarities a. Both afforded the same First Amendment protections b. Both entitled to the same physical access to the scene of an incident as each other and any private citizen c. Both want access to information, un a user-friendly form, with audio and visuals, and they want it in a timely fashion d. Both are entitled to the same access to information as each other and any private citizen 2. Differences a. Non-traditional media's primary objective is often sensationalism, whereas one of traditional media's primary objectives is accuracy b. Non-traditional media is often advocacy focused, whereas traditional media is objective focused c. Non-traditional media is not held to a professional standard, whereas traditional media is held to the professional standards of journalism d. Non-traditional media is less interested in relationship building with law enforcement because non-traditional media reporting is event driven, whereas traditional media, which regularly interacts with law enforcement on a variety of news events, is interested in developing good rapport with law enforcement

Major Items for Which the Officer Must Be Alert for During a Medical/Mental Health Screening:

1. Suicide thoughts or plans 2. Current serious or potentially serious medical or mental health issues needing immediate attention 3. The use of an electronic weapon, pepper spray or other less lethal use of force during the arrest 4. Assaultive behavior 5. Body deformities and ease of movement 6. Condition of skin

Ways to Counter Common Defense Attorney Tactics:

1. Tactic - asking if the officer has spoken with other parties involved with the case (e.g., other attorneys, investigators, witnesses) a. Used to make officers think that if they have done so, they have done something wrong 2. Counter tactic - answer truthfully a. Officers are permitted to talk to these people b. Officer, however, can't tell them what to say 3. Tactic - rapid fire questioning a. Used to confuse the officer and force inconsistent answers 4. Counter tactic - slow the pace by pausing before answering a. Remain calm b. This will prohibit the attorney from building momentum c. Ask to have the question repeated if unsure how or what to answer 5. Tactic - repeated questioning a. Used in an attempt to obtain conflicting responses 6. Counter tactics a. Tell the truth b. Know the facts of the case and the material upon which you will be testifying 7. Tactic - verbal badgering and staring a. Used to anger the officer so the officer loses composure 8. Counter tactics a. Remain calm b. Look at the person who is asking the question, then answer the question to the jury or judge 9. Tactic - asking two questions at the same time a. Used in an attempt to confuse the officer 10. Counter tactics a. Remain calm b. Ask the attorney which question should be answered first 11. Tactic - friendly counsel a. Used in an attempt to place the officer in a false level of comfort 12. Counter tactics a. Stay alert and listen b. Be aware the purpose of the friendly demeanor may be to lull the officer into a false sense of security so the officer becomes sloppy with the testimony 13. Tactic - misquoting the officer's testimony a. Used to confuse the officer or get different information before the jury 14. Counter tactics a. Listen carefully to the questions asked by the attorney b. If the attorney paraphrases the officer's testimony differently than how it was presented, correct the error (i.e., don't be afraid to tell the defense attorney that he/she is wrong) c. If the attorney uses the officer's testimony in a follow up question incorrectly, make the correction 15. Counter tactics a. However, be careful not to repeatedly ask to clarify answers (unless correcting the defense). Answering simply and honestly should prevent from having to do so 16. Tactic - the "CSI effect" a. Used in an attempt to show that the officer did not use the most scientifically advanced techniques in the investigation 17. Counter tactics a. Remain calm b. Answer only the question that has been presented to you and do not editorialize about the science involved in police work. If anything needs clarification or further explanation, the prosecution can address it through additional questioning

Identifying When Protection Orders are Applicable:

1. Temporary Protection Orders (TPO) a. A TPO is an order from the court that is available after a family or household member is charged with a violent or sexually oriented offense b. It removes the suspect from the shared residence and has other restrictions c. In effect for the length of the case d. It can be received by the victim at any time starting with arraignment, but it is over when the case is over e. A TPO can be requested by i. The complainant ii. The alleged victim iii. A family or household member of the alleged victim or iv. A peace officer may file the motion on behalf of the victim if the victim is so badly injured from the incident that he/she is hospitalized or unable to attend court v. The court on its own motion f. Officer documentation is key g. The person who requested the order shall appear before the court to provide the information concerning the basis of the motion (e.g., if the victim is the one who has filed to obtain a TPO, the victim must come to court for the TPO hearing) 2. Criminal Protection Order (CRPO) a. Issued by the court after a non-family/non-household member is charged with a violent, menacing, or sexually oriented criminal offense b. CRPO is like a TPO for non-family or non-household members 3. Civil Protection Order (CPO) a. Another option for a victim is the CPO, which is obtained through the domestic relations or common pleas court even though criminal charges have not been filed b. Broader in the scope than a TPO because It can be in effect up to five years and it can include other provisions (e.g., child support, custody) c. A person may initially file for a TPO and then petition for a CPO. If this is the case, know that once the CPO is issued, the TPO becomes invalid d. For a peace officer, this is important because if both orders are on file, the officer will need to charge with a violation of the CPO e. There are two levels to the CPO (i.e., Ex parte and Final) and the specific terms of either order are enforceable once the suspect is aware of that order. If the officer enforces the order by arresting the suspect for violation of the order, the prosecutor will need to show that the CPO had been formally "served" upon the suspect before the violation f. It is essential that the peace officer documents information showing why he/she believed that the protection order was valid and that the offender knew of the existence of the order g. All law enforcement agencies must maintain an index of protection orders within their jurisdiction h. If the officer is unable to independently verify, the protection order is still enforceable if it is valid on its face, and the officer may be immune from liability resulting in enforcing it 4. Stalking Protection Orders - Stalking or Sexually Oriented Offense Protection Order (SSOOPO) a. Protects the victim of stalking and sexually oriented offenses from a non-family or non-household member b. Issued through the common pleas court c. Available for victims whether or not criminal charges are filed d. It has the same two levels (i.e., Ex parte and Final) as the CPO

Practical and Sensitive Responses to the Four Core Needs of Crime Victims:

1. The need to be and feel safe (i.e., safety) a. Reassure and continue to reassure victims that they are safe in LE presence b. Be attentive to your own words, tone of voice, posture, mannerisms, and actions, and how those may impact the victim's sense of safety and security c. The to express and process their emotions (i.e., healing) i. Do 1. Exercise patience ii. Don't 1. Assume that a victim, who is not yet ready to express his/her needs because of trauma is being uncooperative 2. Try to frame the victim's experience by referencing similar experiencing 3. "Second guess" the victim's response to the crime 4. Become "overly-helpful" by making decisions and choices for the victim d. The need to know what comes next and to receive fair treatment (i.e., justice) i. Have information and referral system with names, addresses, telephone numbers, emails, and websites for appropriate referrals ii. Give the victim a copy of the Ohio Attorney General's Office produce pamphlet, Ohio Crime Victim's Rights: Helping Crime Victims Rebuild Their Lives e. The need to pay for unexpected financial losses or bills (i.e., restitution) i. Do ask about and document any financial burdens the crime may have imposed on the victim (e.g., costs associated with medical care, childcare, transportation to doctors and hospitals, lost work time, home repairs) ii. Do talk with victims about who they can turn to for emergency help iii. Do tell the victims of violent crimes about the Ohio Victim Compensation Program and provide the toll free number (1-800-582-CVSS/1-800-582-2877)

Objective Evidence that the Crime was Motivated by Hate or Bias:

1. The offender and victim were of a different race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, and/or gender identity 2. Bias-related oral comments, written statements or gestures were made by the offender indicating his/her bias 3. The presence of visible symbols of hatred and/or bias 4. The victim is a member of a spiritual group that is overwhelmingly outnumbered by other residents in the neighborhood where the victim lives, and the incident took place 5. The victim was visiting a neighborhood where previous hate crimes had been committed and where tensions remained high against the victim's group 6. Several incidents occurred in the same locality, at or about the same time, and involved victims of similar demographics (e.g., race, gender identity) 7. A substantial portion of the community where the crime occurred perceived that the incident was motivated by race 8. The victim was engaged in activities related to his or her race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity at the time of the offense; Or, if not a member of that group, was a member of an advocacy group supporting the target group 9. The incident coincided with a holiday or date of significance relating to a group (e.g., MLK day, Rosh Hashanah, Ramadan) 10. The offender was previously involved in a hate crime or is a hate group member 11. A hate group claimed responsibility for the crime or is active in the neighborhood

Sequence of Events:

1. The various events that make up a traffic crash; officers should ensure his/her investigation and report covers all of these events: a. Indicate the series of events in sequence for each vehicle/unit b. To describe the sequence of events, begin with the first crash event that applies to each traffic unit c. If the crash event began with a non-collision (e.g., motor vehicle leaves the roadway to the right), list the first event from the non-collision events category d. If the crash event began with a collision with a person, vehicle, or object not fixed (e.g., motor vehicle colliding with a motor vehicle in transport), list the first event from the collision with person, vehicle, or object not fixed e. A collision with a fixed object will occur after the first event f. Enter as many as six events for each traffic unit g. If the number of events exceeds six, include the first harmful event and the most harmful event, then list the next four most relevant events, giving preference to other harmful events h. Document what the traffic unit did or what it hit, not what the unit is (e.g., in a one vehicle collision where the vehicle hit a telephone pole, we can assume that the motor vehicle was in transport; if the vehicle did not hit another motor vehicle in transport, do not indicate "motor vehicle in transport" in the sequence of events section) i. Ask yourself the following questions to assist in filling out this section: i. What did this unit do? ii. What did this unit hit? j. The "07" or "separation of units" option should only be used when the vehicles involved were towing something (e.g., when the vehicle being towed is separated from the vehicle doing the towing) k. First harmful and most harmful should each be one of the six sequence of event options that you already chose

Reasons a Victim May Delay or Fail to Report a Rape or Sexual Assault:

1. The victim is still suffering from the trauma of the event 2. The victim knew the perpetrator or had so acquaintance-type relationship with the perpetrator 3. The victim is intimidated by the perpetrator's position, power, or social status 4. The victim may self-blame and think he or she was responsible for creating the risk 5. Drugs or alcohol may have impaired the victim's judgement and memory 6. The victim may feel responsible for not doing more (e.g., fighting, screaming) to prevent what happened, especially if the victim has no visible injury 7. Encounters with the criminal justice system - e.g., the victim may have an arrest record or an outstanding warrant 8. The victim may have been victimized previously and the victim ... a. Did not feel supported or believed when reporting the previous incident b. Fears that having been victimized multiple times lowers the likelihood of being believed and receiving support 9. The victim may feel embarrassed and ashamed, which may make it difficult to tell others what happened

Mechanisms of Harm Presented to First Responders:

1. Thermal (fire and/or explosion) a. Heat from a fire or released by a chemical reaction b. Extreme cold, such as liquefied gas or cryogenic liquids 2. Radiological a. Alpha radiation - will not penetrate the skin but, if breathed in, will cause long-term respiratory damage b. Beta radiation - will penetrate the skin but not deep tissue. If breathed in, it will cause severe internal damage c. Gamma radiation - this is pure radiation energy and will penetrate through the entire body causing whole body tissue damage d. Risk is dependent on several factors i. Total amount (i.e., dose) of radiation received ii. The dose rate (i.e., how fast it was received) iii. The specific type of radiation 3. Asphyxiation a. Oxygen deficiency - oxygen deficient atmosphere which can be caused by displacement or consumption f available oxygen b. Chemical reaction - toxic substances can cause physical pathological changes within the body preventing the body from properly using oxygen c. The release of certain products (e.g., nitrogen) can deplete the oxygen level below survival limits 4. Chemical exposure a. Toxic or poisonous effects b. Destructive human tissue effects 5. Etiological (biological hazards) a. Bacterial infections b. Viral infections 6. Mechanical (physical hazards) a. Debris b. Shrapnel

Common Methods Used to Initiate an IED:

1. Time fired a. IED initiated after pre-set time delay b. Can be mechanical, analog, digital, or electronic timing mechanisms (e.g., clock, watches, integrated circuits, timers, burning fuse) 2. Victim operated a. IED initiated by actions of unsuspecting individuals b. Can be caused by things such as disturbance, pressure, pressure release, tension/pull, tension release/push, light, sound, magnetic, and infrared devices 3. Command initiated a. Bomber to choose optimum moment to initiate IED b. Can be initiated by cell phones, radios, doorbells, keyless entry system, pagers, any combination of transmitter/receiver, mechanical (pull/release), car alarms, command wire

Paraphernalia Associated with Heroin Use:

1. Tiny knotted balloons the size of a pencil eraser, syringes, spoons, cotton swabs, cigarette filters, pieces of foil bottoms of soda cans, gel capsules, folded paper bindles (e.g., lottery ticket cards), small squares cut from grocery bags, small containers of water, containers made to carry some or all of the paraphernalia

Two General Types of Building Searches:

1. Unknown risk (e.g., open doors, alarm drops, suspicious activity) a. Officer is unsure if the area or structure is occupied b. Whether an officer thinks a suspect is in the building or not, the search should always be conducted as if a suspect was in the structure c. Do not become complacent d. Searching a building is a practical skill i. Use every opportunity to practice this skill ii. Work with your partner to develop cohesion 2. High risk (e.g., active shooter, hot pursuit situation) a. High risk searches involve prior knowledge or circumstances indicating a likelihood of serious physical harm b. Risk of the offender escaping c. This may require the officer to respond immediately to avoid injury or death to an innocent civilian

Traffic Direction and Control Actions:

1. Use the information received from communications as well as your knowledge of the immediate area and beyond 2. Confirm your geographical location with dispatch 3. Perform a preliminary analysis of current situation 4. Identify actions required to mitigate the situation 5. Identify resources required to support those actions 6. Identify any unique safety situations as you arrive

When Using Chemical Weapons May Be Considered Unreasonable Force:

1. Using chemical weapons on an arrestee who has already been subdued and who poses no threat is excessive force (i.e., it is not reasonable to use a chemical weapon on someone after they have quit resisting) 2. Whenever you use a chemical weapon on someone who is already handcuffed, especially in a cruiser, the court is going to take a very hard look at the use of that chemical weapon 3. There are circumstances when using a chemical weapon on someone handcuffed or secured in a vehicle might ne reasonable and justifiable, but you will have to articulate that the person's conduct posed a danger to himself/herself, you, or the public, given the fact the person was in restraints

Recognizing the Need for Additional Resources:

1. When first responders realize the incident they have responded to involves hazardous materials, they must communicate all information gathered during the approach and the initial scene survey to dispatch or the command post (if it has been established) on a dedicated radio frequency a. Provide responding agencies with timely and accurate information i. Other agencies can be tapped for additional resources 2. Potential responding agencies a. Fire b. Various law enforcement agencies c. Emergency Medical Services d. Hazardous material response teams e. FBI (if WMD related incidents) f. EPA g. Public health agencies h. Public Utilities Commission i. Environmental clean-up companies 3. Other necessary information (if applicable and available includes: a. The chemical name b. Associated placard or U.N. number c. Weather conditions and wind direction d. Status of hazardous material container(s) (e.g., stable, leaking, burning) e. The location impacted f. Victim's injuries

Ways to Reduce Injury or Property Damage when a Collision is Imminent:

1.) Avoid having the collision take place in the driver's quarter of the vehicle 2.) Try to strike the object on an angle, thus deflecting some of the impact forces 3.) Maintain steering and braking control to avoid colliding with additional objects after the first collision 4.) Steer to the rear - steering for the rear of the other vehicle minimizes injury by avoiding the passenger compartment and minimizes crash severity by striking the lightest area of most vehicles 5.) If possible, look through the collision for a clear path of travel

Primary Considerations for Discontinuing a Vehicle Pursuit:

1.) The safety of the public and yourself

The Relationship Between Degrees of Suspicion and the Responses Allowed by the Constitution:

Personal Notes: A. Limited Seizure - Briefly detained for an investigation B. Full Seizure - Arrest C. 3 types of law enforcement interactions with citizens: a. Consensual b. Detain c. Arrest D. Probable Cause b. A reasonably prudent person would believe the person to be arrested and the place of crime or that place to be searched contains evidence of a crime b. Totality of circumstances used to determine if Probable Cause existed or not E. 2 types of probable cause Observable Probable Cause Informational Probable Cause. Terry v Ohio 1963, October 31 (Halloween); Officer McFadden of the Cleveland PD observed a group of 3 men "casing a place" by making 12 separate passes and looking into the window of a store. As the men were approaching the store in what appeared to be an attempted robbery, Officer McFadden stopped them and "frisked" Terry to which he discovered a concealed handgun. At that time, Officer McFadden arrested Mr. Terry for illegally carrying a concealed weapon. During court proceedings, Terry's attorney filed for a motion to suppress the evidence under the exclusionary rule, but the motion was denied. The case went up to the United States Supreme Court where On June 10, 1968, the Supreme Court issued an 8-1 decision against Terry that upheld the constitutionality of the "stop-and-frisk" procedure as long as the police officer performing it has a "reasonable suspicion" that the targeted person is acting suspiciously and may be "armed and presently dangerous.''
