Collaborative Engagement and Transformation: Analyzing Diversity Conversations within a Chosen Population
Overview
For this activity, you will critically analyze how those within your chosen population engage with your topic. You will identify what is already working well and opportunities for change.

Directions
In this activity, you will consider the elements of your topic you can develop to encourage, promote, and transform conversations about diversity. Include diverse perspectives from varied sources to support your points.

FRCP Assignment: Application of Rules of Procedure in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada
Introduction
There are hundreds of jurisdictions in the United States on the state and federal level. Each jurisdiction can have its own set of laws, including rules of evidence and procedure that govern how an individual’s rights are protected. A defendant may receive greater protections in one state jurisdiction than in another. During our review of the material, in the book, understand that often you’re learning about federal law or common law. However, Florida law mirrors federal law very closely. For example, the Federal Rules of Evidence and Florida Rules of Evidence are nearly identical substantively and are even numbered similarly. Florida simply adds a “90” in front of its rules of evidence. Federal Rule of Evidence 403 is 90.403 in Florida. As we learn more about the different laws that govern criminal procedure feel comfortable that your knowledge will be easily applied to any Florida scenario. Unless specified, please use Florida law when answering your assignments.
Case
Read the case of Hiibel vs. Sixth Judicial Court of Nevada, in Chapter 4, page 134, of your book; Reference the full Hiibel case for the 5th amendmentLinks to an external site.. Is the “Stop and Identify” Law Reasonable?
Directions
Each FRCP assignment is an opportunity for you to explore and learn more about the rules of procedure for Florida. The rules of procedure are extensive, but once you learn to navigate them they will provide answers to most criminal procedure questions a person may encounter. You will apply the rules of procedure that are relevant to the legal scenario in your book. To complete your FRCP Assignment, you must:
Identify two rules of procedure that apply to the legal issues discussed in the case;
Summarize the meaning of two rules, including the relevant subsections;
Explain why you think the rules apply to the legal issues in the case (support your opinion by citing specific references to the language in the case);
Don’t forget to address both the 4th and 5th amendment.
Format
Please use the following format for the FRCP Assignment:
Use APA format and cite sources, as necessary. If you need a refresher on APA, reference the APA Learning Unit. Do your resources meet the CRAAP test? Review CRAAP Test Reference page for more information.
Your answer must be a minimum of three (3) paragraphs of five (5) to seven (7) sentences.

Title: Enhancing Criminal Investigations through the Adoption of Kaseware Law Enforcement RMS
In the Cyber Fraud Tech Briefing Activity, you identified two Record Management Systems (RMSs) that represent viable alternatives to the system described in the briefing. In this assignment, you use your loss control/prevention and technology skills to take a deeper dive into one of your chosen RMSs. Create a presentation for fellow officers and decision-makers that addresses each of the following, as they relate to your chosen technology (from last week’s activity). The goal is to include details that provide significant insight into areas such as its adoption, use, purpose, et cetera. The presentation should do the following:
Justify 4 important criteria for evaluating a criminal investigation technology for possible adoption.
Recommend an RMS suitable for adoption based upon the application of all identified criteria and the information sought in the Cyber Fraud Tech Briefing scenario.
Cite and describe a real-world example that effectively illustrates the use and outcomes of your chosen technology.
Explain 2 significant limitations or downsides of a chosen technology that could impact decision-making regarding its adoption, including supporting quantifiable metrics or data. You might consider areas such as cost, ethical use, training, maintenance, et cetera.
Presentation Submission Requirements
Use PowerPoint to create the equivalent of a 5-7-minute presentation if delivered orally.
PowerPoint: 8-10 slides. All slides should be supported by detailed speaker notes that address the required criteria without the aid of a voice-over or speaker.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Examine technology and data tools for use in the criminal justice system that provides Data-informed decision-making.
Analyze the impact of technology on various aspects of the criminal justice system.
Evaluate ethical issues that criminal justice technologies pose to the law enforcement community and society.
One program I found was Kaseware Law Enforcement. If you find another RMS your welome to use it. I must have the minimum of Crime Mapping, Data Analytics, Database Queries with search parameter such as name, address, phone number, Social Media Data Minning, and Police Records Management System. -
“Ethical Considerations in Law Enforcement: Deception, Informants, and Accepted Lies”
Week 5 Discussion: Law Enforcement
Supporting Lectures:
Ethical Systems
Crime Control
Discretion and Law Enforcement
Discretion and Corruption
The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.
For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.
To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
In this final week, we will apply the concepts reviewed in this course to the law enforcement function. For this week’s discussion, consider the following questions, with the ethical systems in mind.
Is it ethical for detectives to deliberately use deception during an interrogation? The Supreme Court has ruled that deceptions are legal, but are they ethical? If so, identify under which ethical system police would be permitted to use deception as an interrogation technique.
All police agencies make use of informants. Larger departments even pay their informants and keep track of their contributions to cases. Discuss the ethical problems of using informants to assist with investigations.
You have read about a concept known as “accepted lies” in police work. Give an example of an “accepted lie” and show how it is ethically permissible.
