Estimate the amount of time it will take for the new facility to attain accreditation

One way an organization communicates with its constituents is by its accreditation. Your department head knows that you are in a graduate program and has asked you to assist the department head that works with accreditation and licensure in your facility. She has asked you to develop an initial plan to gain accreditation for a new facility that your organization is opening. Choose one accreditation that is appropriate for the facility. Write an introductory paragraph then follow it with the initial plan in table format and should include:

One type of accreditation needed for the facility and in 1-2 sentences, why it is needed for the facility
Estimate the amount of time it will take for the new facility to attain accreditation
What resources are needed
Estimate direct costs for accreditation
Estimate the financial impact on revenue if not earning accreditation
For example:

Type of Accreditation

Time Needed
Resources Required

Direct Costs for Accreditation Financial impact if Accreditation not Earned

Provide a paragraph under the table with conclusions and any potential limitation of this accreditation.

Please provide 3-4 references from scholarly journals and websites provided in the course.

IF you are unsure about what you are to do, for example –critique, look up the term to be sure that you are ‘doing’ what is expected. Failure to complete the full assignment will result in loss of grade points. Organization is the internal structure of a piece of writing, the thread of central meaning that ties the piece together from beginning to ending. Begin with perhaps one to two sentences about the general topic. Followed by one to three sentences that describe in detail the purpose of the paper. A piece of solid academic writing: • begins with an introduction regarding the piece’s primary purpose or theme, which prepares the reader for what is to come, (., thesis statement). Students are asked to paraphrase the stated purpose of the assignment including all components in the introduction • ends with a conclusion that summarizes the key points of the piece, draws conclusions, and generally provides closure for the reader. The conclusion is a mirror image of the introduction; there is never new material added to the conclusion. The body of a piece of academic writing can be organized around a variety of structures. Students are not considered experts; therefore, any statements made that have not been previously developed and supported by references is considered unsubstantiated; fails to meet academic writing standards. SO, use references; not many quotes, but be sure that your definitive statements are supported. Examples of organizing structures: • Main Idea/Thesis with Supporting Details/Evidence; internal consistency within the paper—if in the introduction there is (a), (b), & (c), then in the paper each point is to be presented in order in the body of the paper. • Comparison-Contrast; know the difference (APA uses Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary; this can be accessed online) • Critique versus Analyze; know the difference (APA uses Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary; this can be accessed online) • Deductive Logic • Point-by-Point Analysis • Development of Central Theme • Chronology or History (., of an event, process, era) • Strategies versus Action Plan Solid academic writing uses transitional words and phrases to provide logical connections and sequencing. Graduate students are expected to have a greater word use than undergraduates. Practice using new words that ‘mean’ what you might usually say. However, be careful with use of word strings that have little meaning and diminish clarity; APA calls this ‘wordiness’ Examples of transitional words: • Addition: also, again, as well as, besides • Consequence: accordingly, as a result, consequently, for this reason • Generalizing: as a rule, as usual, generally • Illustration: for example, for instance, for one thing • Emphasis: above all, chiefly, with attention to, especially, particularly • Similarity: comparatively, coupled with, correspondingly • Exception: aside from, barring, besides, except, excluding • Restatement: in essence, in other words, namely • Comparison: in contrast, by the same token, conversely, instead, likewise • Summarizing: after all, all in all, briefly, in any case, in any event, in conclusion, in short, in summary, finally MECHANICS Download: Free version of Grammarly Description Guidelines and Examples Solid academic writing is characterized by the proper use of conventions and mechanics and sentence structure, including: spelling, grammar, paragraphing, capitalization, and punctuation. Examples of Conventions and Mechanics in Academic Writing: • Proper Use of Capitalization, Punctuation, Quotation Marks • Subject/Verb Agreement • Proper Use of Pronouns; if you have a question, check your APA guide; if it’s not there, reword the sentence or use the noun. • Technical Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Units of Measurement • Paragraphs that are indented; consisting of three or more sentences • Use of Title Page, Headers: APA 7th edition is expected • Avoiding the Use of: Contractions, Incomplete and Run-on Sentences WORD CHOICE and USAGE In solid academic writing, the use of language is precise, with correct word usage and appropriate word choice. In good descriptive writing, strong word choice clarifies and expands ideas. In persuasive writing, careful word choice moves the reader to a new vision of possibilities; your writing should have the reader say “wow that was terrible”; the writer doesn’t write ‘that was terrible’. Effective word choice depends less on an exceptional vocabulary and more on the skill to use everyday words well. Use a thesaurus for new words with more specific meaning: For example, “pronounce” for “say”, “embarkation” for “start.” In academic writing, “it” is not acceptable. Make su‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌re the reader knows what the subject of each sentence is; clarity is key to effective APA format and Graduate level writing skill

police report

On March 13th, 2018 I responded to the north end of W Twin River Way in the area it intersects with the Jordan River Parkway Trail on report of a suspicious person/activity. While I was responding to the area VECC Dispatch advised me that the caller was calling from Clinical Innovations which is located at 747 W 4170 S in Murray Utah. The complainant who was identified as Thomas Smith stated that from his office (which is located on the west side of the building) he could see what appears to be a homeless male who looks to be holding a human hand. He also stated that it is a little bit difficult to see because his building is located on the east side of the Jordan River and he is looking across the river to the trail which is located on the west side of the river.

Upon arrival I parked my patrol vehicle on the east end of Twin River Way, activated my “body cam”, and proceeded to walk south along the Jordan River Parkway Trail. I was dressed in a normal patrol uniform and was clearly identified as a police officer. After walking approximately 300 yards I located a male subject (who was later identified as James Parker) sitting near what appeared to be a homemade type tent. I identified myself to the male and asked him if he was living in this area. He stated that he was temporarily, he used to live at the homeless shelter located in Salt Lake at 210 Rio Grande St. Due to the increased presence of law enforcement he had moved out of that area and was awaiting public housing. I then asked him if he had secured public assistance in the form of housing and he stated that he did in fact have an apartment “lined up.” I then asked him why he was still living in the aforementioned tent and he stated that his apartment would not be ready for another week.

While I was talking to James I noticed that he would converse with me in a manner that seemed “normal” but then at random times he would make verbal utterances that I was unable to understand and he would make random sudden movements. I asked James if he had any medical problems and he stated that when he was younger he was diagnosed with severe ADHD and Tourette’s Syndrome but because he has been homeless for the past 10 or 11 years he has not been treated medically. I asked him if he was in any distress at the moment or needed an ambulance, he stated that he did not.

While James and I were talking I observed the belongings that James owned which were in plain sight, I did not see anything of real monetary value and began to become suspicious of his accounts mentioned earlier of having secured housing. I asked James if he had any documentation that showed he had been approved for housing and stated “hang on, I have something under my cooler”, James pointed to his right and I noticed the cooler he was referring to was blue in color and was sitting at the entry to his tent. He moved the cooler to his right to retrieve the requested paperwork from underneath the cooler. When James slid the cooler, the edge of the plastic material that the cooler was made of, stuck or got caught on a small crack that was on the asphalt of the path. When this happened the momentum that he used to push the cooler caused it to catch and tip over to the right. When the cooler tipped over, the hinged lid opened approximately 2 to 3 inches. When the lid opened I noticed what appeared to be a human finger protrude from the opening. I do not believe that James noticed what I observed as he continued to retrieve the requested paperwork.

As he was handing me the documentation I requested a backup unit to respond to my location in light of my observations. My intentions were to “play it off” like I had not observed anything suspicious, review the documents, and wait for a second unit to arrive before I began to question James about my observations. As I was waiting, I looked over what James had provided which showed a Section 8 approval letter and a residential address to The Parkgate Apartments located at 5491 S Jackies Wy. # A-201 Murray, Ut 84107. I also recorded an office number of 801-685-8000. It showed the name of James Parker being approved for housing on the date of March 20th, 2018. Just to further verify I used my department issued cell phone to contact the front office at Parkgate. When I called a female answered the phone who was identified as Jennifer Turner, I asked Jennifer to confirm that James was indeed approved for housing and he would be residing at those apartments, Jennifer confirmed this and we concluded our conversation.

A short time later Officer Durrant arrived as my back up unit (see his attached supplement), when he did, James became, what appeared to me as extremely nervous and became agitated. He asked me why I needed another officer, I responded, in an effort to calm the situation, by saying that it was standard procedure and it was simply a safety measure that is standard operating procedure for my department, his agitated state seemed to calm a little so I began to ask James about my observances prior. I stated to James…”when you were moving your cooler and it tipped over, I noticed that the lid cracked open, I saw what appeared to be a finger fall from the inside of the cooler, do I have your permission to look inside the cooler to determine if it was actually a finger.” James agreed and his consent for a search of the cooler was captured on my “body cam”. I also requested that he sign my department issued “consent to search form” to which he did and that document will be included with this report.

Officer Durrant and James moved to the side of me approximately 10 feet away and they began a conversation as I opened the lid to the cooler. I immediately noticed what appeared to be a human hand that was in early stages of decomposing. From my initial observations, the hand was intact from the wrist area and included all five digits (fingers). It appeared to have a bluish tint to the skin and several areas that seemed to be in various stages of decomposition. I also noticed various other items in the cooler that will be documented at a later time.

I again made contact with James to ask him about the hand. As there was two uniformed officers present I believe James would not feel like he was free to leave and the questions that I was going to be asking may be incriminating so I decided to read James his Miranda Rights (again, see body camera footage.) James waived said rights and agreed to speak with me. I asked James why he had a human hand in a cooler and he replied that he had found it in the bushes near where his camp was set up. I then asked why he would pick up a human hand and he replied that he didn’t really know, he just picked it up. I then asked why he did not report finding the hand by calling 911 or another non-emergency phone number, he replied that he did not have a phone to use. James’s answers seemed to be vague and not really consistent with what the average person would do or how they would act in this situation.

I contacted my supervisor and relayed my findings and requested a crime scene unit to respond to my location for evidence collection. A short time later Crime Scene Detective Smith arrived and collected the evidence (see his supplemental report.) I also requested that Detective Smith gather all the documentation from James as to where he was going to live, photographs of the camping area, surrounding area and photograph James himself for future identification purposes, all of these tasks were accomplished with the permission of James. I released James at this point pending further investigation. I also quickly traveled over to the workplace of the complainant, Thomas Smith and requested a written witness statement which will be included in this report.

From the circumstances relevant to this call, I was unable to determine where the human hand came from or if James had committed any violation of Utah law. I have gathered witness statements and included the locations of all parties who were involved. Please forward this report to the investigations division for follow up.

Officer Durrant supplement March 13th 2018 Case #X18-021577 Suspicious Incident

On 3-13-2018 I responded to the Jordan River Parkway Trail on request from Officer Benedict to act as a backup officer.

Upon arrival I met with Officer Benedict who explained what he had observed and asked me to watch the male he was with as he searched the campsite. I did as requested, the male subject that Officer Benedict was with seemed to be agitated for short periods of time but after conversing with him, he seemed to calm right down and was cooperative. When Officer Benedict completed his investigation, we both cleared the scene.

End of Report…Officer F. Durrant 65485

Detective Smith CSI supplement March 13th 2018 Case #X18-021577 Suspicious Incident

On 3-13-2018 I responded to the Jordan River Parkway Trail on request from Officer Benedict for processing of a potential crime scene.

Upon arrival I met with Officer Benedict who explained what he had observed and asked me to collect the evidence that he had observed. I asked Officer Benedict if he had obtained a warrant for the collection of evidence or if consent was given. Officer Benedict stated that the male he had been in contact with gave consent to search his property and that consent was recorded on his body cam as well as in writing.

I proceeded to collect the requested evidence by following crime scene preservation methods, standard operating procedures, and aseptic techniques. I obtained the blue cooler labeled as evidence #9485 and its contents. I also photographed all requested areas of the camp, Officer Benedicts suspect, and collected the documents labeled as evidence #9486.

All evidence will be stored in the crime lab for preservation until the assigned detective makes contact with me with requests for processing.

End of Report…Detective G. Smith CSI 65789

What you will find below is a very typical police report that has been generated from a road patrol officer who has been assigned to a 911 call for service. Reports like these are generated (depending on department size) hundreds of times per day. After road patrol officers initially respond they will take the initial report and then forward that report to the investigations division for so that the investigation can continue. The patrol division simply does not have time to investigate every aspect of every call that requires follow up. They (again, depending on department size) may handle up to 15 or 20 calls in a single shift so obviously they will not be able to provide the time needed for each call. They, patrol officers in cases like these, are simply observers and gatherers of facts and provide these facts to the investigations division for continued investigation.

Officer (C. Benedict) has responded to a location and gathered as much information as he could with his given circumstances. As an investigator you will be receiving reports very similar to this one on a daily basis, some reports will be better than others and some patrol officers will have more or less experience which will reflect in their report writing. The report in which you will be reading and following up on is quite detailed and will walk you through the process, the end of semester project will be a little more difficult.

In this report and directions for this assignment: It is early in the day and you have just finished several other cases. You are looking forward to a little break before the next case comes in when your supervisor comes into your office and hands you a case for investigation that has just come in from the patrol division.

Read the reports as they have been written here Mid-Term Reports and complete the following (narrate these questions):

Do you have any follow-up questions for the responding officer or is the report complete?
What is your response mindset and how you would initially pursue beginning this case (think back to Module 3) and begin with the progression of the investigative process even starting as basic as this report in progress or can we implement a strategic investigative response.
Review Module 4 and outline how you would use the STAIR Tool to work thru the process of investigating this suspicious incident.
Who (witnesses, suspect, CSI Detective, etc.) would like to talk to and how you would like to talk to them either in person or on the phone.
What evidence do you need to follow up on.
After compiling all of your facts and have accomplished/exhausted all investigative avenues, write a complete narrative pertinent to the situation. Will you be forwarding this case to the prosecutor’s office in an effort to charge the suspect with a crime or not charge the suspect with a crime? In this hypothetical situation we will stop short of sending this report to the prosecutor and it will be left for review by your Sgt. (me).
You may want to read ahead a little and skim over Module 11 which talks about writing narratives. This is a hypothetical “role play” type exercise, you are obviously not going to interview suspects or the victim in this case but if you did what questions would you ask, what answers would he give, etc.
As a quick guideline, a report of this nature should most likely be 4 to 6 pages minimum as you articulate your actions and the statements made of people you have interviewed, locations you have visited, described peoples mannerisms, compiled evidence to be submitted for prosecution etc. Remember you are writing as if you will be submitting this report for prosecution or to your supervisor. Again, you can jump ahead a little and review some pointers in Module 11 about report writing but the general construction of a report can be followed from reading your responding officers report.

Just to get you started on your “report” and to provide you with a starting point, you may want to start you report out something like…On 3-15-2018 I was assigned to Case #X18-021577, a suspicious Incident in which Officer C. Benedict had responded to prior. On this date I chose to review the interaction and conversation between “James” and Officer Benedict by reviewing the body cam footage first and then you are off and running into your investigation.

IF you are unsure about what you are to do, for example –critique, look up the term to be sure that you are ‘doing’ what is expected. Failure to complete the full assignment will result in loss of grade points. Organization is the internal structure of a piece of writing, the thread of central meaning that ties the piece together from beginning to ending. Begin with perhaps one to two sentences about the general topic. Followed by one to three sentences that describe in detail the purpose of the paper. A piece of solid academic writing: • begins with an introduction regarding the piece’s primary purpose or theme, which prepares the reader for what is to come, (., thesis statement). Students are asked to paraphrase the stated purpose of the assignment including all components in the introduction • ends with a conclusion that summarizes the key points of the piece, draws conclusions, and generally provides closure for the reader. The conclusion is a mirror image of the introduction; there is never new material added to the conclusion. The body of a piece of academic writing can be organized around a variety of structures. Students are not considered experts; therefore, any statements made that have not been previously developed and supported by references is considered unsubstantiated; fails to meet academic writing standards. SO, use references; not many quotes, but be sure that your definitive statements are supported. Examples of organizing structures: • Main Idea/Thesis with Supporting Details/Evidence; internal consistency within the paper—if in the introduction there is (a), (b), & (c), then in the paper each point is to be presented in order in the body of the paper. • Comparison-Contrast; know the difference (APA uses Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary; this can be accessed online) • Critique versus Analyze; know the difference (APA uses Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary; this can be accessed online) • Deductive Logic • Point-by-Point Analysis • Development of Central Theme • Chronology or History (., of an event, process, era) • Strategies versus Action Plan Solid academic writing uses transitional words and phrases to provide logical connections and sequencing. Graduate students are expected to have a greater word use than undergraduates. Practice using new words that ‘mean’ what you might usually say. However, be careful with use of word strings that have little meaning and diminish clarity; APA calls this ‘wordiness’ Examples of transitional words: • Addition: also, again, as well as, besides • Consequence: accordingly, as a result, consequently, for this reason • Generalizing: as a rule, as usual, generally • Illustration: for example, for instance, for one thing • Emphasis: above all, chiefly, with attention to, especially, particularly • Similarity: comparatively, coupled with, correspondingly • Exception: aside from, barring, besides, except, excluding • Restatement: in essence, in other words, namely • Comparison: in contrast, by the same token, conversely, instead, likewise • Summarizing: after all, all in all, briefly, in any case, in any event, in conclusion, in short, in summary, finally MECHANICS Download: Free version of Grammarly Description Guidelines and Examples Solid academic writing is characterized by the proper use of conventions and mechanics and sentence structure, including: spelling, grammar, paragraphing, capitalization, and punctuation. Examples of Conventions and Mechanics in Academic Writing: • Proper Use of Capitalization, Punctuation, Quotation Marks • Subject/Verb Agreement • Proper Use of Pronouns; if you have a question, check your APA guide; if it’s not there, reword the sentence or use the noun. • Technical Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Units of Measurement • Paragraphs that are indented; consisting of three or more sentences • Use of Title Page, Headers: APA 7th edition is expected • Avoiding the Use of: Contractions, Incomplete and Run-on Sentences WORD CHOICE and USAGE In solid academic writing, the use of language is precise, with correct word usage and appropriate word choice. In good descriptive writing, strong word choice clarifies and expands ideas. In persuasive writing, careful word choice moves the reader to a new vision of possibilities; your writing should have the reader say “wow that was terrible”; the writer doesn’t write ‘that was terrible’. Effective word choice depends less on an exceptional vocabulary and more on the skill to use everyday words well. Use a thesaurus for new words with more specific meaning: For example, “pronounce” for “say”, “embarkation” for “start.” In academic writing, “it” is not acceptable. Make sure the r‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌eader knows what the subject of each sentence is; clarity is key to effective APA format and Graduate level writing skill

Actions & Reactions

Background (THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT):You will play the role of an FBI Intelligence Analyst assigned to a headquarters unit, with a national-level portfolio.VNN and Sox News are reporting that a driver of a large Ryder Rental truck crashed through the police barricades during the opening of the Christkindl Market at downtown’s Skyline Park and plowed over the unsuspecting celebrants. Quick-acting police officers were able to stop the vehicle with a hail of bullets, but not before the driver had left a wake of carnage and destruction. City officials reported that nine people were pronounced dead at the scene and dozens injured. Witnesses stated that at approximately 8 pm, while hundreds of people were celebrating the start of the Christmas season and enjoying the numerous German artisans and the local church choir, the holiday festival was interrupted by the horrible sound of terrifying screams as the truck drove onto the sidewalk at a high rate of speed and started to run over people. It is estimated that the driver was able to drive the truck for approximately a quarter of a mile before the police were able to bring the vehicle to a halt.During an impromptu press conference, Denver Mayor Michelle Wong* advised that local, state, and federal officials are investigating this matter; she was reluctant to call this a terrorist attack. Denver Police Chief Robert White* praised the work of his officers and the emergency first responders in dealing with this crisis. He further stated that the driver of the truck, whose identity is unknown at this time, was taken to Rose Medical Center in serious condition. This is the same medical facility to which his victims were taken. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Christkindl Market attack, calling the driver a “soldier” in its fight against “crusader states” and the “infidels.” The FBI Denver Division, via its Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), has responded, has taken the point on the terrorism investigation, and is presently coordinating with the Denver Police Department. The FBIHQ, Counterterrorism Division, International Terrorism Operations Section has opened a preliminary terrorism investigation. You have been assigned to assist in the investigation and to task and coordinate the exchange of all pertinent information within the Intelligence Community. You also will be requested to draft the appropriate intelligence communications and conduct the appropriate FBIHQ briefings.The FBI Detroit Field Office advised FBIHQ that it initiated a preliminary civil rights investigation after the Detroit Police Department advised of a series of acts of vandalism on the Islamic Center of Detroit, the Masjid As-Sunnah, and Baitul Islam mosques. The vandalism included the breaking of windows and spray painting of graffiti on the buildings. The graffiti included Nazi swastikas, and the numbers “14” and “88.” Other offensive statements, such as “terrorist go home”, were also spray-painted on the buildings. The Detroit Police Department further advised it has had issues in the past with an anti-immigrant, white supremacist group known as “The Pack”, which was suspected of committing similar crimes in the city. The Michigan Fusion Center advised that The Pack operates a white supremacist website; the group recently posted its condemnation of the truck attack in Denver and called for the white community to rise against the Islamic immigrants that are “ruining this nation”. The purported leader of The Pack is William “Billy” Payne. Payne has an extensive criminal record and is currently imprisoned in the United States Penitentiary, Marion, Illinois, where he is serving a 20-year sentence for the armed robbery of a Brinks armored truck. Payne is still considered to be the leader of The Pack, and his writings and comments are regularly published on its website. The Pack is calling for a major protest targeting the Islamic communities of Michigan. It is being reported that The Pack is petitioning the City of Ann Arbor for a parade permit for September 11.The Michigan Fusion Center further advised that the Mayor has denied The Pack’s petition for a parade permit. Attorneys for The Pack, with support from the local ACLU, are bringing suit in Federal District Court charging that the City of Ann Arbor – by denying The Pack’s petition – is in violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by abridging the freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble. The Pack, in its complaint, cites U.S. Supreme Court case National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie, 432 U.S. 43 (1977). The Pack has stepped up its hateful rhetoric aimed at the Muslim community in Detroit. The Detroit Police Department reported that three members of the Baitul Islam Mosque were attacked after evening services by three white males wearing white hoods and carrying baseball bats. The victims, who are currently at the St. John’s Hospital and Medical Center, reported that the attackers were calling the victims terrorists and told them if they did not go back to the Middle East, the attackers would keep coming back until they did. The Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division has authorized the civil rights investigations on the recent attack at the Baitul Islam Mosque and the previous acts of vandalism targeting the Islamic Center and mosques in Detroit. FBIHQ has opened a National Domestic Terrorism preliminary investigation against The Pack. The FBI Detroit Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) has been assigned the lead for these acts of violence against the Detroit Islamic community.ISIS has released a video that condemns the recent attack at the Baitul Islam Mosque and calls for a jihad against all infidels in the United States and Israel. The video appeals to all Muslims living in the United States to use any weapons that they can find in order to join the jihad for an Islamic state, a Caliphate. The video also shows how to use automobiles and knives in suicide attacks in highly populated regions. The video pays homage to the recent truck attacks in Denver, New York, and Nice; and the knife attacks in London and Jerusalem.The Pack, on its website, is calling for a protest at the Baitul Islam Mosque in Detroit in four weeks – on April 20. This coincides with the Lollapalooza 4-day concert event being held at the Tiger Stadium in Detroit. The Southern Poverty Law Center is reporting that the protest is being promoted on the websites of the numerous white supremacist, neo-Nazi, skinhead, Christian Identity, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant groups. The New Jersey Department of Homeland Security issued an intelligence report that indicates that the Anti-Pack, a known affiliate of Antifa, is planning on counter-protest on April 20 in Detroit. MI-5 is reporting that known members of the London-based Hooligans are talking of traveling to the United States to attend the Lollapalooza event. Canadian Security Intelligence Service is also reporting that known participants of the violent anti-G20 summit, which led to 400 arrests in Toronto, also plan on travelling to Detroit during this timeframe.

Please read the following scenario and watch the news inject below before attempting your assignments for this module. Review common cognitive biases by clicking here (Links to an external site.) and reading through the Know Your Bias website.
The Federal District Court decided in favor of The Pack and orders the City of Ann Arbor to issue the requested parade permit. In the court’s opinion, the City of Ann Arbor violated The Pack’s First Amendment rights. The City of Ann Arbor has advised that it will not appeal the Court’s ruling and will issue the permit. The Islamic Center of Detroit, which had filed amicus curiae legal briefs in support of the City of Ann Arbor, issued a statement expressing its disappointment in the Court’s ruling and calling for the Islamic community to exercise its First Amendment rights to protest The Pack during the parade.

The Detroit Police Department advised that the Islamic Center of Detroit has rented ten school buses to transport community members to Ann Arbor on the morning of the scheduled parade. Intelligence further states that the Anti-Pack website has called for members to descend on Ann Arbor to stage a rally against The Pack. FBIHQ intelligence estimates, based on past protests, that approximately 100 members of The Pack will attend the Ann Arbor event and approximately 100 Anti-Pack members will oppose them.

The City of Ann Arbor Mayor’s Office issued a press release stating that although the Mayor was disappointed with the Court’s decision, the city will treat The Pack’s parade as if it were any other parade in the city. The Mayor advised that the Ann Arbor Police Department is capable in handling any security concerns. The Mayor compared the parade to the annual 4th of July parade. The Mayor further stated that he will not “turn his city into a police state” to handle a simple parade. The Chief of Police was quoted as stating that it was his intent to provide a secure environment for all participants while ensuring the peaceful exercise of the First Amendment.

Shortly after the start of the parade, violence erupted when protesters commenced throwing rocks and bottles at the parade participants, which consisted of approximately 75-100 members of The Pack carrying anti-immigration signs and dressed in Nazi regalia. Those identified as throwing rocks and bottles were believed to be members of the Anti-Pack; it was estimated that they numbered approximately 100-150 protesters. These protesters were dressed in black and wearing helmets with their faces covered with bandanas. The violence turned into a riot when the parade participants broke ranks and entered onto the sidewalks of downtown Ann Arbor to confront the Anti-Pack members and members of the Detroit Islamic community.

In the ensuing melee, cars were overturned, fires were set, shop windows were broken, and looting occurred. Reports of gunfire were reported, but were not subsequently verified. The Ann Arbor Police Department was accused of standing by as the mayhem escalated. There were also reports of police officers watching passively for hours as the battle between the warring factions continued into the night. The violence did not come to an end until after 8 hours, when the Governor ordered hundreds of Michigan State Police Officers to assist in restoring order.
In the aftermath, over 60 people were injured, hundreds of thousands of dollars of property damage was recorded, and 75 people were arrested. Five Ann Arbor Police Officers were also injured during the riot. The Ann Arbor Police Officers advised that they became the prime target of the violence once they attempted to stop the melee. On its website, The Pack is calling for immediate retaliation against the Islamic community and the Anti-Pack. The Anti-Pack is claiming that it was the victim of police brutality and is calling for actions against the law enforcement community.

Assignment: As events continue to unfold in unexpected ways, the pace starts to take its toll on your leadership and colleagues. Conflict arises as various units argue over the best course of action. Some want to take an aggressive approach, while some want to wait and see what happens next, believing that things will calm on their own. Additionally, some want to keep information closely held to protect the investigation, while others want to share broadly with the local law enforcement community. You realize that you have to not only be careful about your own preconceived ideas of the groups involved, but also help your team to do the same while being cognizant of how it all looks to the public, and while protecting sensitive information.
Directions: Draft a two-page intelligence bulletin for the law enforcement community. Ensure you supply recommendations on how the police should handle media requests. Make sure that your bulletin takes into account the likely perceptions of what has occurred, and anticipate the questions that will be raised by the media. Additionally, consider what information is likely to be considered law enforcement sensitive (LES), and the ways in which your law enforcement partners can navigate it effectively.

Key things to keep in mind when writing this: Note, that the Bulletin in very similar to past intelligence reports, but the Bulletin serves a more general purpose and is often utilized to “educate” the stakeholders on an aspect of a particular law enforcement investigation, trend, threat, tactic, weapon, or a new technological or laboratory finding. THIS NEXT PART IS VERY IMPORTANT -The typical critique is as follows:

Remember that an FBI Bulletin is to warn of a threat, advise of situation that needs the Law Enforcement Communities attention, or provide a teaching moment of best practices, etc. You needed to provide more background of the situation to alert the general law enforcement community of the situation that occurred in Ann Arbor and that if you have a “Islamic Community” within your jurisdiction, ensure that you are proactive in preventing the escalation of violence by such groups.

Within your Bulletin you also want to provide some supporting analysis and citations of similar events. How about a comparison with the events at Charlottesville?

We all know that the Ann Arbor, and to a certain degree the State Police, mishandled the situation, therefore what are the lessons learned? Advise the LE community that “It is recommended that an impartial investigation be conducted of the incident in order to prevent a similar occurrence, and that the law enforcement community can learn how to appropriately prepare and respond to future similar events in order to mitigate the violence and destruction of property while protecting the civil rights of its citizens.”

Since this Bulletin is going to all the LE communities throughout the nation, you have to be more diplomatic and not embarrass a police department with such phrases “watching passively” that have not been verified. Also, do not forget to advise the LE community to ensure that their media/press releases should blame those parties who caused this violence and brought the destruction to this community. In addition, they should ensure the public that those responsible will be brought to justice.

Be Analytical, think of the big picture, Use they key things in mind as a way to help guide you do this, must use background information.
