Blog 17 - Interview 3 Reflection

1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview? 
I learned that policy changes are actually a constant thing being updated in Law Enforcement and are not just mentioned and gone over in training.

2.  How has your approach to interviewing changed over the course of your senior project?
Not much has changed about my interviewing approach, my whole comfort level with senior project has changed. The only thing that might have changed with my interviewing is probably the fact that I planned it out a bit more. (Sidenote, the individual I had originally planned to interview was unavailable and will probably be interviewed at a later date.)

Answer 2

1.  What is your EQ?
How has the history of law enforcement shaped the current policies?

2.  What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
The history of law enforcement has shaped its current policies for women in law enforcement.

3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
The history of law enforcement has shaped its current policies for interrogation techniques.

4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.

1. Training: Law Enforcement employees are taught these tactics in their training.
2. Media: Many people assume that the tactics they see on television are the ones law enforcement actually uses
3. Real Life: These are actual tactics used and there were many more that did not work.

7.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.
Learning about the things and techniques law enforcement actually uses is a interesting way to show how law enforcement has grown.

Independent Component 2 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
I at the current moment have no idea what I going to plan to do with my second Independent Component and would like to discuss it would my house and advisory house teacher before deciding what I will do.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I will probably do something similar to what I did for my first Independent Component where I made a powerpoint and put pictures and links to papers I wrote for the component.


3.  Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.
At the current moment I have no idea.



4.  Post a log in your Senior Project Hours link and label it "Independent Component 2" log.

Independent Component 1

• LITERAL
  (a) Write: “I, Brooke N Cooper, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 31 hours of work.”
  (b) Cite your source regarding who or what article or book helped you complete the independent component.
  "Writing a Police Report Narrative." Ohio Literacy Resource Center, Kent State University. N.d. Web. 12 November 2015. "13 Ways to Make Fake Blood." WikiHow, Wikipedia. N.d. Web. 18 October 2015.
  
  (c) Update your hours in your Senior Project Hours link. Make sure it is clearly labeled with hours for individual sessions as well as total hours.
  Hours log here
  
  (d) Explain what you completed.   
  I recreated the investigation that was described in the information for the Mock Trial we did for Rivas's class.
  
• INTERPRETIVE 
  Defend your work and explain its significance to your project and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work. 
  I recreated on of the scenes described in the information given to me in the packet for the investigation. I took pictures then chose three that would show what was described. I found a document that had a search warrant that you fill out and made it a PDF to fill out on the computer and filled it out on the computer. Then I rewrote 3 reports that were described in the information and did a debrief on them. Here is the PowerPoint I made that shows all of this. (All of the reports and the debrief are on the PowerPoint.)
  
• APPLIED
  How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate this.
  It made me really take a look into how the investigations and the reports that most people in law enforcement have to write and have they have to be very detailed and how much work it actually takes.
