...On April 16, 2013 at approximately 13:15 I Officer was dispatched to the U.S. Bank at 310 Main Street, to a silent alarm. I responded immediately and arrived on scene at Approximately 13:25. I was the first officer on scene, I noticed there had in fact been a crime committed, I then secured the area and persons on scene and waited for back-up to arrive. Once back-up arrived, we entered the building tactfully and cleared the building finding no suspects inside. After clearing the building I interviewed the branch manager David Towe. Mr. Towe stated that he was in his office when the suspects entered, Mr. Towe heard a commotion out in the lobby and stepped out to see what the problem was and then immediately ordered to the ground at gunpoint. Mr. Towe remembered that the gun was a chrome revolver and that the suspect was a W/M approx. 5’7. That was all Mr. Towe could recall at that time. I then interviewed Sue Smith, the bank teller. Mrs. Smith remembered the 2 suspects coming in and one immediately approached the counter where Mrs. Smith was and the other ordered bank employees and one customer to the ground. The suspect who Mrs. Smith described as a tall slender B/M wearing panty hose on his head, appeared to be bald, wearing a red hoodie, and white shorts, demanded Mrs. Smith at gunpoint, describing the gun as a black pistol, to give the Suspect all the money. Mrs. Smith then emptied the drawer into a bag with an ink bomb in it and handed it to the suspect; the suspect then went...

...Bureaucratic Control People do not like change. In fact, even when change leads to job improvement, such as making one’s job easier or more efficient, people will initially resist it. In the company overview, Jack and Jenny can outline what the employee can expect of the company and what the company in turn expects from them. If employers evolve as their workers evolve, the end result will be a more dynamic and competitive organization where knowledge is shared, action is taken quickly and new possibilities are opened. The performance of an employee cannot be measured effectively unless a standard has been set against which to measure the employee's daily performance. When you are setting performance standards, it is helpful to clearly state, “Here is what meeting expectations looks like and here is what exceeding expectations would look like.” Clear expectations provide a solid foundation on which to provide recognition and reinforcement as well as guidance and corrective feedback. It's not fair to hit people with corrective feedback or a bad review if you have not made your expectations clear. An employee handbook can help managers and workers know how to deal with difficult situations. Employee performance can be improved just as much if not more by general management practices that recognize the individual. The best way managers can measure performance is to be as open as possible about how they make decisions, and to have a clear...

...History CASS During the Second World War, Britain’s civilians faced a major number of problems due to the amount of bombs falling continuously night after night during the 8 months of the Blitz in 1940 – 1941. I am going to use three criteria in my assessments of these representations to determine a judgement of which is ‘best’ for describing the reaction of civilians. Representation 1 is not complete in it’s analysis of the civilians reaction as it fails to mention certain key points. One would be that there is no mention of any civilians showing high spirits for the Blitz, this article for example, shows the vast amount of devastation, disenchantment and suffering caused by the Blitz but they all had to continue with their ordinary lives and bounce back as quickly as they could in order to restore their homes and I am aware that people ripped up their fences for the use of metal to construct planes to support the soldiers, however there is no mention of this at all in Representation 1. Another key point would be that there is only mention of bombs and the ruin they caused however there is no mention of evacuation of children and how it affected the families in the process or how many people had to ration throughout the Blitz in order to survive with the little amount they had. Representation 1 is not objective as the author (Craig Stewart-Hunter) is clearly trying to break the idea of positivity. The article is modern (2011), therefore there should be some objectivity as...

...1. Was Officer A in pursuit of the suspect’s vehicle? Clearly, Officer A was in direct pursuit of the suspect’s vehicle. In fact, he was in such a hurry that he did not activate the sirens to warn others, and the suspect. He was ordered by the sergeant to halt his pursuit, but he ignored and persisted. 2. As an arbitrator, would you uphold or deny the grievance? Of course, as arbitrator, I would have to uphold the grievance in this instance. The Officer deliberately disregarded direct orders given by the sergeant; this constitutes clear and utter violation of regulations. Punishment is inevitable for such offenses. Once the oath was been sworn, it is the responsibility of the officer to abide by all policies and procedures therein. 3. Would you change the punishment of Officer A from a one- day suspension to that of a written warning? Because it was a first offense, yes, I think that I would possibly give the lesser reprimand, written counsel. Officer A did exert honorable actions, and may have simply acted on impulse. The irony comes into play by way of policies set in place to ensure safety of both, officer and civilian. 4. What is the value to the police command in disciplining Officer A? The value to the police command in awarding Officer A his punishment was sort of generic. I say this because, although the punishment was eminent due to the officer’s actions, it seems as if the main purpose behind the paradigm was to instill a false bravado...

...Analyzing Image Essay A picture is worth a thousand words, yet even some pictures of delectable items are not so appealing to the eye, and capturing the essence of food is quite the job. The portrayal of scrumptious or attractive décor has a price, and in some cases can be deceiving. Though there are not any words in these advertisements, a lot is certainly depicted in each. Not everything that glitters is always gold. The drive to have and consume the extravagant is compelling. Seen the first photo advertisement for Clementine Granita is an example of sweet delectable bites. This is certainly one of the better ads that appeal to the average foodie. The photographer used simple yet effective lighting and background, perhaps to instill simplicity. It conveys a measure of healthy due to the white background and clear glass Pyrex. Pure ingredients are silently conveyed in this advertisement for Clementine desserts. Clearly, the objectivity is to get the viewer to buy and eat this fruit. This one-sided framed shot suggests the audience too want what appears to be already eaten or is not present. The top illumination sings of bright, fresh, outdoor, color, which insists that one’s mouth salivates while reading the recipe. Consider though the other side too this advertisement, which is what they do not tell the consumer. Consider how much sugar is in this dish. The calories in each little beautiful morsel contain enough to put someone in a diabetic comma if consumed. The theme...

...5 common Personal Interview (PI) questions for distance MBA graduates Nowadays, as the demand for MBA graduates through the distance learning mode has increased, many working professionals seek to upgrade their academic qualifications for a better career. Every year, lakhs of students and professionals apply for MBA programs at top business schools in the country. However, with limited seats, there is tough competition to get an entry into one of the top institutions.

After clearing the entrance exam, a candidate has to pass through the rounds of Group Discussion (GD) followed by Personal Interview (PI). An aspirant successfully clearing all the three rounds is eligible for admission to distance MBA programs at top B-Schools. Personal Interview is a generic interview.

I completely agree that a visionary company has to have clear goals and the ability to sustain them. But it is not necessary that it should be established before 1950. There are visionary companies that established after 1950. For example Reliance Industries...

...Date: 2/18/2014 To: Heathcot-Lynn Foundation Board of Directors Subject: Overall Review and Funding Decisions of Proposals The Heathcot-Lynn Foundation has been an innovator in the health and safety sector for many years. Due to the popularity of this foundation the amount of proposals received is astronomical. In a perfect scenario, funding could be given to every proposal, seeing as how perfect scenarios are almost impossible to come by some tough decisions need to be made. My team and I have given much thought to the $3000 we can allocate across the four different proposals. Procedures The most important part for every member on our team to understand is what a good proposal looks like, and what it takes for an idea to be funded. After our team understood that idea they were able to analyze each proposal individually, so individual opinions could be formed to enable constructive input in the larger group meeting. Keeping in mind the evaluation criteria Heathcot-Lynn provided us; need for project, goal, project approach, cost, and impact our team got down to work collaboratively. Findings The first proposal submitted by the Skyline Coalition comes to us with not just one issue, but two. Right away it is clear to understand the need for, and goals of this project. The first problem arises when looking at the project approach criteria. The proposal doesn’t say how they plan on sustaining the prescription distribution beyond the three month time frame funding...
