...Interviews and Interrogations Policy Paper Name SEC/360 Date Instructor In the security and law enforcement industry, interviews and interrogations are a way that officers can gathers facts and information about a situation, incident, or case. For security and law enforcement officers interviews and interrogations play a key role in building and solving cases. This paper will discuss the comparison and contrast between security interviews and security interrogations, the legal issues associated with security interviews and interrogations, and finally a security organization policy on conducting security interviews and interrogations. Interviewing and interrogating suspects are two important but separate vital aspects of collecting information about criminal activity. The difference between an interview and an interrogation is that security professionals conduct interviews, and law enforcement officers can conduct both. When a security officer conducts an interview, the main purpose is to collect information from individuals who may have witnessed a crime. At first, the facts are not known and the individual is not accused of a crime, and the setting is meant to be comfortable and have an open dialogue. With interrogations the goal is to obtain reliable information to provide to the prosecutor and to the judge or jury so they have an accurate account of the crime. The setting of an interrogation is formal and in a controlled environment conducted, only...

...The person I chose to reach out to Mr. Kelly Hayes, LMSW, one of the social workers in the Wayne Westland Community School District. Kelly has worked in the profession for 20 years and is approaching retirement; his experience in the field drew me to him. I wondered what sort of information or works of wisdom he could have for an aspiring social worker. I chose to interview a social worker in a school setting because I am most unfamiliar with how social workers go about their profession in an education setting. In addition to that, I was interested in his experience as a male in the social work profession, seeing as it is predominately women who chose this field. Kelly Hayes did his undergrad at Spring Arbor University, where he majored in Human Resources. Mr. Hayes intended to go to school for business and he wanted to run a non-profit organization, but quickly decided that that wasn’t for him. The University of Michigan Ann Arbor is where Kelly went to graduate school, he was in the Social Work Master’s program, and was following the Executive Leadership track. Shortly into his graduate studies, he...

...For this interview I choose to interview someone of a different ethnicity than me. To start off the interview I asked her what ethnicity she identifies with, and why she identified with that ethnicity. She said identifies as Hispanic, a direct quote being “I am latinaaa”. She is proud of this particular heritage. One reason she identifies as Hispanic is that her household culture is very different than at school. At her home it is more of a Hispanic culture, while at school it isn’t a very Hispanic culture. After finding out she identifies as Hispanic I decided to ask her a few more questions. A second question I asked her was what are some challenges she face due to her ethnicity? When I asked her this question she seemed to struggle coming up with answers. Which indicates to me that she likes her ethnicity, however she did come up with a few answers. An answer being that sometimes when she is talking she says English words with a Spanish fleur. According to my interviewer some English words sound extremely similar to their Spanish counterpart,...

...Conducting personal interviews are a great way to connect with someone who shares the same passion or interests as you. Not only can they be informative, but they can also open up doors to demonstrate all the different aspects your future career will be comprised of. For this reason, I chose to interview Phyllis Fennel who was a Registered Nurse. I was able to learn a great deal about the profession of nursing and all the things it entails. First, I was able to find out what a typical day at the job consisted of. For a nurse, every day brings rise to new and varying situations. Patients are constantly coming and going each with their own condition or reason for hospitalization. Some characteristics of the job that occur every day include checking...

...I was very tensed and nervous when the day came for me to interview an elderly. Interviewing a total stranger was nerve wracking. It was scary. I have never done anything like this before so it was really challenging on my part. I have to practice first what I was going to say when I approached someone. It was hard to look someone who was willing to spend at least half an hour of their time to interview them. My partner and I weighed if elderlies we passed by were friendly. We targeted for friendly elderlies because they are easy to talk to and are not frightening to approach. Our grandparents or any other older adults that were close to us were out of the list. We did not want to interview them. We already know so much about them and the lives...

...Reflection paper Interviews something, we all must go through in life. The mock interview is a practice interview where we can experience a real interview and with the purpose that we will gain experience from it and learn our own experience and have the chance to become better.

The experience put me in high alert because during the interview I felt so much adrenaline in my body. My body gave me...

...Parent Interview In this paper, I am going to discuss my role as an interviewer and the steps I take to ensure a good interview. For this project, I chose to interview a family I have known for several years. They live in the same neighborhood as I. The father’s name is Alex and the mother’s name is Ashley. They have two children, a five year old son and a two year old daughter. The son’s name is Marcus and daughter’s name is Mariah. The family used to live in Woodland, but have been living in Davis for the last two years. Both Ashley and Alex were born and brought up here in USA; Ashley was born in Wisconsin and lived there for 13 years with her parents, while Alex was born in Fairfield but later moved to Woodland. He was raised by a single mom because his parents divorced when he was five. The divorce negatively affected Alex; which is why he wants his children to have a better environment with lots of love and care. Alex’s parenting style was permissive. Ashley’s parents were together and worked a lot but gave her the proper nurturing that she...

...The videographer interview is probably the most important step in choosing the right professional to cover your event. Although the information gathering stage is vital, the interview will make or break the wedding videographer's chances of working with you. This is when you must get all the facts and evaluate the wedding videographer's capability to produce the footage you want. This can be intimidating for brides and grooms who know nothing about taking video. As you work through the interview, be prepared and know what to expect. The Tone of the Interview The tone of the interview is probably the easiest thing to evaluate. As soon as you schedule the meeting over the phone, you should start to get a feel for how this wedding videographer treats customers. While you present questions and listen to answers, evaluate how the professional responds to you. If they seem cold or annoyed by your questions, end the interview and look elsewhere....

...My interviewee was Argentina Raudales, my mom. She was born on April 22, 1953, in Esquías, Comayagua, Honduras. She spoke of anecdotes about her childhood and why she moved to the United States, yet she was kept in a bubble by her parents about the wars and disagreements happening around her country and neighboring countries. I chose to interview my mom because she would always tell me stories about her childhood, yet she never told me anything bad happening in Honduras but because of history, I know civil wars were happening in Central America during the time she was growing up. My grandfather was in the military, but when he got married to my grandmother he left the military and worked in agriculture. During the 50’s and 60’s, he decided...

...This mock interview experience gave me an insight of what a real job interview would be. This experience wasn't exactly fun or entertaining but it was interesting, educational, and inspirational. It was interesting because it wasn't what I thought it would be, it was educational because she explained to me that you should always stay on top of your game and don't fall back because when you get held back it stops you from moving forward towards your career, and it was inspirational because she inspired me to follow my dreams because if you believe you can do it, you can achieve those goals with actions upon it. What made it so easy for me to respond to her in a good manner was she gave me a comfortable environment that made me feel that I wasn't...

...Marisa Wheelock March 24, 2010 Geography 167 Interview Paper Felly Mellberg was born and raised on the island of Mindando of the Philippines. She lived in the very rural town of Davao, pronounced ‘Dabao’. Davao is a very large, very poor town. It is located by the beach and not far from the big city. Although very large in size, Davao is a very close nit neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and their business. There are a lot of volcanoes and earthquakes in Davao. Mount Apo, the highest point in the Philippines, is located right by Felly's house. The Philippines has a very hot and humid climate and rain is the only element the people have to worry about. The days run like clockwork in the Philippines as the sun comes up and goes down everyday promptly at six. The Philippines consist of two social classes, rich and poor. There is no established middle class, either you live in the big Americanized cities, or you are poor and live in the country. Felly has only been in America for nine years. She moved to California when she married an American. She said, “There are so many differences between the Philippines and America”. Housing The houses are small and are home to many family members. As Felly said, “You live with your whole family. I lived with my parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. We all lived in the same house”. The houses they have are very different from the houses we see here in America. They are typically made...
