...Cade Pendleton English 2010 Angie Carter June 14, 2012 Final Research Paper Man’s Best Friend: Dogs or Technology A few years ago I had the opportunity to job shadow a canine (k9) officer while he was participating in routine training with his dog. Little did I know, “routine training” meant all police canine officers in Salt Lake County, Utah County, and Davis County would assemble at an abandoned building and practice multiple real life scenarios. As I stood and watched in awe all night, I witnessed a few unsettling scenarios. First, I witnessed dog being released on command to attack a person acting as a criminal. The attack wasn’t the unsettling part about the scenario. What really bothered me was seeing the dog misidentify a fellow police officer as the criminal and attack the officer, who unfortunately was not in a bite suit. A bite suit is protective clothing the trainers wear when training their dogs to attack. Since the officer was not wearing protective gear, he suffered many lacerations and received multiple stiches. As the night continued, I was able to watch another training scenario involving Taser guns or stun guns. Unlike the dog, this technique worked flawlessly. The officer was able to take down the accurate perpetrator in a proficient manner and no fellow officers were injured. On this particular night, there was an accidental injury that doesn’t happen often involving the canine. However, this introduced a couple of questions. Does this happen frequently...

...Case Study Questions: 1. What is the difference between a pull and a push strategy? Which of these strategies did the Fred Astaire Super Bowl campaign exemplify? According to Week 6 lecture notes: “Consumer Sales Promotions use Pull Strategies, which means "The use of incentives to motivate end users to purchase a brand and thus pressure retailers to stock that brand." This consumer demand then pulls the product through the distribution channel. Trade Promotions use Push Strategies, which means "The use of incentives to motivate the buying and reselling of products." These strategies push the product through the distribution channel.” The case study clips actually state that “The Astaire campaign was designed to pull Dirt Devil products through traditional indirect distribution channels.” Not only did it have the 45 seconds of air time that was memorable to create the buzz about the product but it gained added publicity through the “200 television stories and a 1100 printed articles, giving Dirt Devil an estimated $5 million worth of total publicity from the Superbowl campaign.” This was a definite positive use of MC to create brand recognition and motivate the end user to purchase the product. b) In your opinion, why was this successful campaign? It was a successful campaign for two reasons: 1) Dirt Devil used the power of the media to create the buzz about its new product. By having air time during the Superbowl you are actually...

...The Quantity vs. Quality in Special Forces Review of Literature Carlos Falcón Saldaña MBA 525 Abstract Special Forces (SF), or more comely called “Green Berets” have a long and prestigious historical roots that stem from the elite Army formations of World War II and the Office of Strategic Service (OSS). In fiscal year 2015, the Army is looking for about 3,000 candidates to attend Special Forces Assessment and Selection, officials from the Special Operations Recruiting Battalion (SORB) said. Recruiters are seeking about 2,000 active-duty enlisted soldiers, 1,540 new recruits (for the 18X program), and about 400 active-duty officers. (Tan, 2015) With the US Army’s draw down and many SF Soldiers getting out for various reasons (Retirement, Medical Discharge, Career Opportunities) the US Army had to do something and something quick to keep the number of SF soldiers in the ranks. The re-birth of an old program seem to be the solution for this problem. This paper will identify the Quantity vs. Quality in Special Forces and in the SF Soldiers and identify why this program was “Moth-Balled” in the first place. Chapter I Introduction Introduction Special Forces (SF), Green Berets were first formed from the Office of Strategic Service (OSS) back from WWII. The OSS was formed in World War II to gather strategic intelligence and conduct operations behind enemy lines in support of resistance groups in Europe and the Far East.

Not only has the task of the RNLA changed, but so has its composition. To begin with the first aspect: the task of the RNLA and that of the armed forces as a whole has been extended. This means that operations outside the Netherlands in all manner of international frameworks, such as the UN and NATO, have become the rule rather than the exception. The composition of the RNLA and of the armed forces has also changed. We no longer have conscripts in our army; we have all-volunteer forces, forces that wish to reflect society on a number of important counts. One of the significant consequences of the changes in respect of the new task and composition of the armed forces is the confrontation with different cultures and with different and new values and standards. To ensure that military personnel are able to deal with this situation in a professional manner, education in ethics is extremely important. This article elaborates on why this is the case and how such a professional attitude can be achieved. Section 1 contains an explanation of what exactly constitutes ethics, with section 2 taking this a step further and concentrating on the division of general ethics into corporate ethics and professional ethics. Another division takes us to the ethics of military practice. Thus section 3...

...trafficking cases involving minors remain one of the most complicated aspects of the anti-trafficking efforts in Texas. While there is a common view that children who are caught up in human trafficking are victims, the best approach to the cases remains somewhat elusive –falling somewhere in between the juvenile justice and child welfare systems. Much of the focus of ant-human trafficking efforts has been on female domestic minor sex trafficking victims, as they represent most of known cases. However, male victims of sex trafficking are often overlooked. Stepping up the focus on male victims may also be an effective strategy to address one of the root causes of human trafficking. One study found that 72% of pimps were male, and 56%...

Jesus Villamor Air Base, Pasay City COMMANDANT’S PAPER THE IMPACT OF INTERNAL SECURITY OPERATION IN THE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF AIR DEFENSE WING CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING 1.1 INTRODUCTION "Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur." - Giulio Douhet, Command of the Air A fitting quotation by Douhet for the case of Air Defense Wing wherein the organization was not able to anticipate the streamlining strategy of the government, leaving the Wing no choice but to adapt to the changes in the Command’s thrust of prioritizing Internal Security Operations rather than Territorial Defense Operations to prove its relevance as one of the primary unit of the Philippine Air Force. Caught unprepared of the significant changes in governments thrust, ADW is now suffering in terms of its force structure and budget allocation as it continues to fight for its relevance and existence as one of the premier unit of the PAF. The Background and Rationale of the Study Budget Allocation Statistically, the lowest percentage of allocation in National Budget is in Defense. Debt service gets the biggest share in the proposed budget at 34.1 percent. Social services and economic services follow with 27.9 percent and...

...RE: Different methods of training(A) On the Job Training Methods On the job training methods are by far the most commonly used in training for all levels of personnel. The object of on the job training is to bring the employees to at least a minimum acceptable standard of performance in the shortest possible lime. The worker by these methods learns to master the operations involved on the actual job situation under the supervision of his immediate loss who has to carry the primary burden of conducting this training. Various methods of on the job training are as follows:- (1) On specific Job—The most common or formal on the job training programme is training for specific job. Current practice in job training has been strongly influenced by the war time training within industry which was first designed to improve the job performance through job instruction training. There are following methods of training: (A) Experience—This is the oldest method of on-the- job training. But as a sole approach, it is wasteful, time consuming and inefficient. It has been observed that it should be followed by other training methods to make it more effective. In a survey, it was found that they kept up to date through a variety of activities which were largely unrelated to formal continuing education courses. On the job, problem-solving and colleague interactions were prompted as being most important for professional growth by 62 per cent respondents. (B) Coaching-On-the-job coaching by...

... PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM | Q8 | C RATING SCALE | Q9 | A HUMAN RESOURCES | Q10 | B MANAGEMENT GAME | PART TWO Ans 1. Human needs and desires are the driving force that an individual is guided by. Growth within the system brings along with it respect and self satisfaction. It is not always higher remuneration and facilities that retain/ attract employees in a system. Satisfaction of these needs do need to be fulfilled by the organization to retain talent. Career planning therefore manifests in the system as a continuous process, which enables them to optimize the output of individuals. This provides a continuous window of opportunity for achieving self goals. It thereby results in a motivated work force and culture, retains and attracts talent, provides in house inventory of suitable workforce for HR needs of the organisation. The process would have to be specific to each organization depending on the external and internal environment of the industry.

...our police forces and encompasses a wide range of problems, from cases of excessive force, to civil rights violations, to budgetary problems. This research will include events that led to the creation of the first SWAT units, the aftereffects of the September 11 attacks, as well as the problems that both the contemporary public and police agencies face today. Finally, this project will highlight several proposed solutions to curb the increasing prevalence of police militarization, specifically as it pertains to agency administration. Militarized Police: A Growing Epidemic Eric Reed Liberty University Every day across the United States, tens of thousands of police officers and federal agents put their lives on the line to serve their communities and their country. They face a myriad of threats that could reveal themselves at any given moment, and it's impossible to predict what the next day of work holds for these men and women. The key to survival is to be well-prepared for any situation; as such, it is of utmost importance that our officers and agents have access to the protection and tools they need to deal with and adapt to the ever-changing force of crime. However, this protection comes at a cost. There comes a point when the level of protection and firepower wielded by police and federal agencies begins to encroach on the civil liberties of American citizens, and the trust between law enforcement agencies and their communities becomes eroded. Cases of overwhelming...

...Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan A Case Study of Adaption Battle Randle, Eric J SSG SLC 25B40 Class 005-18 Abstract During Operation Anaconda MG Hagenbeck the Coalition Joint Task Force (CJTF) was able to interact with different military branches to accomplish the mission at hand. The CJTF was giving very little intelligence and information about Shahikot Valley in Afghanistan. They were giving less equipment and personnel that was not properly trained on the mission at hand. This was the first time that different DOD branches and local Afghan Troops were combined into one Coalition Joint Task Forces (CJTF). During Operation Anaconda many objectives were not met due to their inexperience and the lack of training with other Department of Defense (DOD) branches and Afghan Troops. The Coalition forces were able to adapt to the mission to accomplish the objective and learn from the overall mission failures and success. This lead to Coalition Forces to be able to be better prepared and organized for...

...Abstract The Army, as part of the Department of Defense (DOD), is the premier military organization in the world. Part of what makes the Army an outstanding organization is the diverse backgrounds that their soldiers are come from. There are African-Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Americans, Native-Americans, Pacific Islanders, and more that help balance out its demographic profile. Soldiers who are Caucasian make up the majority of the Army demographic (Army G1, 2014). What is most impressive is the ability for everyone to work together to accomplish the Army’s mission with so few cases of equal opportunity violations per capita. While the Army celebrates diversity by recognizing different women and minorities during certain months, does the Army sacrifice the best-qualified person for diversity? Surprisingly, there have been times where the Army has gone against its own policies and training to enhance diversity; failing to recognize the best-qualified soldiers for promotion. Promote the Best Qualified, or Consider Diversity? One of the strengths of the Army is its soldiers come from a wide background with unique talents and abilities. This diversity helps the Army accomplish its goals and soldiers have successful careers based on their performance and potential for increased responsibility. However, can an organization like the DOD be successful if they prioritize the needs of a particular group higher than that of sequestration or national? Although Americans say...
