...It takes time being an undercover cop, it’s not an easy job especially if the cops are trying to catch the right person. If undercover cops were to go into Bogan trying to fit in as a regular student they would have to make friends, build trust, Look sullen, crack jokes, and get bad grades. While fitting in and making connections is important for undercover officers, it’s more important that their fellow students don’t realize they’re narcs. Officers adopt different strategies depending on their real-life personalities, but one obvious way to head off suspicion is to act as un-coplike the best way they could. Undercover cops would have to act like an normal troubled teenager that has to involve breaking school rules, ditching class, come to school late, hang out with the wrong crowd etc. In their first few days, they might act quiet or nervous but they would have to become comfortable around the teens, that’s how a normal teen would act on their first day to a new school. Appearance is also crucial. Shaggy hair, skateboard shoes, and chain wallets are popular accessories, I prefer that the cops choose a persona that’s not too far removed from their real one, to minimize the amount of acting necessary, A name that sounds like their own is also a good touch, talking different, acting different. But going undercover as a student has it pros and cons. Anything can happen during the time frame of how long a cop is...

...this assignment was having on her, but they were committed now; there was no going back. The team had spent too long infiltrating the organisation and she was their only hope. During the time she had been under cover she had alerted them to more shipments of girls than he cared to recall, and the risk had grown with her every betrayal. She knew it was only a matter of time before they rumbled her and her life wouldn’t be worth a fig if the team were unable to protect her and extradite her at exactly the right moment. The latest shipment had arrived at Heathrow only hours before and were already on their way to a secret location in London where there would be an auction of the girls, some as young as eight, and where the special unit of police would be waiting to raid them. Her message had been received and the team was ready for any trouble which might ensue. Marco eyed her from the bed as she gathered her clothes and prepared to shower and dress. He didn’t trust her any more, she seemed nervous and remote these days and his gut didn’t feel right; she didn’t feel right. For a long time he’d had suspicions, she seemed to be softening towards the girls under her control and he was debating whether to remove her from her role as Madam of the main whore house which she’d run so successfully. Too many things had been going wrong lately. Too many shipments had been discovered and although he had managed to remain more or less anonymous and untouchable, he knew his...

...Tabatha K. Davis Undercover Stress AIU-CRJS Date: April 10th, 2012 Instructor: David Makin Undercover Stress When working in law enforcement and undercover policing there may be a wide variety of issues that come up and have to be dealt with. To gather information about ongoing and future criminal activity as well as disrupt these activities and arrest those involved, law enforcement agencies often use undercover employees. Over the years UCEs have worked to combat organized prostitution rings, the manufacture and distribution of drugs, street gangs, outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs) and extremist groups on both the political left and right including the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, skinheads, and militant separatist groups. Undercover assignments include short-term drug "buy and bust" stings that last for no more than a few hours to deep cover, long-term investigations that keep UCEs in the field for months or years. (Fitzgerald, P. n.d.) There are massive amounts of stress to overcome during undercover work. As the UCE forms relationships with those he or she is investigating, feelings of ambivalence and guilt may ensue. UCEs may find themselves witnessing offenses committed by members of criminal organizations, a scenario that can trigger a serious moral dilemma. Should they attempt to intervene and stop the crime, or remain passive and protect their undercover identity? Another sensitive moral issue is that of UCEs having sexual relations (to gain information) with...

...Police officers can be assigned to numerous lines of work within an police department. A wide range of law enforcement duties generally require the officer to wear a uniform, representing his or her status as enforcer of laws, preventer of crime, and preserver of domestic peace. However, there is one controversial line of law enforcement that restricts the use of police a uniform. Undercover police work entails the practice of remaining in disguise during investigations of criminal activity. A police officer may assume a different identity acting as an undercover agent, as a method for gaining valuable information or evidence. Undercover work is by far the most dangerous and controversial areas of law enforcement. Nonetheless, undercover work is also one of the best investigative techniques implemented by police departments. The first plainclothes police unit was organized in France during the early 1800’s. Eugène François Vidocq has been recognized as the originator of the “Brigade de la Sûreté”, or “security brigade”. In his self-titled memoir, Vidocq explains the goals of his early undercover police network: “to procure information, to undertake searches, and to obtain particulars of every description; to make nightly rounds…to assist the commissaries of police in their searches, or in the execution of search-warrants; to explore the various rendezvous in every part; to go to the theatres, the boulevards, the barriers, and all other public places, the haunts of...

...CJA 354 Week 2 DQ 1 NEW To Buy This material Click below link http://www.uoptutors.com/CJA-354-NEW/CJA-354-Week-2-DQ-1-NEW Here are two typical undercover police operations: 1. Undercover officer approaches Able and asks where he can buy some crack cocaine. Able steers the undercover (u/c, in the biz) to Baker and says, “My man here can help you.” The u/c then asks Baker for “two.” Baker reaches to a window sill and removes two vials containing crack, hands them to the u/c who gives Baker $10. The u/c leaves the scene, radios a description of Able and Baker and watches, from a safe distance, as his back-up team swoops down and makes the arrest, recovering the rest of the “stash” by the window sill and the $10 bill in Baker’s pocket. 2. A police officer in plainclothes, lies on the floor on a subway platform, appearing drunk and asleep. He has several $20 bills sticking out of his pocket just ripe for the picking. And pick someone does. Charlie, a man with no criminal record, comes along, sees the sleeping “drunk”, bends down and takes one of the bills from the officer’s pocket. He walks away but is quickly apprehended and charged with grand larceny: taking property from the person of another (in New York, a low-level felony). Is either of these scenarios entrapment? Why or why not? What differentiates each of these examples, if anything? Compare and contrast these operations. For more Assignments visit...

...On July 19, an undercover police officer took the stand in a New York courtroom to testify against an alleged drug dealer named Fabian Joseph. Consistent with longstanding practice in New York City, the officer refused to identify himself by anything but his badge number. Inconsistent with longstanding practice in New York City, trial judge Dorothy Cropper barred the officer's testimony. Judge Cropper ruled that because the undercover officer had failed to show he was in particular danger of retaliation from the defendant for his testimony, he had to give his name. When he refused, she showed him the door. The basis for Judge Cropper's ruling was the Sixth Amendment, which guarantees the defendant the right to a "public trial" at which he will be "confronted with the witnesses against him." A "public trial" means one conducted in a courtroom that anyone can enter. And confrontation means, among other things, that the defendant has a right to cross-examine the government's witnesses - which is difficult to do if you don't know their names. These rights are not absolute, but Judge Cropper ruled that the government hadn't justified either closing the courtroom or limiting cross. The response to Judge Cropper's ruling was outrage. New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly excoriated the judge, and encouraged his officers to continue to refuse to give their names. The Manhattan D.A.'s office has decided to appeal Judge Cropper's ruling. Meanwhile, the usual suspects, lead by the...

If the undercover officers department does not come forward and assist us with this matter the following is what we are prepared to take action against. Introduction First off to have murder for hire we need to have the elements of murder and see if they had enough ground to convict on attempt to commit murder. In order to convict Mr. Assin of at least attempted murder, one must first have to prove that he was going to be the hit man first of all, and secondly they will have to prove that he was going to go out and kill sally’s husband. Definition of Conspiracy I have defined a person guilty of conspiracy as with the intent to engage or solicit in a crime be performed. Also (he/she) agrees with one or more persons to engage in or cause the performance of such acts and if any one of them commits an overt act during such conspiracy.

...anarchist group. One of the more symbolic characters of the story is Sunday. Sunday is a very intricate character and Chesterton decodes Sunday in a very spiritual way. He is portrayed in a very interesting way. Chesterton suggests ideas of that of which Sunday represents. In the book The Man Who Was Thursday, takes place in London, in the early 1900's. It stars the main character Syme. Syme is a poet who was recruited to a secret police force. The police force that he is recruited into is looking to stop an anarchy group. He gets into the organization and becomes a top member of the group. He is sworn to not tell the police about the group by a fellow poet named Gregory. The top member Sunday has organized this anarchy group and has named the top members of the group after the days of the week.

Even through everything Thursday never breaks his word and tells the police of the group. In the end he is rewarded for keeping his word and staying true., but who is Sunday?

...The novel 1984 by George Orwell brings up many ideas that seem absolutely crazy on the surface, but resemble, when looked into deeper, more similarly today’s conditions than originally thought. One of these topics is surveillance, specifically government and law enforcement surveillance. In the world today, surveillance solves crimes and keeps an eye on things in important buildings and even on some streets, making it a good thing, but too much surveillance, especially when no laws restrict it in any way, harms society in an irreversible way. The telescreens in 1984 are mega versions of security cameras, the undercover Thought Police compare to undercover police officers in their patience and tactics, and the hidden cameras and microphones equate to things such as wiretapping and using a cell phone as a listening device. These techniques, used on wide scales in both societies, differ greatly in how they are executed. In 1984, the Party uses them on everyone equally, while in today’s society, using them requires government and law enforcement officials to utilize them strictly for watching and studying possible threats. Telescreens, A huge part of the society in 1984, find themselves literally everywhere among the Party members, and anyone can be watched at any time with them. The proles have the option to install one in their house or not because, according to the Party views them as equivalent to animals. One of the Party’s slogans even states, “Proles and animals are free...

...Undercover Work and The Beginning Undercover work has been a big controversial topic in policing. Being undercover is disguising one's own identity or using an assumed identity for the purposes of gaining the trust of an individual or organization to learn secret information or to gain the trust of targeted individuals in order to gain information or evidence. Traditionally it is a technique employed by law enforcement agencies around the world and a person who works in such a role is commonly referred to as an undercover agent. Undercover has been used in many ways throughout history. The first organized undercover program was employed in France by Eugene Francois Vidocq in the early 19th century. The English set up the Special Irish Branch (later to be named just Special Branch) in 1883 and in the United States the ‘Italian’ Squad was set up in 1906 before different federal agencies started to run their own undercover programs. The controversy of undercover work begins with the risk the agent or officer has to take with doing undercover work. The two biggest risk are the roles the undercover agent plays and their return back to normal duties. Living a double life in a new environment can pose many problems. Undercover work is one of the most stressful jobs a special agent can participate or be involved in. Most of the stress comes from being away from family, friends, and the new environment that they probably aren't accustomed to. This isolation can lead...

...Neal Morris 62349 BCJ 240 Procedures in the Justice System Unit #3 Question #3: Drawing on the “Law in Society” section of your text, discuss the nature of undercover police work, its benefits and its problems. Undercover police work is used by many law enforcement agencies all over the world. Unlike the movies that we see on TV where the police are working undercover to catch the bad guy, there are many side effects and hazards that go along with the job. However some will agree that it is a necessary evil in order for law enforcement to solve many crimes. There are three major functions that involve undercover police work. Intelligence is used to covertly investigate crimes past, future, and present. An example of this would be that an officer acts as if he/she is a friend to gather information about a crime. Second is prevention which is where a person is planted in a group to discourage violent acts from being committed. Last is facilitation or encouragement which is where officers act as either a victim or co-conspirator. This function is where entrapment is most likely to occur. Kenneth Neal Morris 62349 BCJ 240 Procedures in the Justice System Unit #3 Undercover work has to be evolving with society in order for it to be effective tool for law enforcement.

Many undercover operations are of short durations, others can last for months and as the report considers here even years. These operations are vital for the gaining information about usually serious organised crimes and also to reduce terrorism. At the beginning of 2011, criminal proceedings against six people standing trial for charges related to a ‘conspiracy to sabotage a coal-fired power station’, at Nottingham Crown Court were Halted by the crown prosecution service. The material in the report primarily focuses on the work of an undercover police officer, Mark Kennedy. Kennedy had spent several years undercover among environmental and other activist groups. In the present report by the House of Commons the relationship the police played within the protest groups was investigated, one specific question was addressed for guiding the main report, what are the key issues for the police and for the public? The focus on the reports investigation was on officers that were directly involved with gathering information for the police. Undercover operations place a high risk on officers that carry them...
