Police writing is different in some important ways from the writing you may have done in high school and college. You still need many of the usage and writing skills you learned in school, but you also need to master the special requirements of police reports.
You've probably spent a lot of time learning how to write police reports. Why not take a look at what NOT to do when you write a report? This PowerPoint reviews basic principles officers need to think about when writing reports.
Police officers often need to document "probable cause" in their reports - justification for taking action such as making a traffic stop, performing a search, or initiating some other action. This video will help you understand what probable cause is, why it's so important, and how you can incorporate it into your police reports.
You can write reports more confidently and efficiently when you recognize that there are four basic types of reports. Learning their special characteristics and requirements of each type makes the writing process much easier.
Although police reports seem different from one another, most of them fall into just four types. That's the good news. Even better: Each types builds on the previous one. Learn how to recognize - and write - the four types of police reports in this short video. You can download a free chart to go with this PowerPoint at www.YourPoliceWrite.com.
Police officers need to know how to incorporate objectivity into their police reports. This PowerPoint covers the do's (stick to observable facts) and don'ts (writing down your thoughts, reasoning, and conclusions).
Examines the myths surrounding the conviction of innocent people for crimes they did not commit, and suggests ways to protect yourself and your family from becoming victims of a broken justice system.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empireâs society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as âdistorted thinkingâ.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
3. Criminal justice reports often record word-for-
word what a witness or suspect said.
Getting these statements right is an important
skillâand one thatâs easy to learn.
4. Here are some important guidelines:
ï Use exact words even if youâll have to
write down some objectionable
language (obscenities, sexism, slang,
bad grammar)
ï Use the correct punctuation
ï Avoid unnecessary repetition
5. Getting the words exactly right matters
becauseâŠ
ï a suspectâs or witnessâs words can help
build the case for a conviction
ï investigators can study a suspectâs
speech patterns and word choices for
clues, especially if a suspect has
distinctive verbal habits
6. Getting the punctuation right matters
becauseâŠ
ï your report will look professional
ï youâll avoid confusion about who said
what
7. In American punctuation, commas and periods
always go inside (before) quotation marks:
âI never laid a hand on my daughter,â Roker told
me. CORRECT
âI never laid a hand on my daughterâ, Roker told
me. INCORRECT
8. Here are two more examples:
ï Hassan told me, âI can prove I was at
work that evening.â CORRECT
ï Hassan told me, âI can prove I was at
work that eveningâ. INCORRECT
9. Remember: In the U.S., commas and periods
always go inside (before) quotation marks.
There are no exceptions.
Canada and the United Kingdom use a different
system. When youâre on American soil, use
American punctuation.
10. When youâre not writing a personâs exact words,
omit the quotation marks.
Donna Johnson said that Ted Carver had been
stalking her daughter. CORRECT (not Donnaâs
exact words)
Donna Johnson said, âTed Carver has been
stalking my daughter.â CORRECT (Donnaâs exact
words)
11. Avoid unnecessary repetition when youâre
recording a personâs exact words.
Hereâs an example of unnecessary repetition:
I asked Guttmann what happened. He said he and Knapp
had argued about some tools that Knapp had borrowed. I
asked Gutmann what happened next. He said Knapp
punched him in the face. I asked Gutmann what he did in
response. He said he hit Knapp on the side of the head. I
asked Guttmann if he called the police. He said yes, he
called 911.
12. Hereâs the conversation again, without the
repetition:
I asked Guttmann what happened.
He said he and Knapp had argued
about some tools that Knapp had
borrowed. Knapp punched him in
the face, and Gutmann hit Knapp
on the side of the head. Guttmann
called 911.
13. Remembering and accurately recording a
personâs exact words is an important law
enforcement skill.
You can increase your ability to recall exactly
what people say. Everyday life offers many
opportunities to improve your capacity for
concentration and recall: conversations,
meetings, and TV and radio broadcasts are
good examples.
