Although the majority of these are asking for your opinion, you will be expected to support your opinion with your readings, lecture notes, and evidence.
Description
General instructions:
Responses must be double-spaced, use 12-point font (preferably Times New Roman), and have 1-inch margins.
APA in-text citations should be used (no reference page needed unless you add a resource outside of those provided in the module)
Word count is a MINIMUM of 750 words. Include the word count at the end of your submission.
Only portions of the response that are substantively related to the question will count towards the minimum word requirement. Avoid a lengthy introduction/rephrasing the question (this is not a term paper – get to the point) or the use of rhetorical questions to pad your response.
You MUST answer all the questions in the prompt.
Submit the Word document (.doc or .docx format) through Canvas. It will be scanned using TurnItIn (plagiarism detection software).
Do not self-plagiarize! If you have written on the same subject in the past, it is unfair to your peers for you to use the same responses you have used in the past. Self-plagiarism will result in a zero (0) on the assignment.
Although the majority of these are asking for your opinion, you will be expected to support your opinion with your readings, lecture notes, and evidence. These are designed to be critical thinking activities, not regurgitation of class material. This aspect of the course counts for a significant portion of your grade and you should treat these as serious writing assignments. Grading will be based on the student’s ability to 1) identify and explain the issue(s); 2) evaluate empirical evidence and conclusions; and 3) support one’s opinion. A rubric for the reflective writing assignments is available on Canvas.
Prompt #3 – Mental Health
The first two readings focus on police responding to mental health crises. The PERF article and video focus on preventing suicide by law enforcement. For this module’s prompt, I want you to consider a scenario that is a combination of both (similar to the experience of Chief McGurry in the film).
Put yourself in the role of a law enforcement officer who is concerned about another officer’s mental health, specifically concerning suicide. How would you respond with a knowledge of the PERF recommendations and CIT training if:
1) You and the officer are the same rank and are on the same shift/team?
2) You are a supervisor and the officer is a patrol officer under your command?
3) You are a patrol officer and the officer is your shift commander?
Apply real world examples from the Saved From Suicide film or personal experience (if you want – remember I am a mandatory reporter). Your answers do not have to be by the book – I want you to consider the nuances of these relationships and potential consequences honestly.
