PowerPoint Training Presentation Instructions

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation wherein you will design an interagency interdisciplinary course of instruction. Design the presentation for entry level first responder employees who would not be very familiar with homeland security and emergency management issues. You must provide an overview of homeland security. This should entail enabling policies and legislation. At the minimum the NRF, NIMS, ICS, NIPP, etc. will be briefly covered. Next, cover, at the minimum, the following topics: prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Within prevention and mitigation, discuss threat and vulnerability assessments along with structural and non-structural mitigation strategies. Within preparedness, you must discuss exercises, training, equipping, typing, capability and capacity evaluation, and sheltering issues. Within response, discuss ICS. Within recovery, you must discuss redundancy, resiliency, continuity of operations planning, and contingency planning. Program evaluations and policy issues will be covered. You must also discuss how intelligence and information sharing plays a role. Finally, you must apply biblical insight into the overall issue. The presentation must include at least 5 scholarly sources (which may include the class textbooks and the Bible). 

You will use PowerPoint (PPT) Mix, which may be turned into a Windows Media Video (WMV), to present and record your information. A minimum of 20 content slides are required not including the cover and reference slides. Use the same headings as listed previously in these instructions. The presentation needs to be at least 15 minutes long and should last no more than 30 minutes maximum. References will be included on the last slide. Once submitted for grading, email your PPT video to the rest of the class for their review. You do not have to show yourself in the video unless you wish to do so.

Policy Issue and Solution Instructions  

You will write a 1215-page research-oriented paper. The paper must focus on policy analysis in policing. The paper must also be in current APA format. The APA headers, as a minimum, must be APA Level 1 headings for Problem, Significance, and Solution. The subthemes of the solution section must contain APA Level 2 headings or beyond. The paper must include a minimum of 12 references in addition to the class textbooks and the Bible. All references must be academic/peer reviewed sources. A minimum of 8 references must be recent peer reviewed sources published within the last five years.  

You must choose a major criminal justice policy issue (excluding death penalty, legalization of marijuana, gun control, and any other topic deemed not acceptable by your instructor). The approach outlined below can be used for minor policy issues, major policy issues, minor budget issues, major budget issues, equipment implementation, and any issue dealing with a policy proposal.

You are writing from the point of view as an advisor for the chief of police, sheriff, or federal department head. 

 Identify an issue that needs to be addressed. 

 Discuss the problem in a few brief paragraphs. 

 Discuss the significance of the problem (the significance discussion must contain the majority of your references). The significance section of the paper must contain why the issue is significant, what is being done by other departments or agencies, what law is applicable, and any other issues that can be identified as significant. This significance section of the paper must be thorough and leave no additional questions.

 Propose a solution in the form of policy or guidance toward a policy. The solution must involve a minimum of 3 choices: do nothing, incremental approach, and full implementation. The solution section of the paper must have enough of an explanation of the solution so that an executive would be able to make an informed decision from your explanation. The solution must also have sub-themes. Some subthemes are: impact to department, impact to external stakeholders, and impact to budget. There may be other sub-themes in addition to or in replacement of those listed above. 

 Must have a section relating how a Christian worldview does or may change potential proposed solutions. This must be a section and not merely a sentence or two.

Before beginning work on this week’s discussion forum, please review the link “,” the expanded grading rubric for the forum and any specific instructions for this week’s topic.

By the due date assigned, submit your answers for two scenarios  to this Discussion Area.  Start reviewing and responding to your classmates as early in the week as possible.  You should review and critique the work of other students as outlined in the expanded rubric by the end of the week.

Select two of the scenarios listed below and explain the best solution for each.  Include comments related to any ethical issues that arise.  You should locate at least one scholarly source from the SUO Library or one case that has been decided or is currently pending to support your answer.

Scenario 1 –   Third Party Rights

Bobby was attending college two hundred miles from his home for the fall semester. Bobbys wealthy  aunt, Brenda, decides to give Bobby a car for Christmas. In November, Brenda makes a contract with Walker Ford to purchase a new car for $21,800 to be delivered to Bobby just before the Christmas holidays, in mid- December. The title to the car is to be in Bobbys name. Brenda pays the full purchase price, calls Bobby and tells him about the gift, and takes off for a three-month vacation in Mexico.

• Is Bobby an intended third party beneficiary of the contract between Brenda and Walker Ford?
• Suppose that Walker Ford never delivers the car to Bobby. Does Bobby have the right to sue Walker Ford for breaching its contract with Brenda? Explain.

Scenario 2 –   Statute of Frauds

Kathy agreed to purchase specially made cartons for one-of a kind wood sculptures from Pierce Packaging.  Pierce faxed an invoice to Kathy reflecting a purchase price of $35,000, with a 20 percent down payment and the balance due before shipment. Kathy paid the down payment. Pierce finished the cartons and wrote Kathy a letter telling her to pay the balance due or you will lose the down payment. By then, Kathy had lost her customers for the cartons, could not pay the balance due, and asked for the return of her down payment. 

• Did these parties have an enforceable contract under the Statute of Frauds? Explain.

Scenario 3  Breach and Remedies

Candace Dixon agreed to sell Alana Mendes a house in Alabama for $205,000. The sale was supposed to close by November  30, when the parties were to exchange the deed for the price. The contract included a provision that if Seller is unable to convey good, clear, insurable, and marketable title, Buyer shall have the option to:

1. accept such title as Seller is able to convey without reduction of the Purchase Price, or
2. cancel this Agreement and receive a return of all Deposits.

An examination of the public records revealed that the house did not have marketable title. Mendes offered Dixon additional time to resolve the problem, and the closing did not occur as scheduled. Dixon decided the deal is over and offered to return the deposit. Mendes refused and, in mid-December, decided to exercise her option to accept the house without marketable title. She notified Dixon, who did not respond. She then filed a lawsuit against Dixon in a state court.

• Discuss whether Dixon breached the contract and decide in whose favor the court should rule.
• Assume that Dixon breached the contract and determine what the appropriate remedy is in this situation.

Scenario 4 Third Parties

Ronny enters into a contract with Sean to paint Seans house.   Ronny paints Seans house an extremely hideous orange and blue even though Sean specified tan. Sean and his neighbor Chris are both fans of the Florida Seminoles and are furious to see the house painted in Florida Gator colors .  Sean and Chris threaten to sue Ronny. 

• Evaluate the arguments each party will make, determine the outcome and support your answer with appropriate sources.
