In the beginning of KCLV’s program called City Beat, Nancy Byrne, or the host, gave the watchers an overview of the recent events in our Las Vegas community. The program opened the show with a new and improved way of transportation in our very own Freemont Street. On January 10th 2017, the companies Keolis and Navya came together to create the very first electric shuttle. The shuttle is “intelligent,” because it operates without an actual driver. Las Vegas is the first state to have tried this specific transportation and Mayor Goodman was one of the fifteen passengers on this bus. Shortly after the new shuttle information, Nancy briefly explained to the viewers about the Explorers program. Thanks to the department of public safety, this program …show more content…
Dr. Roland Rogers felt that the elderly citizens and mostly women are more vulnerable to being robbed and attacked not only on the streets, but also at home. Dr. Rogers has provided a self-defense class to prevent attacks on those who get clarified as “soft targets”. He highly recommends attending so one can learn how to break free from a snatcher to possibly escaping a home invasion. The last segment that Nancy spoke about was getting the attention of those who are interested in being a volunteer coach for our city’s parks and recreational team. Most people become intimidated since it’s assumed you must play sports or be an expert at it, but recreational center is stating otherwise. Their main goal is to give local kids an opportunity to learn and play the sports they are interested. All the team is asking from the volunteers is their time and patience to work with them. This is also a more fun enticing way to build community service hours as …show more content…
This program is a hands on learning environment that invites kids to see what is like to be a part of the law enforcement while still using the traditional classroom setting as well. Deputies teach students how to deal with situations using what was learned in class about laws and how to execute them properly. Because of all the various hate crimes and racial disputes going on, I feel that knowing the law no matter who you are became an essential part of life, thus making this a great program for young kids to be a part of. In conclusion, both these topics brought up real issues that are developing new ways to solve them which I agree with their
This program, also, educates the beneficiaries on the basics of the criminal justice system. The program is staffed by volunteer prosecutors, local law enforcement officers, and court officials. The Board Kids, an initiative that brings together law enforcement officers and the at-risk youth to play board games, acts as an ice-breaking event that builds a rapport between law enforcement mentor and the at-risk youth. The Real Men Read is another initiate that target young men who are at-risk of engaging in criminal activities. This initiative uses male role models to promote education and life skills training with a view of increasing future employment opportunities. In 2015, this initiative benefited 355 young men (Riverside County,
These arrests included: disorderly conduct, drug violation, runway, curfew/loitering. With the high number of African Americans arrest, they desperately need evidence-based practices that will work for them. The program will target the juveniles and their families that live in low income/poverty areas. Statistics have shown that most crimes take place in in low-income/poverty areas. Low income means that the person has a small amount of money. Poverty means that that person is
In the memoir, “Another Bullshit Night in Suck City” by Nick Flynn, drug use plays a huge role. Throughout the memoir, Flynn describes his father’s struggles with alcoholism and how it continually caused negative events in his life. Along with his father he also explains the drug use of his mother and friends. Flynn not only describes the consequences of other’s drug use, but also his own. During his memoir, Flynn continually gives drug use a negative connotation, through the actions and decisions of his characters.
The program isn’t just for the police office it also opens to citizen. Each year they posted a schedule on what training is available for officer and/or citizen to take. Some of the training provided more of an informational program for citizen that want to learn more about the department and the community. The only bad thing about this program is that all of the class will start at 8.a.m in the morning. Like college it is hard for some student to get up early in the morning to go to 8a.m classes.
By making a new resource base, this has helped the police find a more successful alternative instead of arrest. When police encounter an offender, there is the option for the officer to use discretion. Instead of offenders being detained, the police can recommend for offenders enroll in some sort of
This program received much ridicule from law enforcement professionals as it decreased, in their eyes, the versatility of their service to the community. It seemed as that in removing officers from their patrol vehicles, it would not allow them to respond quickly to other calls and better protect their patrolled communities. As they came to find, it actually gave the people in those communities a greater sense of security and pride in their home turf.
Throughout the story, Lost in the City by Edwards P. Jones there are many different ways the city influences the different characters. Lost in the City takes the reader through some difficult times of many African Americans in Washington. The different characters form bond that cannot be broken in order to handle what life throws at them. In the stories "The Girl Who Raised Pigeons" and "The First Day" the city influences the different main characters in different ways, to help them come of age.
Final Exam: Athletes should be paid When being a professional athlete it takes up majority of your time with many practices, games, watching film, traveling, etc. When becoming a professional athlete, it becomes your job and athletes are getting paid for their skills. But when a student becomes a student athlete at the collegiate level, they are not getting paid. College athletes spend more than half of their time on the field for their sports and many people believe that the student athlete should be paid for their skills. They think it is unfair to the student who is an athlete who is balancing out school and sports and have no time to get a job.
The good news is that towards this program an underlying of more programs have initiated to motivate the community. For example, not only CAPS but other departments are opening neighborhood substations to measure the effectiveness of community satisfaction. Within those programs, there’s the innovation of organizing meetings and crime prevention seminars that motivates everyone positively. On the other hand, researchers have found that in the city of chicago, communities of color most likely reports less fear of crime and better relations with the police (Nissa Rhee & Ramos Manny). Not far from reality, the programs that have been implemented, works with half of the community and the half don’t take advantage of the efforts of the police
Why do people wish to leave New York so badly? Leaving New York is full of sad goodbyes and lasting memories. It might be a forceful pulling away if someone does not want to go. The authors seem to be attempting to escape the insanity. They all have a different take on what it means to leave New York and their personal viewpoints on why they left. Whether it was for sanity, love, less hardship, or more money. Between Fitzgerald in My Lost City, Didion in Goodbye to All That, Ptacin and Strayed in Why Writers Love New York and (Then Leave It) each had the same idea which is that leaving New York is the best thing they ever did regardless of what there is to offer they found more. The city shatters one’s illusions one by one the illusions one has of the city will eventually be destroyed.
By understanding how individuals are impacted by being discriminated or exposed to the injustice of policing at a young age allows for better understanding of why this is happening. Then expand to apply intuitional changes beyond mentioned such as creating spaces for youths to talk about their views on discrimination on policing and create a sense of community within the schools allowing them to grow and continue their
The song “Secrets” by The Weeknd portrays the jealousy that men face when they date a beautiful woman. In the song, The Weeknd suggests this in the progression of events that ultimately lead back to the claim that he knows his girlfriend is cheating. In the first verse, he states that she is desired by every man and he states “And I know that you want him too” to suggest there is a reoccurring man that she cheats on him with. However, while he is accusing her of infidelity, he calls her “my love” eight times to show that he still loves her despite her actions. In the second verse, he says “you told me not to worry 'bout those guys” essentially calling her out on the many times she lied to him. The chorus is the part of the song in which he
The head, ear, eyes, nose, and throat (HEENT) are common sources of complaints seen amongst pediatric patients, particularly during the winter season, and the flu season. The common infections involving the HEENT are pharyngitis, strep throat, rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis media and externa, and conjunctivitis. The American Academy of Pediatrics (2013), has suggested the route of treatment that practitioners should elect when treating these conditions. It is suggested that no antibiotics be prescribed unless the provider is certain that the person has an infection; they recommend that no antibiotics be given to patients with clear discharge and who are afebrile (AAP, 2013). In an effort to decrease antibiotic resistance and as per the AAP (2013) recommendations, I
During my first two and a half of years at Miguel Contreras High School, I participated in the Los Angeles Police Department Cadets youth program. My involvement in the eight week training academy helped me learn how to face difficult gang and drug related situations, improve my team building skills, and express my ideas better. I was able to develop my confidence by sharing ideas with my peers and figuring out different methods on how to capture the attention of our targeted audience. In addition to the LAPD Cadets Academy, I also volunteered and tutored second and third graders at Frank Del Olmo Elementary School. With my determination to motivate the kids I decided to create an agenda that would help them even when they would get
George Orwell’s novel ‘Animal Farm’, published in 1945, has an overarching theme of power and corruption. In the novel, once certain animals were given the opportunity to control the rest of the animals of the farm, the hierarchy was twisted for the leaders’ nefarious purposes. Misery quickly ensued. The governing animals became corrupted and nasty, while the controlled population was oppressed and miserable, forced to obey the controllers whims. This novel has much relevant social commentary on issues related to discriminatory power. Orwell believed that unjust power corrupted the minds of both the oppressed and the oppressors. People that are given unjust power based on prejudicial laws begin to feel validified in their actions, and in turn transform into monsters who question nothing of the validity of these laws. On the other hand, those who these laws oppress take the brunt of cruelty in these ordinances. These individuals are brutalized by physically, and mentally - leaving it extremely difficult to fight back against these oppressive actions. It is evident that discriminatory certainly can transform everyone involved. Oppressive unjust laws based on biases very often have negative consequences on the oppressed, as well as the oppressors.
