LS Coinciding: A Case Study

The use of the thermal imaging in this case was used to search a home interior for illegal contraband that wouldn 't be known without this tool.

The primary goal of this laboratory is to correctly identify an unknown substance. To achieve this task, one may use various tests that reveal both chemical and physical properties of a substance. By comparing the results of a known substance and the unknown substance, one may eliminate alternative possibilities and more accurately predict the undisclosed compound. Furthermore, by performing these tests, data can be collected and verified regarding chemical and physical properties of the unknown. Understanding the chemical properties of a known substance aids one’s understanding of the unknown based on comparative analysis of the results of the tests.

The purpose of this lab is to test substances and to determine the physical and chemical properties of substances.

Over the years, drug-law enforcement agents have often developed “drug courier profiles” to help them identify potential drug smugglers. In United States v. Sokolow

Found on Celebrity Airlines Flight 82181 were a number of substances brought on by passengers. Given that the crash was ruled a terrorist attack, identification of all substances found on and in the bodies and luggages of the victims needed to be made. To do this, empirical and molecular formulas were put into use when determining substance identities. Each substance was tested to find the percent composition of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, and then used to find the empirical formula of the substance by using 100 grams of each substance to represent 100% made up by the elements combined. The mass of each element in the substance calculated from the percent was then divided by the molar mass of that

Customs, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the California Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement… have complained that investigations were hampered by the CIA or unnamed “national security” interests.”

Purpose: To use indicators to test for the presence of organic compounds in certain substances.

The objective of this lab was to use qualitative and quantitative measurements and observations to properly identify, and then confirm the identity of an unknown compound. After identification, the compound would have to be synthesized, in our case, through an acid-base reaction, followed by confirming its identity with the original unknown compound.

On 1/3/2017, in Durango 3 multipurpose room located at 3225 W Gibson Lane Phoenix AZ 85009 at around 1430 hours, I opened two envelopes marked legal in the presence of the addressed Inmates. In the envelope for Inmate Hernandez, Jacob T237725 3 small bags filled with a white powdery substance were discovered. In the envelope for Inmate Reiley, Tristan T312523 cigarette rolling papers and matches were found.

What role will immigrants have in the future of American crime? Unlike the past and the present, it is difficult to determine exactly what sort of role immigrants will play in the future. According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2010) “The next half century marks key points in continuing trends — the U.S. will become a plurality nation, where the non-Hispanic white population remains the largest single group, but no group is in the majority” (p. 11). Estolano LeSar Perez, a researcher with Los Angeles 2050, says this could have a real impact on something that preoccupies many Americans: crime.

The multiple agencies have to balance which items they will look at closer, at which point during the entry process, and which items do not pose a threat based on the information that they have. Andreas (2009), gave a good example of what would happen from a senior customs official. If we inspected every truck coming from Mexico for drugs, the line will be over 1,100 miles in about two weeks.

I having worked in the Newark Police department have conducted many arrest in which I have confiscated numerous amounts of

On March 27, 2012, at approximately 12:06AM, Valley, Nebraska K-9 Police Officer Morgan Struble observed a vehicle “Fail to Maintain a Single Lane.” Officer Struble stopped the vehicle and made contact with the Driver; Denny Rodriguez and passenger Scott Pollman. When Officer Struble approached the vehicle he detected the strong odor of air freshener from the vehicle and from his training and experience he knew that the use of air freshener was one way people used to hide the odor of drugs.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (U.S. CBP) is one of the oldest law enforcement entities in the U.S., and has a rich history of protecting our borders. A historical overview and understanding of the U.S. Customs origins displays how over the centuries the strategic mission of the CBP has evolved to combat threats of specific time eras. U.S. Customs has grown from collecting of revenue during the 1800s to fighting the War on Drugs, and well into the 21st century where combating terrorism would be yet another mission undertaken by CBP. Without a doubt, the U.S. Customs Service has played an active role in the protection of the nation’s borders against terrorism, criminal drug lords, and even the violation of intellectual property theft.

Li & Fung is an export trading company from Southern China that was founded back in 1906 by Fung Pak-Liu and his partner Li To-Ming. Li & Fung grew from a traditional export trading company to global supply chain management company it is today. After the passing of Liu, To-Ming decided to sell his shares. After both graduating from Harvard, Fung’s sons, Victor and William took over the company in 1974 and moved it to Hong Kong.
