His initial judgment is to submit a bid of $5 million. Based on his experience, he estimates that a bid of $5 million will have a 0.2 of being the highest bid and securing the property for the company. The current date is June 1. Sealed bids must be submitted by August 15. The winning bid will be announced on September 1. If the company submits the highest bid and obtain the property, it plans to build and sell a complex of luxury condominiums. However, a complicating factor is that the property is currently zoned for single-family residences only.

In these cases, where the information is less clear, the investigator may be justified to assume an ongoing danger to the life or safety of persons, and remain in the tactical investigative response mode utilizing the powers afforded under exigent circumstances to pursue the investigation until it is determined that an implied danger no longer exists. For example, consider the situation where police dispatch receives a 911 call from a woman crying. Before any further information can be obtained from the caller, the call is terminated from the caller’s end. A patrol unit is dispatched to attend the residential address associated with the identified phone number. Upon arrival at the front door of the caller’s address, attending officers are met by a male resident of the home who identifies himself as the home owner. The attending officers advise the male that a terminated 911 call from a…arrow_forward
