Blog 16: Independent Component 2 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

1) Since my essential question is focusing around community relations, I will be using my explorer program as a way to do my hours. An example would be me helping out at city events with kid prints. By doing this I would be building a positive relation between Law Enforcement and the community.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

2) I will be going on ride along, helping out the city, and helping with in the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff Station Explorer Program.

3.  Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.

3) By doing this I will be putting myself inside the workplace of a deputy and I will be able to see what actions I can do to improve relations with the community.

Lesson 2 Reflection

1. I am most proud of the quality of my lesson. I feel like I really taught the class about my subject in law enforcement.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

             P          

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
            I believe I deserve this grade because of my quality of the lesson. I also had my EQ up on the      board. Another reason was because I believe that I also passed the mark with dressing professionally.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
    I feel that my activity worked really well during my Lesson 2 presentation.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
    I think what didn't work was just the beginning of my activity. I probably would have gotten rid of just that section.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
     My answer two can be what happens during a community meeting.

Blog 14: Third Interview Preparation- How can a Deputy encourage positive community relations?

1. I plan on interviewing three candidates. My first candidate will be my mentor, Deputy Mrad. My second candidate will be Deputy Denver. My last candidate will Deputy Scheller. All three deputies have very close relations to the community and all three encourage positive interaction in different ways.

2. At the current moment I have received the contact information to two new sources which are Deputy Denver and Deputy Scheller. I plan on contacting them and having an interview before the end of the month.
3. What do you believe is the most effective way to communicate to the community?

4. What is an example of positive community relations that can be preformed anywhere? 
5. How has the community relations changed over time with law enforcement?
    What, if any, is a growing issue to overcome with the relations between the community and law enforcement.

Blog 13: 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In

1. My mentorship is at the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff Station.

2. My contact is Deputy Mrad. Deputy Mrad started in 1988. He joined the Compton Police Department and went to the academy, Rio Honda Academy. Upon completion of the academy he had a training officer for six months. After completing his patrol training he worked patrol for about a year and a half and then I was asked to become a undercover narcotics officer. He became an undercover police officer. He worked narcotics for about six months in an undercover capacity and after six months he returned to patrol. He worked patrol for maybe about another year and tested for motor officer. He became a motor officer for a few months. Due to budget cuts he had to come off motors and go back to patrol. At this time he tested for K9 and became a K9 handler for 92 until 2000. In around 95 to 98, the police department formed their first SWAT team and he became part of that time as a K9 handler, because every SWAT team has a K9. So they sent him to K9 SWAT School and became part of that team until 2000. As soon as the sheriff’s department took over, he went to Carson station for about six months and ended up returning to Compton and working there as a Deputy Sheriff for about a year. He transferred over to Industry station and he was there for about a 2 year and he became a training officer and I transferred to Walnut to where he is currently assigned as a training officer. He trains several full time deputies and reserved deputies and became a full time FTO, Field Training Officer.

3. I've done more then 115 plus hours of mentorship

4 .I help with the training of explorers and prepare recruits for the pre academy for the explorer program. I also help with the color guard for the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff Station. Another thing I do is go on ride alongs to get hands on training and experience on what a Deputy does.

Blog 12: Holiday Project Update

1. Over brake, I spent time with the explorer program. We are recently preparing to train another class of applicants to be recruits and soon explorers.

2. An important thing that I learned was getting back into the basic ideas. Since I am helping to train another class of explorers, we train them to the basics of what a Sheriff academy might be like.

3. I plan on talking about how much opportunities that are available. What I want to go in depth in my interview is how can you travel to different  stations or apply to different fields.

Blog 11 : Lesson 1 Reflection

1. I am most proud of how confident I felt during my presentation. I am proud of this because I felt less stress during the lesson.

2. I would give myself a P because I made the time and I also gave in depth information on my topic. I would also keep in mind that my EQ needs to be redone.

3. I would get better visuals for my audience. I would also maybe give my audience more time for my hook so they can feel more interactive with my lesson.

Blog 10 - Interview 2 Reflection

1. The way I am spending my mentorship are through ride along and training hours. We either are at the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff Station or out on the streets catching criminals or giving tickets. I am also shadowing during this time because I am getting hands on education on what happens during patrol. I get this education by learning how to work the mobile computer in the car or see how to fill out a ticket.

2. I found my mentor at the Walnut Sheriff Explorer Program. It wasn't hard to convince Deputy Mrad since he is always willing to help out kids and teens.

3. I am comfortable with my mentor but I still do not let that get to my head and I show respect. At this point I am greatly happy, Deputy Mrad said yes to being my mentor. This relates to the time I've spent because it makes the whole experience of the mentorship unforgettable.

4. I think the dialogue between me and Deputy Mrad went extremely well. I think this because his responses were meaning full and I know that anyone who hears the recording can say the same thing. What I am going to improve on will be getting open ended questions. I believe by during this, it will open up doors for me to go out and get surveys.
