Cyber security policy compliance is essential for all organizations. Many companies do not even have policies established. The following article provides a template for an internal cybersecurity policy (Links to an external site.).

It’s one thing to have these policies documented, it’s another for them to be strictly enforced. I worked for a company that had a policy where the security team would patrol the workspaces and, if they spotted an unattended and unlocked computer, they would send an embarrassing email to the entire company from that workers computer.

UNH works to prevent phishing attacks by sending out fake emails to test the faculty and administrations willingness to fall for scams. If one of us takes the bait and clicks the link, we are directed to a page that admonishes us and provides additional training on how to spot phishing scams.

Can you think of any additional creative ways to ensure that your employees are not introducing security risks?

Shifting gears from the electronic evidence collection by criminal investigators to evidence creation, consider the challenges and divergent opinions within policing regarding body worn cameras.

Recent police involved shootings have again raised a number of issues regarding police department policy regarding body worn cameras. Inextricably linked to the wear or not wear debate is the issue regarding when and whether information captured by body cameras can and/or should be released to the public.

For purpose of this discussion, assume that state law and/or local police department policy requires all police departments to wear body recorders, and that some state freedom of information laws are generally unclear relative to the retention and release of footage from body worn recorders.

1.What is your overall assessment of the advantages and disadvantages to police departments with respect to the evidence value of footage from body worn cameras?

2. Should footage from body worn cameras be release to the general public? If so, why so; if not. why not?

Community Action Proposal Instructions

Imagine that you, and a few others who have a passion for community awareness and intervention, have been given a 4 million dollar grant to establish a program, center, or organization. This assignment can be a proposal for a marginalized population within your community whose mental health needs have been overlooked or ignored by service providers. The proposal can take the shape of a “Community Action Plan” that you and an interest group would present to the county commissioner or city council, or it can take the shape of a “Proposal for The _______ Center”, in which you describe the population, current issues, needed services, a proposed program, a rationale, a budget, etc. for potential consideration by an interest group, committee, or funding organization.

This must be a 12-15 page paper in current APA format with 12 sources. You must incorporate the June & Black and the Scott & Wolfe texts in substantial and meaningful ways and draw on recent journal articles, particularly for the needs analysis, assessment, and program objectives. A minority of your sources may be professional sources that shed light on the issues at hand. Include the following content, using the bold outline headings below as your paper headings, substituting your program/center/organization where appropriate:

1Name of your organization and proposed location. Why did you name it as such and establish it where you did?

2Write a purpose, vision, or mission statement. Follow best practices for a concise and well-articulated statement. Justify and explain as needed.

3 Needs analysis and assessment. Who is the target population? How will this organization address the presenting problem? This section must be thorough and supported by research.

4 Program goal and objectives. What will this organization achieve long-term and short-term? Articulate an overall goal and 3-5 measurable, time-specific, realistic objectives.

5 Services to be provided. Describe how this organization help, relieve, provide, etc. for the targeted population.

6 Structure of the organization. Describe processes for client screening, other relevant organizational functions, and staffing (counselors, social workers, volunteers, administrative staff).

7 Organizational accountability. What type of testing or assessment of the target population will be conducted? (e.g. Global Assessment Functioning, GAF). Describe how documentation for trustees/directors/financial providers and record keeping for clients will be handled.

8 Budget. Delineate how the $4 million grant will be spent. End with a closing paragraph in which you also address sustainability, i.e. how the organization will survive once the money has been spent.
