Tasks Step

1: Read Chapter 3: Legal Issues and Chapter 4: Police Strategies in Police & Society 8th Ed Kenneth Kovak. Next, view the video this week. This video from California POST introduces you to a standards and training program for California Peace Officers. Over the weeks you will review more videos from this support agency. Think about the role they will play in shaping the law enforcement officers, and police strategies in our state. Finally, review the links to the Policing Resources module in Canvas. Feel free to use (and cite) the information you find on these sites for your discussion. Step 2: Complete the following tasks (Post the answers to this step as soon as possible)

Three questions: Write three questions the assigned readings sparked for you (or left you with). Make sure to write these in the form of questions because another student will try to answer them. Ensure you include a citation at the end of the question indicating which reading(s) these questions were inspired from.

Three reactions: Write three reactions you have to the subjects/contents of the module readings (not the assignment itself). Remember, do not summarize; instead, respond. Write in complete sentences and avoid slang. Use in-text citations when referencing a specific reading. For example, "In Novak et al (2020), I was surprised to find out that..."

Three connections: Make three connections between the readings this week. Write in complete sentences and use in-text citations so the reader can know which reading you are referring to.
