Position Paper on Video Final Call
Introduction
Crime occurs in the society every time and as a result, people end up being killed or hurt in the long run. It is important for law enforcing agencies to ensure that crime is prevented and stopped for people to feel safe within their surroundings. In most cases, individuals make phone calls to 911 whenever they feel insecure and at risk. Resultantly, rapid response teams are always deployed as fast as possible to ensure that the individual is protected from danger. The discussion looks at the analysis of crime 360 final call s1 e4, looking at the procedures followed by the law enforcing agencies, how the incident affected the police who responded to the crime scene and how the video affects me in general.
The distress call receiver determined the location of the crime scene through the phone call. Through the 911 call, the police are able to identify the location of the scene and the seriousness of the situation for them to be able to identify the right troops to send to the scene. It is important to identify the crime scene location through the phone call since verified direction makes it easy for the police to reach the location of crime faster. After receiving a distress call, the police were aware that the incident involved shooting and thus there was need to be armed.
The troops arrived at the crime scene and the next procedures that were conducted were forensic tests to identify the type of weapon that was used by the criminal. The tests are important since they help in identifying the weapon that was used which can be traced back to the manufacturer or the seller. Additionally, the tests help find the fingerprints that could be possibly left by the shooter. A team of detectives then proceeded to interview the neighbors to find out if there is a possibility that they saw the shooter and describe the criminal.
The police detectives then went ahead to identify key suspects and witnesses in connection to the murder. After identifying the suspects, the detectives conducted interviews with the suspects and witnesses. Afterwards, the police looked for other parties that could be associated with the key suspect who had outstanding warrants of arrest. The procedure is important in finding out whether there are still other threats that exist in the public that can cause harm to the people. The detectives are thus able to identify new suspects who can be apprehended for questioning. The procedures are thus important in helping the criminals and further stopping similar incidents from occurring. For example, if there were multiple homicides caused by a number of serial killers, it will be easy to identify the serial killer network and stop them from committing similar crimes. The procedures use all the leads available to detect any evidence linking to the suspects or witnesses.
How the Video Affected Me Personally
After watching the video, I found that it was easy for criminals to execute their plans fast enough before the police arrives to assist. I therefore realized it is important for a person to be able to identify mechanisms that can be used for self-defense against criminals. For example, the killer shot the victims multiple times. The victim was unable to survive the wounds since most of them were on the head. However, if the victim had ways to defend himself during the confrontation, he would have saved time that would allow the police to arrive and assist in the situation. It is important that individuals stay vigilant in case of such incidents which might occur within their surroundings.
The video helped me understand the importance of knowing the type of neighbors a person has since they can be the main threat. Additionally, people need to report incidents where they feel insecure of other people who could be friends, family or neighbors. The video showed that the murder was brutal which reflects that the killer had enough time to plan for the murder for a given period. People need to know ways in which they can identify situations that could lead to such problems such as debts, inter-personal feuds, among other problems.
How the Police were affected by the Case
The police were affected by the case directly as they handled the case from the beginning where the victim made a call to the station. The police wondered why a person would kill another person brutally. As a result, the police were prompted to conduct an investigation to identify where the problem lied. The police were thus motivated to stop the criminal since the degree of the incident showed the brutality of the criminal and it was important to ensure that the criminal is arrested. Additionally, through the call and the forensic evidence found at the crime scene, the police were able to know that there could be a number of such criminals in the area who could still harm other people and there was need to stop their activities.
Crime has become part of the daily lives of people in the society. Finding solutions and ways to stop crime in the society is important. The police and other security departments are determined at stopping crime in every possible way. From the video, the police are highly affected by the incident and are determined to find the perpetrators. The video thus shows the viewers the importance of staying vigilant to prevent cases of crime that is likely to harm other people.
