Introduction
For the organization you selected in Module 1: Case Study Milestone 1, identify the necessary compliance and regulatory mandates that apply to the selected industry of the organization. To complete the assignment, provide the following information for each regulatory measure:
List the measure (such as Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)); if the measure is an acronym, write it out and include the acronym.
Briefly provide the basics of what the measure is (this should be several sentences or bullets). This is not a paper, it is a succinct listing of each regulatory measure including name, abbreviation, and the specific details of how it applies to your selected business and industry.
Add as many regulatory measures as is necessary to cover all regulatory and compliance issues for your business. There must be at least four (4) measures for each business.

An incident commander coordinates teams of individuals with varying specializations and serves as a central point of contact for the network management of agencies and emergency responders during disasters.
The tragedies in the U.S. on September 11, 2001, were unprecedented and challenged emergency responders in New York City and at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, as they worked to provide around-the-clock recovery assistance following the deadly attacks. Emergency responders from across the country and from around the world responded to assist, and a valuable lesson learned was that no single organization existed in the U.S. to provide policy, standards, and centralized ways for emergency service organizations to communicate. The Department of Homeland Security was established to provide a federal-level organization with policy, oversight, and training responsibilities for the Nation. With the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security, there has been significant growth in the emergency management field, including the efficacy of emergency network management.
With this growth, comprehensive policies and processes are needed to allow organizations to effectively plan, administer, and respond to emergencies and events. These policies and processes must be evaluated regularly to determine if changes are needed to improve the management of emergency situations. Theories based on research can help emergency management practitioners better understand a problem, develop new ideas to approach it, and shape policy in various areas to address it.
ScenarioYour city routinely handles a large event that requires support from state and federal organizations. An audit of the emergency network management of the event has disclosed gaps in the ways that the different organizations involved communicate with each other, which has affected the efficacy of their responses during incidents. Specifically, there is a perception that state and federal organizations have been more concerned about their authority and hierarchical standing than with collaborating to reach common goals with city and local professionals. Leaders in your organization have asked for your recommendation on how to improve interagency collaboration in this scenario using models of communication based on scholarly theories.
PreparationSelect a large event in your area to use as an example scenario for this assessment, such as a sporting event, performance, festival, parade, fair, trade show, conference, race or marathon, holiday celebration, or another themed gathering that requires a network of communications for emergency purposes.
Select two theories of interagency collaboration that could be applied to managing the emergency communication network in the selected scenario. Research the collaboration models proposed by each theory.
Assessment DeliverableUsing evidence-based theories, write an 875- to 1,050-word executive summary of interagency collaboration models as if you were assisting an incident commander at an agency where you need to communicate your ideas about network management with the executive leaders of the city’s emergency response team.
Include the following information with supportive evidence from your research:
Summarize 2 interagency collaboration theories that could be applied to managing the emergency communication network in the selected scenario. Explain how each theory is appropriate for the scenario. Identify similarities and differences between the 2 theories or their advantages and disadvantages. Identify the theory that you recommend as most appropriate for improving communication in this scenario. Based on the elements of the theory, explain how interagency relationships between city, state, and federal organizations in this scenario can become more effective by using the recommended model of collaboration for emergency management.
Cite at least 2 scholarly sources according to APA guidelines.

There are different actors in the courtroom, and each has a specific role in how a trial or session will progress. There are also differences between the federal and state courts that are important to understand. In this assignment, you outline details about the actors in the courtroom and federal and state courts. This assignment is meant to help you understand the courts and prepare you to participate in the courtroom process. Imagine you are a court administrator for the local superior court. You have been asked to speak to a high school civics class. Specifically, the teacher would like you to provide a general overview of federal and state courts and discuss the primary actors in each court system. Create an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation in which you: Identify actors in the courtroom. Who are the actors in federal courts and state courts? (Include actors the 2 courts have in common and any actors who are different.) What are their responsibilities? Why is it important for these responsibilities to be fulfilled adequately? (Consider the effect of overzealousness compared to the effect of underperformance.) Identify what is different between these actors in federal courts from the same actors in the state courts. Judges Defense attorneys Prosecutors Juries Contrast federal and state (your state or the state you’re from) courts (consider creating a diagram/chart/table). Structure Jurisdiction Roles of each court Case types Include detailed speaker notes. These speaker notes are what you would say if you were to give this presentation in person. Include at least 1 illustration in your slides, such as a chart, diagram, table, and so on. Cite a minimum of 2 sources (1 source for state courts and 1 source for federal courts).

View the video, Militarization of U.S. Police? [Video] (https://youtu.be/NQAOfNXwAGA) In the past decade or so, we have seen what is known as the “militarization of police.” What this means is that police agencies have been given old military equipment such as armored vehicles, uniforms, and the like to better address violent situations.
What are your thoughts on this? In your opinion, does the militarization of police better help police address violent situations? Or is it a threat to the public when they respond to protests and the like with this equipment? Why or why not?
