1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
For my 30 hours of mentorship I plan to go to a shooting range with me mentor and learn how to shoot. He is a detective sergeant for LASD and he said he is trying to arrange shooting at the training center that detectives are sent to when first hired onto the department. Not only will I be learning how to shoot but I will learn how to handle a gun, I will be learning how to use it during several different scenarios. In addition, I plan on going on a ride along for an 8-hour shift.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
For the shooting aspect of my independent component I plan to make a small scrapbook/portfolio filled with pictures, a bullet or two, printed certificate, and other things I may come across while on that venture. For the ride along I plan to bring in my copies of my authorization forms and hopefully a police report of a call I will respond to while on the ride along. Both of theses, of course, are in addition to adding the hours onto my Senior Project Hours Log.
3. Explain how what you will be doing will explore your topic more in depth.
I feel that by learning how to shoot and going to the training center would teach me how things are done first-hand and what this career requires. It would also teach me what newly hired agents are taught and a piece of the training they're put through. It would give me the state of mind needed when working the field. The ride along would do something similar however it would expose me to what happens when under pressure and when I'm actually in the situation live. Since I plan to do my ride along after learning how to shoot, I'm thinking it would give me an opportunity to adapt what I've learned to real life scenarios (to a certain extent of course).
