Summary: With the recent resignation of Police Chief Charles Johnson, the city of Dover has received 53 applications for the vacant position. To sort through the applicants a four step process has been implemented. They include screening respondents, a review board in which the candidates will be interviewed and subsequently ranked, interview with City Manager Spanning and finally a meeting with the city council. It is upon the appointment of City Manager Will Spanning and the confirmation of the seven member city council that the position will be filled. Moreover, if a candidate is appointed by the Mr. Spanning and not approved by the council, the process will start all over again.
The city of Dover must also recognize the politics that go along with this type of vacancy. A number of outside players, including but not limited to O’Hara Transport, would like to see particular candidates appointed in order for personal gain, rather than public. The following is an overview of the four candidates.
· Chip Durning: As Chief Deputy of the a large sheriff’s department, Mr. Durning has twelve years of law enforcement experience, coupled with a degree in psychology, and extensive training credits.
· Tom Boyd: Like Durning, Boyd has risen to the rank of deputy chief. Mr. Boyd has eleven years of law enforcement, received a degree in criminal justice and attended a number of law enforcement training sessions. Moreover, Mr. Boyd has worked in a previous situation similar to that of Dover’s.
· Sam Warren: As a retired lieutenant of the Boston police department, Warren also offers a master’s degree in public administration. Mr. Warren has possesses a number of recommendations from senior management of the Boston police department.
· Jim Waterhouse: As a local candidate, Mr. Waterhouse as only reached the status of rural patrol officer within Dover. However, he does have the most knowledge of our local system and its problems. One must also recognize his connections to members of city council and O’Hara Transport.
Findings & Recommendations: As in the case of the O’Hara Transport company, it is not the city’s place to mind the personal interest of some over that of the public good.
Organisms are limited by the structure of their bodies. Some creatures are capable to do great things because of the number of limbs they have, or the density of their skin. Humans in particular are extremely reliant in the capabilities that our bodies bring to us. Our bodies however, are not all dependable, as we can injure ourselves, and even lose parts of our body. To combat this loss of body, the great minds of our species have created false limbs to replace what we have lost. This great improvement to our lives is known as, the prosthetic. In recent years this technology has expanded into a new form, that combines prosthetics and robotics to make life for people
Along the way, Vollmer was asked to conduct reviews of various police departments for which he tool leave. In 1923 he was asked to lead the Los Angeles Police Department for one year. Then in 1929, the University of Chicago hired him to be a professor of police administration in their public administra...
Earth, an endless source of wonder and beauty, produced the Great Barrier Reef. Hustling and bustling, the Reef thrives like a busy city, teeming with life. Sheltering thousands, corals, maintain the well-being of the Reef; however, the world threatens its nature and delicacy. Populations growing and technological advances increasing, the world becomes more and more disconnected with the natural world, posing an alarming risk for the planet we live on. Although many organizations try to keep the oceans clean, because of human interference and unnatural occurrences, the Great Barrier Reef needs scientific help to adapt corals to new conditions for means of survival, putting pressure on the Australian government to save their ocean environment.
Bill Cosby is a well-known actor, comedian, writer and producer that was born on July 12, 1937. Cosby is originated from Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. He is well known mostly for the good things that he did for television and society, but also well known for some terrifying actions towards several women.

(Bill’s father) started drinking very heavily and finished up enlisting for the U.S Navy leaving Bill as the head of the family. Money being tied after his father has gone to the Navy, they had to move houses to the Richard Allen Homes (low-income housing part of the city) (Bibliography.com, 2017).
Around the world, their are beautiful places called “the seven wonders of the natural world”. These sites are fantastic because of there fascinating views and the fact that they were naturally made, not by humans. One of these seven natural wonders of the natural world is the Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The Great Barrier Reef was formed by corals growing on submerged islands. The sea level then continued to rise, “leading to more corals growing and forming.” (Zimmerman). The Great Barrier Reef is “a mosaic of 2,900 individual reefs” and can be “seen from space and is not only the world's largest coral reef system but also the largest structure
By the turn of the twentieth century, criticism was developing over the ineffective and illegitimate character of local police departments. During this time period, the Progressive Era, many changes were taking place in America. Urbanization was bringing many people to large, increasingly industrial cities of the day. City officials were required to redesign many facets of urban life as cities continued to grow. This atmosphere of reform was also carried over into policing. Roberg et al. argues that the 1920s to 1960s were “probably the most significant period in the development of policing in the United States” (2012). During this time period, the foundations of professionalization were laid down. The reform model of policing dominated police work during this time period (Roberg et al. 2012). This model was characterized by a commitment to base the police-community relationship on law and police policy. It was now understood that police action should not be influenced by politics or personal opinions. To avoid this, police departments were now efficiently and centrally m...

It only takes one person to start a domino effect which can end up possibly saving the reef, and then when David Attenborough wisely speaks of the great barrier reef it will be how amazing it looks and how we saved it from total destruction instead of how damaged and destroyed and in danger it
Parts of the Great Barrier Reef are over 18 million years old. During this time sea levels have changed, with the Great Barrier Reef being left high and dry during the last ice age, turning into grassy plains. Sea levels rose as ice caps melted around 12 000 years ago, allowing corals to reestablish on old remnant reefs. It is the world’s largest coral reef ecosystem. The Great Barrier Reef is home to 1500 species of fish, 400 species of coral, 40000 species of Mollusk, 500 species of sea weed 215 species of birds, 16 species of sea snake and 6 species of turtle. However over time this diversity is rapidly decreasing, it is vital that the Great Barrier Reef is protected.
Most police departments utilize the traditional pyramid structure to differentiate specialized functions, authority, and leadership. Studies from Peak et al., (2012) indicate that numerous police agencies experimented with other methods of structural leadership styles, and most of them prefer the traditional pyramidal configuration because it emphasizes “rapid leadership and division of labor particularly in catastrophic incidents” (p. 28). Police departments in the United States are considered as bureaucracies for two of the following reasons: (2) heavy reliance on rules, regulations, policies and procedures; and (2) pays
The Great Barrier Reef Management Authority identified in an outlook plan for the reef that climate change is the long term threat that will destroy the reef. The Australian Government and Queensland officials have formally agreed to undertake an assessment on the Great Barrier Reef and the routes taken in order to maintain the reef’s beauty. A public group has been set up, allowing for people to have their say in how to protect the reef. There is a Long-Term Sustainability Plan for the Great Barrier Reef being undertaken by Australian and Queensland officials. This plan involves both costal officials and those of the general public that want to get involved. Officials have taken in all the comments from the general public and are expected to come up with a shot and long term plan into order to sustain the Great Barrier Reef.
The key characteristics of community policing are as follows: Police officers are usually called upon to be particularly thoughtful, creative problem solvers. They are asked to listen to the concerns of community members, to logically reason out the roots of problems, to identify and research potential answers, to implement solutions, and to assess results. Police officers work in partnership with concerned citizens. The second characteristic is that police officers are visible and accessible component of the community and work with youths and other community members top address delinquency problems. On the third characteristic, police officers patrol a limited number of jurisdictions on foot. The so-called foot patrol officers are believed to be more approachable and offer a comforting presence to citizens. The fourth and last characteristic that will be mentioned on this paper is that the community policing have decentralized operations, which allows officers to develop greater familiarity with the needs of various constituencies in the community and to adapt procedures to accommodate those needs.

The Great barrier reef has had many recent hardships, including water pollutants and the increasing water temperature. Although it may be too late to save this particular reef we the people must not be so nearsighted to the
The Great Barrier Reef is found off the coast of Queensland, Australia in the Coral Sea and it is the “world’s largest reef system” (greatbarrierreef.org). Because the reef is so large it is considered to be one of the “seven natural wonders of the world” (greatbarrierreef.org). According to unmuseum.org/7wonders/greatreef.com, the Great Barrier Reef is more than 1600 miles long and it covers an area of more than 133,000 square miles. The reef system is composed of over 2900 individual reefs and has over 900 islands. The complete system is larger than all of Italy put together (greatbarrierreef.com) which is equal to about 70 million soccer fields (greatadventures.com.au/great-barrier-reef.info).
