Activity Details
As you learned in your reading , there are several stages to a trial process . Once a crime is reported , the police begin to investigate , collect evidence , and report evidence to the prosecutor . The involvement of the police continues from the beginning of a case to its end .
Tasks :
In this assignment , imagine you are an officer at your local police station . Your supervising officer assigns you to a prestigious unit that receives special projects , including education development . As your first project , you are assigned the task of creating and presenting a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation concerning the trial process to new recruits at the police academy .
Perform the following tasks :
Step 1 : Research and develop a plan for the trial process . Use information from both the textbook and the Argosy University online library resources . Refer to the attached terms as a road map and make sure that the terms pertaining to your state criminal court system are present in your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation .
Given below is the road map for this assignment .
Step 2 : Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation describing the local criminal trial process from the beginning to the end . Give thought to the difference between the misdemeanor and the felony processes . In addition , differentiate between the defendant ’ s choice of taking a case to a trial or as a plea . Discuss why a defendant may want to consider a plea instead of continuing with the trial . Explain possible penalties , sentences , and alternative programs available to the defendant .
Step 3 : Include speaker notes to explain the contents of each slide including more research and information . Direct your speaker notes to your audience ( for example , you may tell recruits that they may have to testify at the preliminary hearing and inform them what the judge would consider ).
Step 4 : After completing the assignment , save the presentation .
