Imagine that you are a member of a law enforcement agency and you have received several pieces of raw intelligence from different sources (Suspicious Activities Reports or SARs), which, when taken together, point to a potential threat from a specific adversary. Your job is to create a clear and comprehensive report that analyzes the intelligence from the SARs in order to pass it on to the appropriate agency. You should structure your report so that the agency, in turn, can respond to the threat in a way that is effective and appropriate given what you have learned. The finished report should sort the information chronologically, funnel it down to a specific adversary, identify the potential target(s) for the adversary’s activities, assess the level of threat, and make suggestions about what can be done to counter the threat and protect critical information so that the adversary does not change the target. Because most intelligence is fragmented, you will need to read all of the SARs carefully in order to gather the necessary information for the finished intelligence report. Remember to use direct language and employ criminal justice terminology appropriate for the type of threat being assessed and the receiving agency. Accuracy and appropriate grammar are also essential for the report’s credibility.

This week we began a two-week exploration of the U.S. Constitution. We know from the Preamble to the Constitution and Fed No 51, that justice is the end, or goal, of government. We also know that for all our trials and tribulations, more people today have greater access to their rights than ever before.

For your assignment this week, reflect upon your personal life, including work, home, school, or recreation. Discuss the Constitutional right that you see, or experience, being used most often in your life. Discuss how or why this right is so readily applied while other rights may be less often experienced.
