SEED EXAMPLE 1. Review a past incident, explain a. ) whether private security employees in the building had developed a relationship with LEAs and FAs, provide some evidence to support your belief. Incident: On October 1, 2017, a lone gunman named Stephen Paddock opened fire on an open-air concert from a Las Vegas hotel room 400 meters away. The incident resulted in 59 deaths and another 851 injured. The Mandalay Bay hotel had established relationships with both local and federal law enforcement. Las Vegas Metro police department had adopted anti-terrorism training protocols along with private agencies, beginning in 2009, and worked with all area hotels. DHS hosted seven active shooter workshops in Las Vegas, drawing hundreds of private and public security agencies. The hotel security department held regular training with LEAs and FAs, and belonged to industry liaison groups, such as ASIS Las Vegas chapter, which met regularly and discussed common threats, best practices, and invited local and federal officials to speak or conduct training (Craighead, 2009 m; Gunter & Kidwell, 2004). As was observed in the Pulse nightclub attack in Orlando in June of 2016, the nature and strength of relationships, while unable to predict or prevent some attacks, are key to successful response and life-saving operations (Straub, Cambria, Castor et al. , 2017). Strong pre-existing relationships are essential to successful response operations (Straub, Cambria, Castor et al. , 2017). b. ) at least 2 ways that the private security employees worked with/helped LEAs and FAs to investigate the incident, provide some evidence to support your belief. Specify how their relationships contributed to the investigation. Private security employees helped LEAs investigate the shooting in two main ways. First, security at the Mandalay Bay provided LEAs with activity and incident reports which included noise complaints from the shooter on the night before the incident (Gunter & Kidwell, 2004). A hotel client called twice from to complain about loud music coming from the room below. Security confirmed the details of the complaints. Another way private security aided the investigation by reviewing recorded video from inside the hotel. Law enforcement requested access to all related video surrounding the incident, prior to, during, and after the shootings occurred (Craighead, 2009 h, 2009 m; Gunter & Kidwell, 2004). There was some initial discrepancy about the timeline of events immediately leading up to the shootings, including when hotel security first encountered Paddock. After an intense review of hotel security dispatch logs, hotel CCTV recordings, and police officer body camera recordings, LEAs determined that initial reports of the incident timeline needed adjusting (Craighead, 2009 h). **(include reference list)

[EXAMPLE REPLY] SECURITY IN HOUSES OF WORSHIP Most houses of worship, particularly in Judaism, have relationships with local law enforcement (LE) as Jews have been targeted for most of their history (Craighead, 2009 m). I know this relationship with security existed with LE at every synagogue I have attended in the 8 states where I lived (Gunter & Kidwell, 2004). Evidence of this was also clear to me when I emerged from my synagogue in White Plains on the day the Pittsburgh TOL shooting occurred and saw police cars at all 5 synagogues. I do see various components missing from security at houses of worship. First, they, like most of the schools in the US, were not built for security (e. g. , lots of glass windows, multiple door access). So they are extremely vulnerable despite the presence of security guards (Craighead, 2009 m). Second, the congregations at houses of worship are there to pray and are not in the mindset to endorse safety and security (Craighead, 2009 m). Third, worshippers may have practiced fire drills but it almost unlikely that they have conducted active shooter drills nor would they have designated particular people to have specific responsibilities for emergencies (Gunter & Kidwell, 2004). Consequently, the security guard would be too busy fighting the assailant to handle evacuation and first aid responsibilities. It is for these reasons (and the fact that armed police officers were injured in the confrontation) that I disagree with the statement that “the presence of an armed guard would have prevented the carnage at TOL” mainly because armed police officers were injured engaging with the shooter. Moreover, the suggestion that worshippers should come to houses of worship armed is also troubling from a personal and social perspective. What is your perspective of how to counter mass shooting attacks in houses of worship? References Craighead, G. (2009 m). Liaison with law enforcement and fire authorities. In High-rise security and fire life safety (pp. 595 -600). Burlington, MA: Butterworth and Heinemann. Gunter, W. & Kidwell, J. (2004).

STUDENT RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION IN MY REPLY I think the first step to counter shooting in the house of worship should be to organize a volunteer security team among parishioners. Ideally, the team would include people with a variety of experience in law enforcement, military, logistics and medical backgrounds to help come up with a safety and security plan. Limit access for entry and exiting a place of worship so officials can have a better sense of who's coming and going. Give a local law enforcement agency a copy of your building's layout so it knows the entrances and how to find people in case of an emergency. Whenever possible, provide law enforcement with statistics of criminal acts, particularly crimes of larceny, that have occurred at the building (Craighead, 2009 m). Encourage tenants, residents, and guests to report crimes to law enforcement. (Craighead, 2009 m). Public reports are based on data generated at the local level. When these crimes are reported to law enforcement, such data will more accurately indicate what types of crimes are being committed in the community (Craighead, 2009 m). This will provide a clearer picture of crime and may assist law enforcement in justifying requests for additional law enforcement personnel and equipment (Craighead, 2009 m). Do think more security procedures should be implemented as it relates to worship environments? Reference: Craighead, G. (2009 m). Liaison with law enforcement and fire authorities. In High-rise security and fire life safety (pp. 595 -600). Burlington, MA: Butterworth and Heinemann.
