    • 4 Pages

    Meth has been a problem in the world for quite some time, since the 1970s. It started off as a trend with motorcycle gangs in the West and it soon spread throughout the U.S. to the common people. The meth epidemic in America has had a horrifying impact on families, individuals, communities, and various populations. There has been a rise in car theft and robbery crimes that meth users commit in order to obtain money to get another high. Meth does horrible things to the physical appearance of a person’s body, including the appearance of sores and wrinkled skin. A person may look twenty to thirty years older than their actual age after the constant use of meth. However, its destructiveness isn’t the effect on the skin, but the effect on the brain. One hit of meth will create a sense of euphoria in the user’s mind that they describe as something they’ve never experienced before.…

    A Field Training Officer (FTO), Rutledge (Author), is on patrol with a patrol officer. He has to type his first police report and is not doing a good job. His officer was disappointed at what he had read in his report; he’s going to show the rookie how it’s done. The officer’s report was not only 50% longer, but full of jargon. The rookie cop stated, “Why do we write like that?” “Because that’s the way we’ve always done it,” replied the officer. After years of being a cop and writing real police reports, Rutledge became a prosecutor. After numerous trails, Rutledge was still boggled at the way police reports were written. So he decided to ask other people in the field of criminal justice and the explanation was the same, “that’s the way we’ve always done it, and no one has bothered to ask why.” The problem is the style is all wrong and everyone is trained to write this way. Rutledge states, “Police reports should be written in the way that you would normally communicate information.” Police reports need to be correct, unclouded and believable otherwise law enforcement personnel will undoubtedly lose the case. During a trial police reports are designed to help the officer out not the criminal; consequently, the court has trouble understanding the reports due to the style, too much jargon, excess big words, and awe and not enough communicating what you know. Rutledge states, “Work smarter not harder.”…
