Abstract
This paper discusses the author's views that the government can be, and mostly is, a bureaucratic organization that not only cannot save money efficiently, but wastes money on a daily basis. The author bases this statement on his 23 years of military service. It proposes a cost metrics for the training of warrant officers at the United States Army Signal Center, Fort Gordon, Georgia, and attempts to list the true cost of training warrant officers. It does this by taking all costs into account, such as the facilities, gas, water, electric, and salaries of the military personnel.
From the Paper
"Every military unit has a mission statement. This needs to be identified and measured. Any other activities done to support the mission should also be identified. There are lots of these, and many are usually hidden, or not realized. Managers must define metrics, collect data and then analyze the data. They must be truthful and not misleading. The better the documentation, the more visible and convincing the decision-making process becomes. The biggest problem is identifying and documenting the hidden costs. Sometimes accidentally and other times on purpose."

Abstract
A look at the controversial issue of police officer mutual loyalty and how it may affect the department, investigations and decisions made by officers. This becomes a controversial issue when one officer is accused of a crime or misconduct and others do not testify against the officer.
From the Paper
"?Police officers work in an isolated environment, and socially, for the most part, they are surrounded by their fellow officers. It is not unusual for them to build long and fast friendships with their fellow officers, both at work, and in social situations, similar to war situations, where men under fire make lifelong friendships. ?The Police are a fraternity whose members are bound together by the difficulties, dangers and challenges of their job as enforcers of the law and protectors of the citizenry. It is arguably one of the more high-risk jobs, as one misjudgment in the pursuit of a criminal can produce serious injury or death. Solidarity and loyalty are essential to survival? (Vitalis)."

Abstract
The position of the traditional R & D director has evolved into that of the chief technology officer, which is much more broad and encompassing. The paper shows that the primary role of the chief technology officer is to deliver the total value of technology for the corporation, to ensure that the firm has the technologies that it needs to achieve its goals and to facilitate technology transfer across business units. The paper looks at various issues on the subject, including the evolution of this role in the business world, areas of responsibility for the C.T.O. and the future of this field.
From the Paper
"I believe that the chief technology officer is an important link between government laboratories and U.S. corporations, because one of the primary functions of the CTO is to assess the need to form partnerships with government institutions in order to exploit the total technology capacity of the organization. A government role is also vital in promoting technologies that are critical to economic growth, the creation of good jobs, and meeting the common needs of the nation, but that cannot attract adequate private investment?especially in the cases of high technical risks and long payback horizons.
Overall, it is clear that the CTO has a vital role in building a strong U.S. base of fundamental science, and developing a business environment that encourages innovation and investment."

Abstract
In this analysis of the short story, "The Prussian Officer", by D.H. Lawrence, the author examines the main character and the relationship that he develops with his orderly. It also looks at the themes of jealousy, love and resentment.
From the Paper
"The aristocratic officer had cut himself off from the world. He is something of a recluse and would rather be away from all people and all things except for his orderly. He has no real desire or passion for the world around him, or even for life. He wishes to only live inside of himself-with his orderly. "The officer is a study in stifled passion and blandness. He wants to possess; perhaps he even wants to love, however, he doesn't know how to express his feelings. He, for perhaps the first time in his life, has experienced a very human and passionate emotion-jealousy."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that interviewing two police officers, one quickly becomes aware of some of the similarities between officers. The writer points out that these similarities are not surprising, given that research suggests that certain personality types are more drawn to law enforcement work than other personality types. However, the writer maintains that even more noteworthy than the similarities between the officers was a fundamental difference noted by the interviewer, which seems as if it might have a tremendous impact on the different courses of the officers' future careers. The writer concludes that the interview reveals something that was clear in both officers' interviews; whatever stress and strain officers may experience, they truly enjoy their jobs.
From the Paper
"First, it is important to note that the officers shared several basic similarities. Both officers interviewed were male, relatively young, had been on the force for relatively short periods of time, had the rank of sergeant, and shared similar racial and educational backgrounds. Officer one was a 24 year-old Hispanic male with 2 years of experience on the force, and 2 years of college education. Officer two was a 31 year-old Hispanic male with 5 years of experience on the force and no college education. Both officers worked for a police department and both interviews were conducted via telephone."

The paper explores the idea behind effective communication, and how organizations can achieve it. The paper further looks at how CEOs are an important aspect of any organization and how their ability to maintain, change, and develop the appropriate business strategies depend primarily on how they motivate and communicate to employees the appropriate trend and the necessary facets of the organizational structure. The paper concludes that without understanding how important this element is, then an organization will face serious communication problems and will not successfully achieve its business objectives.

CEO and Organizational Culture
Employees and the Organizational Structure: CEO's Motivation and Performance Measures
The CEO and Communication
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is common knowledge that motivating the workforce is a necessary prerequisite for effective management. Many companies have gained tremendous success, by enforcing being able to correctly identifying rewards to performance and hence motivating the workforce to support the organizational structure. Other organizations have failed to realize their strategic objectives because they have not realized how important the overall mechanism of the organization is. The CEO acts as the champion of change. Employees use the CEO as a model for the organization's direction and development."

Alden Dancio v. Police Officer, 2005.
This paper discusses the case of Alden Dancio v. Police Officer and examines the subject of resisting arrest.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper looks at the controversial issue of resisting arrest. In particular, the paper examines the Texas approach to resisting (unlawful) arrest versus the Maryland approach to resisting arrest and finds that the latter is surprisingly more tolerant of citizens doing precisely that. The paper suggests that Texas' high rate of police mortality is part of the reason.
From the Paper
"The case of Alden Dancio v. the (disgruntled) police officer is certainly a provocative one. The following paper will briefly outline whether or not there are states in America that permit an individual to be charged by the prosecutor's office for resisting arrest even after it has been established that he or she did not commit an original crime (such as disorderly conduct) that would have warranted apprehension by a police officer. The paper will also briefly discuss whether or not this author would support the institution of such a law and then look at Maryland's criminal code vis-a-vis resisting arrest to determine if that state permits the apprehension of individuals for resisting arrest in the aforementioned circumstance."

Officer Shootings, 2002.
A discussion of the cases involving police officers shooting suspects.

»

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of officer shootings. The writer explores the basis for the shootings, and possible preventative measures for the future. The paper provides several examples of instances where suspects were shot and killed by police officers. The witnesses' and attending officers' accounts are discussed.
From the Paper
"Across the nation the news pumps information to the public about officers shooting suspects. Many times the shootings get scrutiny because the shootings are accused of being racially motivated. Other times they receive attention because the family of the victim alleges the victim did nothing that warranted being shot. In most cases the shootings are ruled as valid or reasonable, however that doesn?t mean there was no other solution. An officer is in a split second decision any time a shooting occurs. While one would never suggest that an officer endanger himself or others there are sometimes things that can be done to prevent the need for a shooting."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the importance of a firm?s chief operating officer (CEO) to the firm?s performance and market value has long been recognized and how the process of selecting individuals for appointment as CEOs has been studied extensively and, at times, such studies have produced conflicting results. It evaluates how the addition of the growth of Internet-based firms has added to the complexity of determining the best fit of the traits and experiences of a candidate with the needs and culture of an organization. Through an extensive literature review, it analyzes traits and experiences of CEOs with a view toward identifying factors that may be useful in predicting the potential of an individual to be selected to assume the responsibilities of a CEO.
From the Paper
"Pasternack, Van Nuys, and Perkins (1998) identified four behaviors that lead to CEO success. First, a successful CEO acts promptly once a problem has been identified and its character diagnosed. Equally important to CEO success, in this regard, is that a CEO should not act in a precipitous manner. Second, subordinate managers who do not actively support a CEO?s program should be replaced quickly. Third, a CEO should prioritize her or his time and adhere to the policy thus established. Fourth, a successful CEO quickly establishes strong relationships "

An Officer and a Moral Man, 2000.

Abstract
This paper examines the conflict a soldier faces between following orders and following morality; military code and personal responsibility for one's actions. The author discussed the Nuremberg trials, the Geneva Convention, and the My Lai massacre.
From the Paper:
"The most obvious party responsible for what the military does is the military itself. The people who actually carry out the violence of war and those who give the direct order to do so are most clearly responsible for the results. They bear the brunt of the physical evidence that war leaves behind. Members of the armed forces are also the most at risk to face the consequences of the violence they cause because of the conflicting beliefs they are asked to hold. The concepts of personal responsibility and superior orders constitute a type of ethical doublespeak that creates a moral dilemma for military personnel."

Police Officer Suicides, 1997.
Analyzes social, psychological & workplace causes. Examines types of cases and incidence. Presents research based on Emile Durkheim's theories.

From the Paper
" Emile Durkheim?s theory of suicide, developed in the 1800s, is directly related to the contemporary discussion of suicides among law enforcement personnel. Theorists have attempted to account for the causes of suicide since Durkheim put forth his explanation in 1897. However, regardless of the theoretical basis, suicide appears to be the result of a combination of factors. The eclectic, multicausal approach used today to explain suicide includes social, psychological, and biological components. Although revisions have been suggested by other theorists, Durkheim?s theories are as relevant today as when he began his work in this area over a hundred years ago.
Emile Durkheim, a former French education professor, is considered the founder of modern sociology as an academic disciple. The primary focus of Durkheim?s theory of suicide.."
