Effective Communication

  Depressed and suicidal people present an inherent danger to themselves and others. Whether the individual is in their home and the police are responding, or in a prison cell surrounded by correctional officers, how you, the criminal justice professional, deal with them can mean life or death. Create a maximum four-minute video discussing the techniques that should be utilized by criminal justice professionals like yourself. If you find a past incident involving the police/correctional staff or security, share the incident with your classmates and what the officer did that was positive or negative.
