***Be sure that you read all the way to the end***
During 2016, a lone gunman entered the Pulse Night Club in Orlando, Florida. He had an agenda and that was to create as much chaos as possible. During the ensuing time after he entered, he left a wake of dead bodies and countless injured victims.
There are a lot of considerations that come to bear in a time of mass-crisis. Manpower, special operations (SWAT), medical care, triage centers, evacuation of injured, communication with officers from all responding jurisdictions, homicide investigations, mass-casualty morgues, identification of triage wounded and priority hospitals are some of the concerns that must immediately be made in addition to conducting a threat assessment of the situation and formulation of a proper response plan to neutralize any threats, both known and unknown.
As with any scene of mass chaos, reporters and media representatives will descend on the scene in droves. Family and others concerned will demand to know if a loved one was in the building at the time of the shooting and whether their loved one or friend is accounted for and in what state (dead, alive, at a hospital, etc.).
Devise a response plan based on the IS courses and the leadership aspects of your text. Develop at least three critical areas of response. Construct a response effort that addresses these critical areas. You may use some of the examples I provided above, but you are not limited to them.
Late assignments will not be graded. Further, when I get to the third misspell, I stop grading and you get a zero.
A note on plagiarism: Read the comments in the syllabus about plagiarism. Read the APA guidelines on it, too. To sum my position, if you copy information from the web or if you use another person’s paper or any portion of it, you will receive a zero. If you include information that you take from somewhere and do not cite it properly (i.e., direct quote or block quote) or forget to cite it, you committed plagiarism. Invariably, there always seems to be someone who does not heed this warning. If you plagiarize, you will get caught and when I find it, I report the offense to the Dean of Students for adjudication, at which point you cannot drop the class.
Your paper must be a minimum of 3 pages of content, conforming to APA standards (6th Ed). Three pages of content (the bare minimum) does NOT count the title or reference page. You must have a minimum of 5 scholarly sources to support your paper. Refer to your syllabus and rubric for guidance.
Please be advised that I grade strongly on thought organization, content and APA. Here is a thought for writing:
• Open with an introductory paragraph that briefly explains the problem. In this opening paragraph, tell the reader where you are going with this paper, provide the paper’s direction and list 3 key elements that you will discuss.
• Transition into the main body of the paper. For each of the three key elements you identified in the opening paragraph, offer the main idea, provide evidence (scholarly sources), analyze the evidence in support of the main idea (discussion) and transition to the next key element. Do this for each element.
• Conclude by succinctly revisiting each of the elements to the opening paragraph.
Read the rubric attached. The rubric is what I use to determine your grade.
