• Location to be searched and items to be seized.
• Probable Cause Declaration (Statement of Probable Cause)
  • “Hero sheet”
  • Facts that establish probable cause
  • Explanation as to why the items search for will be found
  • Crimes committed by the defendant
  • -1. The search warrant should be in narrative form The face page of the warrant should be descriptive and have all the proper information.
  • 2. The probable cause declarations should be describing in detail what occurred and what you did in a clear, concise, and chronological order.
  • 3. The length of the probable cause declaration should be a is minimum 1 full page (single spaced) (There is freedom in this assignment to be creative and fill in gaps that may have not been covered but that you think should be done as an Investigator/Detective. Think like an Investigator/Detective. You are asking a judge to allow you to enter a person’s home and search it for evidence of a crime. Take your time and proofread your work!

Write 5-page Essay on How communications skills can be related to the success of a therapeutic process? And How confidentiality and the use of self-disclosure complement a therapeutic process?. I need an introduction, body, conclusion and reference. It is important citations during the writing. Everything is in a psychology perspective

Over the years, modern police has changed dramatically as a result of adjustments to changes in technology, societal values, and the political environment. These elements, along with the following tendencies, will continue to influence policing in the future:

1. Increasing reliance on technology: To expand their capabilities and increase accountability, police departments are increasingly turning to cutting-edge technologies like facial recognition, predictive policing, and body cameras.

2. Emphasis on community policing: In recent years, there has been an increase in awareness of the significance of community policing, which places an emphasis on proactive engagement in communities to foster trust and positive relationships.

3. Put a focus on diversity and inclusion: As society becomes more diverse, police departments are realising how crucial it is to incorporate diversity and inclusion into their hiring and training procedures in order to create more inclusive workplaces.

2. [4 pts] In our experiment, we used a baseline of 20 inches. What would happen if the
vantage points were farther apart? For example, how would our measured parallaxes
change if we used a baseline of 100 inches instead?
(Note that there is no wrong answer to this question. The point is to take a guess, and then
to verify or to disprove it.)
3. [5 pts] Repeat the experiment with the object at Position 3, but this time use a baseline
distance of 40 inches by shifting your PMD 20 inches to the right after selecting your
landmark on the left upright post. Record the data for the increased baseline below
Angle 1 ( ◦ ) Angle 2 ( ◦ ) 2???? (◦ ) ???? (◦ )
Baseline of 40 in. at
Position 3
4. [3 pts] For an object at a fixed distance, how does observed parallax change as the
baseline increases?
5. [3 pts] Calculate the distance of the object at Position 3 using the equation below.
???? = 20 in
tan (????)
How does the distance compare to the distance you calculated for your three trials at
position 3?

6. [2 pts] Which remote distance calculations do you trust more – the ones made with the
smaller or larger baseline distance? Why?
7. [10 pts total] In this question, you are going to analyze your distance and measured
parallax data to confirm the relationship between distance and parallax.
a. [1 pts] Calculate the average parallax your group measured for each of the three
object positions (~10 ft, 20 ft, and 30 ft)
Position 1 Average:
Position 2 Average:
Position 3 Average:
b. [4 pts] In a Google Spreadsheet, make a plot of Parallax vs. Distance using your
direct measurements of distance (Table 1) for the x–axis (the independent variable)
and your average measured parallax for the three positions on the y–axis.
Share this spreadsheet with your instructor.
c. [1 pt] Fit a power–series to your data and display the equation. Since you put your
average parallax values on the u–axis, use p for your variable name instead of y.
Since you put the directly measured distances on the x–axis, use D instead of x.
Write your equation here
d. [4 pts] In your own works, describe the relationship between distance and parallax.
That is, how does the parallax change as the distance changes.

8. [3 pts] Estimate the uncertainty in your measurement of the object’s apparent shift (your
measured values for 2????). For example, do you think your recorded measurements could be
off by ten degrees? One degree? One tenth of a degree?
What is your reasoning for your uncertainty estimate?
9. [3 pts] Based on your estimate of the uncertainty in the angular measurements of 2????,
estimate the uncertainty in your measurements of the object distances. For example, do
you think the distances are different from the directly measured distances by 1 inch, 1 foot,
several feet, etc.?
What is your reasoning for your distance uncertainty measurement? Your answer should
reference your answer to Question 8.
(Note that there is no wrong answer to this question. The point is to take a guess, and then
to verify or to disprove it.)
10. [3 pts] Calculate the average distances determined using parallax using your three trials
for Position 1, Position 2, and Position 3
Position 1 Average:
Position 2 Average:
Position 3 Average:

11. [5 pts] Calculate the absolute error of your distances determined using parallax compared
to the directly measured distance. Use your average distances from your parallax
measurements for the “Parallax Distance.” The vertical bars in the equation indicate
absolute value. That means ignore the negative sign if you get a negative number.
???????????????????????????????? ???????????????????? (%) = 100 ∗ :???????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? − ???????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????
???????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? :
Absolute Error for Position 1:
Absolute Error for Position 2:
Absolute Error for Position 3:
12. [3 pts] For which measurement was your error the greatest? Do you think there is a reason
why this measurement had the greatest error?
13. [6 pts] Compare the distances that you calculated for each position using the parallax
method to the distances that you measured directly at the beginning of the experiment.
How well did the parallax technique work? Justify your answer using your absolute errors
calculated in Question 11.

14. [5 pts] Now that we have some understanding of the accuracy and precision of
determining distances using parallax, let’s see how this works for real parallax data for a
star.
Here you will use Equation 3, ???? = !
“ , where the distance D is in parsec and parallax p is in
arcsec.
The star Canopus has a measured parallax of ???? = 0.01055 ± 0.00056 arcsec. The
0.01055 arcsec is the best estimate for the parallax measurement. The ± 0.00056 arcsec
(plus and minus 0.00056 arcsec) is the 1–sigma (1 standard deviation) uncertainty in the
parallax measurement. Recall that in science, we can never measure something exactly.
We always list our best estimate and the wiggle room.
a. [2 pts] What is our best estimate for the distance, in parsec, to Canopus?
b. [1 pt] Using the minus part of the uncertainty (i.e., 0.01055 – 0.00056 arcsec),
what is the distance to Canopus?
c. [1 pt] Using the plus part of the uncertainty (i.e., 0.01055 + 0.00056 arcsec),
what is the distance to Canopus?
d. [ 1 pt] Estimate the uncertainty in the distance to Canopus.
15. [5 pts] Relate the parallax experiment you did in today’s lab to the way that parallax is
used by astronomers to measure the distances to nearby stars. Your answer should include
what your two vantage points represented and how you measured the parallax angle
corresponds to what astronomers observe to determine the parallax of a star.
