COLLAPSEESSAY 1: NEEDS RESPONSE
Competent communication is important in the field of criminal justice for many reasons. One reason is because there is a lot of communication in the field in general. There are a lot of reports that need to be written, tickets, communication through the radio, and so many more sources of communication (Columbia Southern University, 2017). If someone misunderstood something that someone else is communicating to them, then it will just mess everything up and invest further time and effort into something where that time and effort could have been spent somewhere else. Another reason is that the criminal justice field is also similar to the legal field and they work very closely together (Columbia Southern University, 2017). With that being said, it is smart to have the correct and efficient communication to prevent any confusion between the two fields or even in a courtroom. Finally, it will provide the most efficient help that the criminal justice field can provide. From responding to a call or solving a crime. Effective and competent communication can and will make the world of difference in a tight and fast-paced situation.

An example of a situation where competent communication was not used was when my friend and I got into an argument because I did not communicate effectively. My friend wanted me to play soccer with her instead of softball for our spring sport. I told her that I would really like to do that. She was excited and I was excited too. Over the next few days, I realized I really did not want to play soccer. On the day of tryouts, I went to the softball tryouts instead of the soccer. My friend was upset and confused as to why I was not at soccer tryouts. I told her that I didn’t really want to play soccer anymore. She was mad that I didn\u2019t just say that in the first place. The consequences of me not telling her the truth was that we were in an argument and I hurt her feelings. The Lord said, Do not lie.\u00a0Do not deceive one another (Leviticus 19:11)

ESSAY 2: NEEDS RESPONSE\u00a0\u00a0For this assignment I will be discussing why competent communication is important in the Criminal Justice field\u00a0and why we should use\u00a0it.\u00a0What is\u00a0competent communication\u00a0and why is it important? Competent\u00a0communication\u00a0is\u00a0\u201ccommunicating both effectively and appropriately. Effectiveness of communicating looks at getting the message that we want across and asking questions in ways that warrant the response we are looking for\u201d\u00a0(Denney, 2018).\u00a0When\u00a0we\u00a0think\u00a0and look at\u00a0the Criminal Justice field,\u00a0we need to think about how these\u00a0people are going to work risking their lives\u00a0every day\u00a0to protect their community.\u00a0Therefore, communication plays a big role in these people\u2019s lives! Not only do we need to know how to communicate\u00a0with a great understanding, but we also need to think about how the outcome could be if we weren’t\u00a0to communicate right.\u00a0I personally have not had any altercations or experiences with police, but I\u00a0read\u00a0a\u00a0story\u00a0online\u00a0that I thought would be a great\u00a0example to use for this\u00a0assignment.\u00a0On the Washington Post news page, I read a story of a woman who was a 911\u00a0dispatcher,\u00a0and she\u00a0interfered with 911 calls. For example,\u00a0Crenshanda\u00a0Williams (dispatcher) hung up on\u00a01,000 of calls while working in this field. In the article it said a man named Hua Li \u201ctook two\u00a0minutes\u00a0and three tries to get help from Houston 911 as a\u00a0convenience\u00a0store owner\u00a0while he\u00a0was laying down\u00a0bleeding to death\u00a0on the floor of his store after being shot\u201d.\u00a0It is also said in the article when Li called the first time the call disconnected immediately. \u201cLi tried again. Thirty seconds later, his call went through to Crenshanda Williams. \u201cHouston 9-1-1-, do you need medical, police or fire? Li\u00a0responded,\u00a0\u201cThis is a robbery\u201d,\u00a0Williams then sighed and disconnected the call. (Wootson Jr, 2018).\u00a0\u201cWhen Williams was questioned on why she hung up on 1,000\u2019s of calls Williams\u00a0said,\u00a0\u201csometimes she just didn\u2019t feel like talking\u201d.\u00a0I personally believe if Crenshanda Williams would\u2019ve communicated to her job that she was going through a \u201chard time in life\u201d like she said in the article\u00a0they would\u2019ve worked with her. We don\u2019t know how many lives this woman could\u2019ve cost people and or if she did already.\u00a0

ESSAY 3: NEEDS RESPONSE\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Competent communication is vital to the field of criminal justice, particularly for investigators and police officers. This type of communication can be oral, but it is usually in the form of police or criminal justice reports. In the presentation, \u201cThe Importance of Writing Skills in the Criminal Justice Context,\u201d Mike Milnor explains that police reports are the basis for the prosecutor\u2019s case (2018). Therefore, police officers need to pay close attention to details as well as convey information accurately and clearly. However, without the proper communication or conveyance of information throughout the entire investigation, crucial details could become lost or distorted. \u201cIf you can\u2019t translate what you\u2019ve done in a clear, concise manner so that everybody can understand it, then we\u2019ve not accomplished anything as police officers\u201d (Cox and Milnor, 2018). Proper writing and communication skills will help ensure that valuable information is preserved and conveys the most accurate description of the account.
A personal example of a scenario in which competent communication was not used occurred a little over two years ago. My school system had been closed due to the increasing amounts of snow. Early that morning, a tanker exploded directly in front of our house, causing the culvert to collapse. As a result, both sides of the road closed. Later that day, we called the school and asked how the bus would pick up the students along this stretch of the road. They told us that the bus would pick us up like normal, so we thought that the bus would come through one end of the roadblock and pick the students up. However, the next morning, we waited at the end of our driveway like normal for over 45 minutes, but the bus never came. We called the school and found out that the bus had waited on the other side of the roadblock, but it had already left 30 minutes earlier. As a result, my parents had to drive me to school, and I was counted as tardy for my first class. Proverbs 13:17 says, \u201cAn unreliable messenger can cause a lot of trouble. Reliable communication permits progress\u201d (TLB).
