You are a police officer on a routine patrol. As you pass by a neighborhood park, you notice a group of what appear to be 14 to
15 year olds out past curfew. What are some factors you may consider in deciding how to handle the case? How does this impact the outcome of the case? How does this affect the future of the involved youth?
You ask them if they are heading home, or can offer a ride home to their residential stay and remind them that it is past curfew for anyone under 18. This is a great way to handle the case because you come off as caring and not aggressive, this impacts the case because the teenagers will think of you as a "cool/chill" police officer that they can be truthful/honest with. This affects the future of the youth in the park that they can have a verbal conversation before anything leads to them getting something on their permanent record. This would most likely make them more cooperative.
