Police Academy Instructor PowerPoint Presentation Guidelines
Begin by reading the relevant sections of your textbook, but don’t be limited by what is covered;
there have been great technological advances since the book was published. The presentation
should address the following questions:
- What does new technology do?
- Why is it needed? What long-standing police issue does this technology address?
- How was the problem handled up to this point?
- How does the technology work? (Don’t get too technical.)
- What are its strengths?
- What are its weaknesses, risks, or unintended consequences?
At a minimum, the presentation should be 10 slides with at least 4 sources.
EACH SLIDE MUST CONTAIN THE CITATION FOR EACH SOURCE OF INFORMATION OR GRAPHIC USED IN THE SLIDE. For instance, if you use information from the textbook/OCR, you would follow it with (Foster, 2005). If you are showing a picture of a Taser, you might follow it with (https://glenngohr.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/taser.jpg). If you are using information from an online article on Tasers, you might follow the information with (http://edition.cnn.com/2015/04/14/us/taser-gun-confusion/). Remember to fully list them alphabetically in the reference list on the last slide, such as: Foster, R. (2005). Police Technology. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall.
A good PowerPoint does NOT use whole paragraphs or even entire sentences since it is intended to accompany a speaker who explains what’s on the screen. Slides typically move too quickly for viewers to read long text or long lists of items. So, use SHORTLISTS OF BULLETED OR NUMBERED PHRASES, IN OUTLINE FORMAT, to present key ideas.
To get RELIABLE sources of information, you must use the LIBRARY DATABASES as opposed to a Google search, since anyone can post biased, self-serving falsehoods on the Internet. An example of a misleading web posting might be a “scientific study” on t
