The Chief of Police may also apply some or all of this policy in situations where members are injured in the line of duty and the injuries are life-threatening. 1034.1.1 DEFINITIONS Definitions related to this policy include: Line-of-duty death - The death of a sworn member during the course of performing law enforcement-related functions while on- or off-duty, or a Civilian member during the course of performing their assigned duties. Survivors - Immediate family members of the deceased member, which can include spouse, children, parents, other next of kin or significant others. The determination of who should be considered a survivor for purposes of this policy should be made on a case-by-case basis given the individual’s relationship with the member and whether the individual was previously designated by the deceased member. 1034.2 POLICY It is the policy of the Grafton Police Department to make appropriate notifications and to provide assistance and support to survivors and coworkers of a member who becomes seriously injured or dies in the line of duty. It is also the policy of this department to respect the requests of the survivors when they conflict with these guidelines, as appropriate.

  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

Then Molly, Glenbogle’s guardian angel, looks set to spread her wings and fly in the face of expectation – into the arms of a new man. Even Golly, the very essence of the estate, whose loyalty and advice have been food and drink to Archie, is beset by his own family turmoil when his estranged daughter, Jessica, returns. Barbara McKissack, BBC Scotland’s Head of Drama, explains:“We join Glenbogle in a new era, with Archie and Lexie firmly at the helm, looking forward rather than back.Viewers have wanted that for so long and it’s lovely to see them together as the couple everyone hoped they would become. “That leaves other characters to have a different view of the world of Glenbogle and what they At last, an air of prosperity settles on the turreted, contribute to it.This has always been a place Victorian edifice of Glenbogle, but within this loch- where, behind the scenes, lots of change happens side Lairdom it is family, not fortune, that is about and where people find that they have been changed to pose problems.Although life has never been by experience – this year is no exception.

Almost simultaneously, however, there was also #JeNeSuisPasCharlie explicitly countering the former, affirmative hashtag. Based on a multimethod analysis of 74,047 tweets containing #JeNeSuisPasCharlie posted between 7 and 11 January, this article reveals that users of the hashtag under study employed various discursive strategies and tactics to challenge the mainstream framing of the shooting as the universal value of freedom of expression being threatened by religious extremism, while protecting themselves from the risk of being viewed as disrespecting victims or endorsing the violence committed. The significance of this study is twofold. First, it extends the literature on strategic speech acts by examining how such acts take place in a social media context. Second, it highlights the need for a multidimensional and reflective methodology when dealing with data mined from social media. Keywords Twitter, hashtag, discursive strategy, sensitive topic, Charlie Hebdo On 7 January 2015, two gunmen forced their way into the #JeNeSuisPasCharlie carried an inherent risk of being headquarters of satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo in viewed as disrespecting victims or endorsing the violence Paris and killed 12 staff cartoonists, claiming that what they committed.

  • 'Line of Duty,' Is Unique Cop Show
    ARAB TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Books ‘A Writer Prepares’ Block’s memoir recalls colorful writing career NEW YORK, June 1, (AP): Lawrence Block has fol- lowed many paths during his long career. “With not a few dead end roads among them,” notes the mystery novelist. Best known for his Matthew Scudder and Bernie Rhodenbarr series, Block has released dozens of pop- ular works through Harper Collins and Dutton among other mainstream publishers. He has received multiple Edgar Awards and Anthony Awards for outstanding fi ction, and his lifetime achievement honors include the Diamond Dagger from the British Crime Writers’ Association and Grand Master status in the Mystery Writers of America. But he has also completed dozens of works under other names, by publishers and publications long since forgotten, and, in some cases, of questionable legality. More recently, he has been publish- ing the books himself, includ- ing “Dead Girl Blues” and the Rhodenbarr novel “The Bur- glar In Short Order,” which both came out in 2020, and his current work, the memoir “A Writer Prepares.” “One big plus of self-pub- lishing is how quickly it can be managed. I can reduce waiting Block time by a minimum of a year if I publish something myself,” he explains. “The downside is not to be shrugged off. Self-pub- lished books rarely get reviewed and hardly ever show up in bookstores. ‘Dead Girl Blues’ didn’t make me This image released by BritBox shows Vicky McClure, (left), and Kelly Macdonald in a scene from the BBC police drama series ‘Line of Duty.’ (AP) rich, and neither will ‘A Writer Prepares.’ But nothing I write is going to do that, no matter who publishes it, and whatever I self-publish stays forever available in electronic and print editions, and probably fi nds what- ever audience it deserves to have.” Television Block is a longtime Greenwich Village resident, fully vaccinated and back outside, enjoying a nice big plate of Brussels sprouts during a recent afternoon in- terview at a favorite cafe.
