West Warwick Citizen's Police Class Week 3

Hi All,

Well week 3 of the 10 week classes is in the books. During the course on Wednesday night we learned about Criminal Law and the elements of criminal law. In Criminal law there are 2 sources of it which are Statutes, and Common Law.





In Rhode Island the Common Law definition is when the Rhode Island Statue doesn't define a crime. For example: the elements of a burglary are found in case law.

A Statue can replace or codify the common law.


Some law areas we went over were crimes against people, property crimes, crimes against society, and Inchoate Crimes.  Inchoate crimes are conspiracy, solicitation, and attempt.

At the end of the class we were showing a video of what cases district court handle. They mostly handle civil disputes,and  small business court.


Thanks for reading!

Police K'9"s

-  K9 Viking Warwick Police RI, his handler is Officer Aaron Steere. I believe every police department in Rhode Island should have police K9’s. The reason why they should have the K9’s is because they can help out in many different aspects.   These types of K9’s are not like our regular dogs! These police K9 dogs are certified in narcotics detection, patrol work, building searches, area searches, tracking, article recovery, and criminal apprehension. The schooling for the K9’s and handlers lasts 6 months. Also they are trained in handler protection.   For the dogs to know what to do their commands are in given in German/Czech.  Some of the police dogs come from Europe.  Many of these police K9’s are aggressive dogs compared to the one’s in airports where they are more passive.   The difference between aggressive and passive ones are that the aggressive dogs will scratch and bark when they find what they are looking for, the passive dogs are the ones that sit when they find their

Yoga for the First Time- Year in Review

Image
A year ago today on May 26 th ’2016, I started something brand new for the first time and that was yoga! Last year the first yoga class I took was at Laughing Elephant Yoga and the class   “Basic Yoga Beginner”. When starting out I didn’t know what to expect from a yoga class or if I would even like it, but boy was I wrong I have fallen in love with yoga and enjoy learning new yoga poses, like downward dog, tree pose, and warrior poses. These days I try to do yoga at least 3 times a week if I’m lucky either at Yoga with Brenda or at Laughing Elephant. So far Yoga has taught me to unplug for an hour or so and have time for me and unplugging for me is hard when you're in the media. The Yoga has also challenged me in many different ways it has helped me come out of my comfort zone and over the past year I have meet many new amazing people that I practice with. Some of the yoga classes I have taken are Basic Yoga  Beginner, Gentle flow, Funky flow, Strong

 Hello Everyone,  Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and a few days off to rest. It's been a couple of weeks since I updated about the yoga series I've been taking over the past 5 weeks. On Monday November 27th during my private yoga lesson since I missed week's 4 yoga lesson on new poses I did that lesson yesterday for my private class. The new poses yoga class was working on some new yoga poses ones I haven't heard of or done before. An new poses I did yesterday was a bank bend stretch while using a block for support to make the yoga stretch a little deeper.  Loved learning new poses and the benefits of the poses and yoga. Yoga brings you into the present moment where it's the only place you need to be for the hour. The lesson ended with a nice relaxed mediation by listening to the sound of the beach and the ocean waves. Week 5- Yoga Poses for Wellness-  During this class lesson last night we worked on yoga poses that help to boost our immune syste
