CJ505 Unit 2 Assignment: Analysis and Application Write a 4–5 page paper on this topic.

Vicarious Liability: Criminal or Civil Liability For this assignment, you will assume the role of the Attorney General of the state. Acting as the Attorney General, write a 4-5 page response to the situation in the following scenario, Scenario Following a series of high-profile charges of police misconduct including assault, extortion, sexual assault, and money laundering by officers, a local news station conducted an investigation into the agency and uncovered 14 individuals who had been hired on at the local police agency despite all having previous felony records.

The crimes ranged from drug convictions to aggravated assault, auto theft to robbery. Upon discovery of this information, the news station submitted a request for information and obtained the names of every officer employed at the agency. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that over 50 of the officers had previous criminal records including blackmail, extortion, solicitation of prostitution, domestic violence, and two were convicted of hate crimes.

Following the news report, the attorney general of the state received a call from several community organizations requesting that the chief of police and human resources director be brought up on criminal charges relating to the hiring of these individuals. The argument was that the chief and director were directly responsible for approving all of the hiring and that the background checks on every officer with the exception of one returned the criminal records. Because of the seriousness of the issue and the need of urgency, you (the Attorney General) need to make the appropriate decision on whether to press charges against the human resources director and the chief of police. In your response as the Attorney General, be very detailed in the application of vicarious liability and whether you believe the individuals named above, should be held criminally liable or if only the agency should be held civilly liable.

Deliverable 3 – Plan for Managing Operational Failures

Competency

Evaluate the components of operational risk and the application of corresponding risk management plans.

Instructions

LTD Acceptance is a private property and auto insurance carrier that specializes in sports cars and motorcycles. This organization is owned by LTD Capital, a large equity group with over 15 holdings. LTD Acceptance is the parent company’s single largest holding as it drives 70% of total revenue. Due to the inherent risk involved in that segment of the market, many of LTD Acceptance’s competitors do not offer policies for sports cars or motorcycles. This market segment is underserved which is why the organization has 20,000 active policies for a sports car or a motorcycle.

LTD is headquartered in Houston, TX. LTD does not sell insurance directly to the public. Instead, it uses third-party agents to sell its policies. LTD handles all customer service needs including claims intake, policy services, and general questions. The company operates in four states: California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Currently, LTD does not have an active system in place to ensure that its agents are in fact using LTD guidelines to screen potential policyholders. However, no evidence of negligence has emerged so far as the organization has yet to have a year in which it was not profitable. LTD has also had the good fortune of not suffering losses because of natural disasters or catastrophic events.

Organizations in every sector experience breakdowns or failures that compromise the efficiency and efficacy of their operations. This concept is defined as an operational failure. Operational failures have a direct and adverse impact on profitability. As such, the shareholders want assurance that the risk management team is actively working on mitigating the occurrence of these failures. As the newly hired senior risk analyst, you are responsible for outlining a plan to do just that.
For this deliverable, provide a report to your supervisor which provides a framework for managing operational risk exposures. Your report should include the following:

• Explain why the operational losses cannot be broadly managed. Why do they have to be categorized?
• For each operational risk exposure listed below, provide at least two examples of potential losses from the exposure and reasons why you need to manage it.
  • Internal fraud
  • External fraud
  • Employment practices and workplace safety
  • Clients, products, and business practices
  • Damage to physical assets
  • Business disruption and system failures

Your conclusion should align the effective management of operational risk exposures with organizational effectiveness.
The format for your report should be in the business, professional style. For help with this format, please click here.
