Id like to welcome Brian back to the class after three weeks to start off, tonight we talked about various subjects that related to making an arrest. We first learned how to make a proper arrest, there are 4 steps to make a proper arrest such as;

-why the person is under arrest
-right to remain silent
-to obtain council without delay
-a toll free # to call

*when an officer states all of these he or she should ask the person if they understand, if not, ask again.

When making an arrest the officer's position should be taken into account, for officer safety, the officer should be positioned in the interview or escort stance at a 45 degree angle.

After learning all of this Brian had us all practice with partners to get a feel for the process.

We then talked about verbal and non verbal communication in policing such as object communications. Some object communication are:

-The most common form of object communication is clothing, wether it be a police officer or a patched hells angels member.
-The types of clothing that people wear are often used to determine their personality, though this is considered a form of stereotyping.
-Another form of Object communication is certain tattoos for example; gang related tattoos are a key indicator ( tear drops, gang colours or emblems )

To finish the class off we learned about 6 very important definitions to remember

1. Oculesics-Oculesics, a subcategory of kinesics, is the study of eye movement, eye behaviour, gaze, and eye-related nonverbal communication. 
2. Para-language-the non-lexical component of communication by speech, for example intonation, pitch and speed of speaking, hesitation noises, gesture, and facial expression.
3. Chronemics-Chronemics is the study of the use of time in nonverbal communication. The way that one perceives and values time, structures time and reacts to time frames communication. Across cultures, time perception plays a large role in the nonverbal communication process. Time perceptions include punctuality, willingness to wait and interactions.
4. Kinesics-Kinesics is the interpretation of body motion communication such as facial expressions and gestures, that is, nonverbal behaviour related to movement of any part of the body or the body as a whole. 
5. Proxemics-Proxemics is one of several subcategories of the study of nonverbal communication. Prominent other subcategories include haptics (touch), kinesics (body movement),vocalics (paralanguage), and chronemics (structure of time). 
6. Haptics-Haptics is any form of interaction involving touch.
