GROUP PROJECT – The Virtual Criminal Justice Alliance
….Background

For the past 11 months, the Virtual Police Department has
applied a variety of investigative resources and strategies and is prepared to
bring a number of criminal charges against the members of the Very Bad Bike
Club. These started out as investigations of individual calls-for-service,
complaints and criminal investigations. They merged into a collective effort
as the pattern of activities and participants began to form. Based on the
investigations, the department believes it has probable cause to arrest and
charge nearly every one of the 63 VBBC members for conspiracy to manufacture
illegal drugs, conspiracy to sell illegal drugs, and participation in a
criminal enterprise. Additionally, numerous individual VBBC members can be
charged with combinations of individual criminal violations, including
possession of illegal drugs, illegal possession of firearms, robbery, attempted
robbery, aggravated assault, and attempted murder. Despite the confidence
the Chief of the VPD has in these cases, no information has been conveyed to
the Office of the District Attorney nor has there been any involvement with the
Grand Jury. As far as the Chief of the Police is concerned, this is the chance
to destroy the VBBC once and for all.

The VBBC has plagued Virtual for over a decade. Efforts to
stop criminal activity by members of the VBBC have been made almost exclusively
by the police department, with little or no support from the rest of the
Virtual criminal justice system. In the past most criminal charges brought to
the Virtual prosecutor’s office by police detectives have resulted in outright
dismissal for lack of probable cause or plea bargained agreements that reduce
potential felony charges to misdemeanors with payable fines. There have
been however, two prior instances of massive arrests of VBBC
members. Approximately 7 years ago raids resulted in the confiscation of
drugs and weapons and the ultimate conviction of 12 VBBC members. Six of
these members are on parole and still reside in Virtual; two others are
currently in the county detention center awaiting trial for new criminal
charges and four others are confined to the State prison near Virtual.A similar
sweep three years ago produced nearly identical results. These sweeps
appear to have been ineffective. In short, the VBBC has a network of members in
jail, in prison, on parole in the community and free on the street. The
current police investigation has affirmed that all of these VBBC members are in
near constant communications with each other.

Robert “Buddy” Pole is the “president” of the VBBC. While
currently on parole for manufacturing methamphetamine, Buddy Pole continues to
orchestrate the criminal enterprise that is VBBC. Provisions of his parole
agreement that prohibit association with known criminals have gone
unenforced. Robert Pole, Jr, (a.k.a. “Little Buddy” or “Bud Lite”) is
currently in the Virtual Detention Center awaiting trial for carrying a
concealed weapon. He seems to be in no hurry to make the affordable
bail. Jail officials believe he is trying to organize a drug network
within the jail. Two Detention Center correctional officers were recently
disciplined for attempting to smuggle cell phones into the lock-up. It is
believed they were destined for Little Buddy’s use. The youngest member of the
Pole family is Patricia (a.k.a. “Tripper”). A chronic truant and trouble
maker in school, Tripper was suspected of providing marijuana to her junior
high school classmates and has continued the practice in high school. At
age 19 and legally an adult, she is just about to complete her senior year of
high school. Tripper’s collections of miscreant friends, most of whom are
VBBC members or “wannabes”, congregate regularly around the Virtual Mall and
commercial centers. Her boyfriend, John Henry Maxwell applied for a job as a
Dunbar Security Force officer but was rejected because of his record.

In order to rid the city of Virtual of this criminal gang,
Virtual Police Department Chief Clayton Moore called upon his criminal justice
partners:

• 
The head of the Virtual Police Department VBBC task force,
Captain Jay Silverheels

• 
The chief criminal prosecutor from the Office of the District
Attorney, Raymond Burr

• 
The Security Chief of the state correctional facility, Major
Allen Irongates

• 
The District Supervisor for the state department of parole,
Martha Street

• 
The Operations Director of the Virtual Security Force,
James Dunbar

The Virtual Security Force, a private security company hired by
the Virtual Commercial Merchants Association to provide security personnel,
equipment, etc. to supplement the resources of the Virtual Police Department in
designated business and commercial areas of the city. VSF personnel hold
special police commissions, have arrest authority on the property of their
clients and may or may not be armed depending on their assignment and
qualifications.

At their initial meeting Chief Moore made it clear to these partners
that they had a single goal, to end the reign of terror emanating from the VBBC
and victimizing Virtual’s citizens. Clearly if there was any hope of
success, each criminal justice partner has to do their part for the collective
good of all. The Chief’s remarks were met with wholesale
agreement. It was decided the Virtual Criminal Justice Alliance would
attack the VBBC on two levels (1) the pursuit of the current police
investigations and prosecutions, and (2) a strategic plan to work collaboratively
to reduce crime in Virtual. When the initial meeting adjourned Chief Moore had
designated Captain Siverheels as his delegate. He was not sure, however,
that every agency representative in the room felt his level of commitment or
truly understood the consequences of failure. He was also curious as to
what resources each “partner” was willing to bring to this operation and what
would be held back.

Major Irongate has her own issues with VBBC. Their presence
in the state prison has settled down what had previously been a powder keg of
gang-related unrest. VBBC has become the dominate force in the
prison. John “Jacky” Pole has been able to get the warring
national/international gang members in the prison to suspend their violence and
focus on drug-related profits.With tensions simmering just below the surface,
Irongate knows the self-serving truce may be short lived. Major Irongate
was also asked to represent the Virtual Detention Center. This facility
holds arrestees awaiting a bail hearing, denied bail prior to trial or in
transitional housing from the state prison to attend court. The jail also holds
offenders serving short sentences for convictions on misdemeanor charges.
Nearly all of the prison’s inmate population came through the Detention Center
and may return there to be available for court appearances. Major Irongate is
convinced that these “traveling” inmates are being used as “mules” for drugs
and contraband cell phones.

Of the persons assembled by Chief Moore, only Dunbar represents
a commercial, profit-driven agency. Simply put, these profits are the
difference between the costs for the security provided and the fees Dunbar
charges. Dunbar is eager to demonstrate a successful partnership with VPD and
the Virtual Commercial Merchants’ Association as a stepping stone to contracts
with larger jurisdictions. In any case, Dunbar’s primary motivation is to make
money.

Raymond Burr would applaud Chief Moore’s plan if he could, but
as a pragmatist he feels that this is a waste of time. He understands, if
no one else at the table does, that plea bargaining is to only way the criminal
justice system can do business. He has also warned the chief before that
his detectives need additional training on establishing probable cause, proper
interrogation procedures, appropriate charging, etc. If the VPD could get its
act together he would love to prosecute a good solid case against the VBBC, but
prosecuting a “looser” case will not solve the problem or help his own
political ambitions.

NOTE: Each student will be assigned a role as one of the five
members of the Chief’s team. The student should fully take on the
persona of that member. Not all of the details can be
provided. Students are encouraged to (reasonably) embellish on the
character of the person they are assigned and play that role to the fullest.
