This is a dissertation and I am trying to finishish up chapter two. I will upload the paper I am writing and the example I am using. The example paper just really needs to be re-written so that I am not plagiarizing. Also my topic is on people who never participated in mental health treatment and the exaple paper is on dropout so that has to be changed. I only need the rest of my chapter two to be completed and it has to be 30 pages and I only have 8. The topics that needs to be covered is in the introduction.

Officers Jones and Henderson are well-respected police officers in the Woodlawn community. They have been recognized, both within the police department and by the community, for their outstanding service.  While on patrol in downtown Woodlawn late one evening, Jones and Henderson observe an individual sleeping on a park bench in the town square.  The individual is Fred Ames, a homeless person known in the community for his trouble with alcohol and illicit substances.  Ames has a twenty-year history of bad choices and bad luck, and most in Woodlawn “know his story.”  Woodlawn does not have a law against vagrancy or homelessness.
Determined to “clean up” the downtown area, the officers demand that Ames seat himself in the back of the squad car.  Reluctantly, and without the use of force on the part of Jones and Henderson, Ames complies.  Officers Jones and Henderson transport Ames to a rural area, where they release him on a dark country road, and warn him not to return to Woodlawn until he “cleans up his act once and for all.”
Have Officers Jones and Henderson committed a tort against Ames? Are the officers within the “privilege of their authority” in removing Ames from the downtown area? Did the officers act unethically? Should Woodlawn implement a law against vagrancy/homelessness?

You work as a manager of a financial management organization.
You are responsible for the accountants who perform professional audits for organizations seeking to reduce financial risk and better understand their financial position. A member of your team, George, is not meeting performance expectations. Several clients have complained that he has not provided them with information to reduce their risk and offers very little feedback on improving the management of their finances. In reviewing George’s work and meeting with him, you discover that he lacks some of the skills necessary to identify risks an organization is facing. While he understands some of the information he needs to provide to clients, he admits that he is not confident in his ability to clearly communicate this to the clients. You also notice his reports are not well-written and are difficult to understand.
In an initial post of at least 350 words or more and citing at least two required resources,
Discuss how you could use training to help George build the skills necessary to do the job.
Identify specific training needs for George.
Make recommendations on what should be included in a training plan for George.
