I Need a response to this post (Summarize)  Lois Gibson is globally recognized as one of the most successful and prolific forensic artists, credited with helping law enforcement identify over 700 suspects and victims since the 1980s. Her work involves creating composite sketches, post-mortem reconstructions, and age progressions based on witness descriptions and skeletal remains. Lois Gibson often emphasizes that her success is rooted not just in her artistic skill, but in her unique interviewing techniques and her ability to gain the trust of often traumatized witnesses. She has stated, "I'm not drawing a picture, I'm drawing what's in their head." Discuss the critical role of psychology and communication in forensic art. How might Gibson's specific interviewing approach (such as patience, empathy, avoiding leading questions) be as important (or even more important) than her drawing skill in achieving an accurate composite sketch? I work for a law enforcement agency and, with the beginning of the new fiscal year, recently had to choose my objectives for the year. This year I chose to take on the training required to qualify for the relief supervisor position. My goal (which I made clear) is not necessarily to become the relief supervisor for my team, but to 1. determine if management in any capacity is something I wish to pursue and, 2. to gain some additional perspective on the behind-the-scenes managerial aspects of my agency. I’ve never aspired to be a supervisor, although it wasn’t something I was certain I wanted to avoid. When I considered long term career paths, financial motivation was the leading factor in pursuing management roles – I consider that the worst reason to become a supervisor! Lately, when reflecting on what I view as shortcomings of my own management chain, and in discussing with my coworkers how and where and why I would’ve handled a situation this way or that, my motivations for pursuing the management path have changed to determining if I think I could be the change I want to see. It’s tricky! I need a short summary of this question    create a thread on any forensic topic and reply to your classmates. Managing a Lab is no different than managing another group of people. You have a boss, employees belonging to various unions, publicity, oversight, budget issues, discipline, etc. The oldest person is not necessarily to wisest or the best at managing. You wear many hats and you have friends and enemies. Most lab personnel just want to do their job, get paid and go home. They do not want management responsiblity. When I was a worker I always thought my managers were only interested in covering themselves. As I moved up, I gained a new outlook. Do you want to be a manager? Why or why not.
