“Limited time offers” in suspect questioning
CANADA: One commonly used suspect questioning tactic is what is referred to here as the “limited time offer” (LTO). The LTO involves police telling a suspect, who has typically expressed their desire to remain silent, that “now” (i.e., during the police interview) is their only or best opportunity to tell their side of the story. And further; if they remain silent during the interview and give their account later in court, no one will believe them. This LTO tactic is problematic for a number of reasons.

Fire Police: A Statutory Comparison of the Operational Nexus Between Law Enforcement and the Fire Service in Six States
The disciplines of law enforcement and fire–rescue services have maintained a tradition of performing separately but together in terms of cohesion at the emergency scene. This can be attributed to differing operational focuses and organizational culture, leaving a response gap in unified command and functional response efforts. In order to bridge this cohesion gap, several states have implemented legislation that establishes an operational nexus between the two disciplines. Known as “fire police” in corresponding law, these personnel perform duties that draw upon specialized knowledge and practice in firefighting and police powers. Although these specialized personnel have been used for the past several decades, a void remains in academic discourse of the duties they perform, the powers they maintain for exercise, and where they fit in the emergency response picture. This investigation focuses on fire police within the United States and performs a statutory comparison of the states where they exist to provide a better understanding of their role.

Just ‘Students, Old Timers, and Sammies’? Exploring the Role of Stewards and Private Matchday Security in the Plural Policing of Scottish Football
Football clubs in Scotland employ stewards to help to provide a safe and enjoyable matchday experience for spectators. However, stewarding at football matches in Scotland has recently been subject to criticism, particularly in regard to the professionalism of stewards. This article makes an original contribution to scholarship by exploring the role of stewards and private matchday security in Scottish football, drawing upon qualitative data from interviews with 35 participants who have a professional or personal interest in stewarding and the provision of safety and security at football events. The analysis traces the rise of stewarding in Scottish football, noting both challenges and improvements in event safety. Conceptually, we refract this rise, and the concomitant decline in policing resources, through the lens of plural policing, arguing that the policing of football events in Scotland represents a paradigm example of this shift within a reconfiguring field of policing provision and security governance.
