Assume the role of a police officer on patrol. You have been dispatched to a high school, where a homeless man has camped in a vacant lot across from the school property in a box. He does not bother anyone, but students pass by him throughout the day on the adjacent sidewalk. The lot is county property. A school administrator has called the police and asked that he be told to move.

Using key terms and concepts from the chapter and the video, answer the following questions:

1. How would you handle this situation?
2. Are there any community resources you can think of, that could assist such a person?
3. Do you have a local homeless shelter? (Research the Internet to locate one; cite your source.)
4. Are there any religious organizations you could call? (Research the Internet; cite your source.)
5. If the homeless person refuses to leave, how will you use your discretion?
