Cuza”, Bucureşti Mark Roberts, British Council, Romania UNIT 1 DESCRIPTIONS INTRODUCTION Police officers will, on many occasions in their service, either be required to describe a person or obtain a description. Think about the topic. Discuss the following questions. 1. What is a description? 2. Why do we use descriptions in police work? 3. What should you pay particular attention to when compiling a description of a person? 4. When compiling a description of property what details should you pay particular attention to? 5. Are there any special skills required for police officers in producing a reliable and accurate description of things which they have seen? Activity 1 Think about the members of your class. Try to describe one of them so accurately that all the others in the class would identify that person from your description. The following checklist may be of help to you- but obviously you do not mention his/her name yet! a) Full name, including any alias/ nicknameage: he/she is 20 years old; he is 20 years of age; he is aged 20; he is a 20 year old youth; he is in his twenties/ early 20s/ late 20s; he is about/ approximately 20. age group: school age / young/ middle aged/ old. age range: under…/ over…. b) Appearance Height: tall/ short/ medium height/ average height Build: fat/ heavy/ medium/ slim/ thin/ slightly built/ well built Colour (ethnic origin): Caucasian or white European/ dark European/ Asian/ Afro-Caribbean /Latin-American Complexion: fresh/ ruddy/ pale/ pimply/ uses cosmetics Hair: length/type- short/ long/ curly/ wavy/ bald/ colour- dark/brown/blond/grey/dyed. He has got dark hair/ he is dark haired Hair on face (facial hair): beard/ moustache/ dark chin/stubble Eyes – colour of the eyes: He has got blue eyes/ he is blue eyed c) Distinctive (distinguishing) marks: birth marks/ moles/ warts/ scars/ tattoos/ deformity other identifying marks. d) Characteristics and habits: drinking/ smoking/ known associates e) Dress (clothing): smart/ casual/ sporting/ scruffy/ vagrant Items of clothing. Try to build up a complete description of yourself. Activity 2 Grammar: Order of adjectives 1. She has got curly blond long hair. 2. He is wearing a long black leather jacket. 3. He is a middle aged short man. 4. He is driving a black small car. What’s wrong with these sentences? This is generally the correct order of adjectives: Size Style/pattern Colour/material (Noun) Put the adjectives in order in these phrases: a) grey short straight hair b) brown large round eyes c) grey woolen long sweater d) short silk floral dress e) cotton striped blouse short-sleeved f) blue dark four-door saloon Activity 3 Translate the following text into English: Martorul incidentului a declarat ofiţerului anchetator că l-a văzut pe cel care a tras două focuri de armă asupra victimei. El a descris suspectul după cum urmează: “ Suspectul era un bărbat alb, de talie mijlocie, în vârstă de aproximativ 30 de ani. Avea părul negru tuns scurt şi mustaţă. Purta un tricou de culoare deschisă şi pantaloni negri. După atac s-a urcat într-o maşină albă, model japonez, cred, şi a părăsit locul faptei în viteză. Asta-i tot ce îmi amintesc.” Activity 4 Reading OPERATION GRANGER Detectives investigating a series of serious indecent assaults in Havant and Hayling Island know that at least two were carried out by the same man. And the methods used in the other incidents- between December 1999 and July 2000- suggest that he could also have been responsible for at least three others. A major inquiry team has been set up to investigate the assaults, and DNA evidence has shown there is a positive link between two of the attacks – on a 51-year- old woman between Havant and Emsworth and on a 13- year- old girl in a Hayling Island church yard. Detectives are especially keen to find the perpetrator before he strikes again because his attacks are becoming progressively more violent and showing signs of more planning. In the most recent attack – on Friday, July 7, 2000, at 7.50pm – a 15- year- old girl was cycling home north along the disused Hayling Billy railway line, now a public footpath. As she reached West Lane she heard someone on the path behind her. Thinking it was a jogger or walker she made way for them to pass, but instead she was grabbed from behind by a man. The attacker threatened to kill her if she struggled and tried to drag her into the bushes at the side of the footpath. But the girl managed to fight her way free and screamed for help, frightening the man off. The terrified girl was then able to cycle to a petrol station and phoned the police. She has been able to describe the man who attacked her as follows: • White • Clean shaven • 5ft 7ins tall • Short grey to fair hair • Physically weak • Wearing a black woollen hat • Long sleeved dark coloured top and jogging bottoms • Gloves She has also helped detectives piece together a CD-fit image of the attacker. This attack bears all the hallmarks of at least four other incidents since December 1999 – and another reported prowler incident could also have been the work of this man. Based on the victims’ statements, the composite description of the man responsible for their ordeals is that he is: • Aged 35 to 55 years • 5ft 5 in to 5ft 8in tall • Slim to slight build • Described by all the victims as physically weak • Reasonably deep voice • Smelled very strongly of cigarettes • In four out of the five attacks he wore gloves. In the May attack, -the only one in daylight – he wore a dark blue sweatshirt or, possibly a blue jacket with side pockets, and pale blue or possibly white trousers or jeans. Police officers want to hear from anyone who recognise the description. Exercise 1 Decide which statements are true and which are false. Write T if you think the statement is true and F if you think it is false. 1. Detectives are investigating a series of indecent exposure cases. 2. DNA evidence has shown there is no positive link between two of the attacks. 3. A 15-year-old girl was cycling home 4. She was grabbed by the hand. 5. The attacker dragged her into the bushes at the side of the footpath. 6. The victim drove off to a petrol station and phoned the medical services. 7. The girl described the man as being black, short but strong, wearing light coloured clothes. 8. The suspect is known as a heavy cigar smoker. 9. The same attacker may also be responsible for at least three other attacks. 10. Police launched a nationwide hunt for the man who carried out the assaults.

Este pentru prima oară când hoţii recurg la mitralieră în confruntarea cu apărătorii legii şi ordinii Un poliţist din Timişoara a fost ucis cu focuri de mitralieră, în zori zilei de duminică, 4 martie 2001, în timp ce urmăreau o maşină furată. Un alt poliţist implicat în urmărire a fost izbit cu maşina. Poliţia din Timişoara a primit, sâmbătă noaptea, o sesizare privind furtul unui autoturism Mercedes de pe o stradă din oraş. Maşina a fost dată în urmărire locală şi a fost identificată, la puţin timp, de o patrulă mobilă de poliţie, care i-a făcut semn şoferului să oprească. Persoana aflată la volan a redus iniţial viteza, după care l-a lovit în plin pe unul din subofiţerii de poliţie, Ioan Mateescu, aruncându-l la doi metri distanţă, pe carosabil. Celălalt membru al echipajului de poliţie, plutonier major Saşa Disici, a urcat în maşina personală şi a plecat în urmărirea autoturismului furat. Disici a luat legătura telefonic cu poliţistul lovit, pe care l-a anunţat că în maşina urmărită se aflau trei persoane care au deschis focul asupra sa, cu o mitralieră. „ Trag cu o mitralieră. Mă ciuruiesc!”- acestea au fost ultimele cuvinte ale poliţistului. Mateescu a plecat cu un autoturism în căutarea colegului său, pe care l-a găsit pe marginea şoselei, împuşcat mortal în piept şi cu pistolul din dotare în mâna stângă. Poliţiştii timişoreni au realizat portretul robot al uneia din persoanele implicate în uciderea unui poliţist în timpul exercitării atribuţiilor legale. Poliţiştii susţin că unul dintre agresori este brunet, cu părul lung, are faţa ovală, nasul lung, ochi mari, negri, şi fruntea îngustă. Ei afirmă că agresorul are în jur de 30 de ani, aproximativ 1,80m înălţime şi era îmbrăcat cu o geacă maro din piele. ( „ Monitorul”, 5 martie, 2001) [...]...
