Essay

Officer Cool is responding to a noise complaint from neighbors near a local community swimming pool. It is 8 PM and the pool closed at 6 PM, and Officer Cool discovers there are three teenage boys swimming in the pool. There is also a hole in the fence surrounding the pool. As Officer Cool approaches the three swimmers, he asks them to get out of the pool and produce identification. Each teenager complies, and one of them states that they entered through the open hole in the fence and were just cooling off. Officer Cool asks dispatch to contact the community association, and it is confirmed that the hole in the fence was already there and should have been patched. The community association just wants the boys to leave the pool and stay off the property. Officer Cool's police department has a policy that patrol officers may use their discretion in handling juvenile complaints. Using the qualities of an officer and use of discretion, what are the options for Officer Cool?
