Due to advances in space technology, certain satellite sensors have unique power of capturing data and also generate special kind of observations. The Day and Night Visible Bands (DNB) of VIIRS Sensor mounted on Suomi NPP Satellite provide useful information in real-time monitoring of restoration of electrification after the trigger of a tropical cyclone. Since the destruction ca used by a tropical cyclone is severe, therefore, both restoration and its monitoring play a vital role for law enforcement agencies. This paper presents a novel method to monitor electricity restoration spatially using image processing with VIIRS DNB data. The proposed method is experimented with the cyclone Fani hit Orissa coast during April-May 2019. To conclude, the work accurately determines the spatial analysis of electrification restoration after a tropical cyclone landfall is occurred

ABSTRACT The hurricane plan developed by the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District and approved by vote of the Board of Commissioners is presented. The plan is intended to facilitate prompt resumption of services after a tropical cyclone (tropical storm or hurricane) and to give direction and instructions to District staff who evacuate before a storm makes landfall. Specific procedures are documented for before and after storms, including communication, preparation of buildings and vehicles, and evacuation. The need for food and water for staff immediately after a storm is specifically mentioned in the plan. The plan is composed of five main sections: general preparedness, Lower Keys procedures, Middle Keys procedures, Upper Keys procedures, and aerial operations procedures. Also included is a section covering satellite telephone operation and a list of telephone contacts for local government and law enforcement agencies. An addendum details the District's policy for compensation for public emergency response work so all employees are aware of how they will be paid during the storm recovery period.

There can be no issue of greater consequence than the use of force for police and law enforcement professionals. In a transitional post-conflict country like Nepal, internal security agencies play a vital role in managing the complexity of political, social and economic transformation. Ever since the end of the feudal oligarchic militaristic Rana regime, internal security and law enforcement took precedence in providing safety and security for the Nepalese people. Since Nepal entered a democratic transition in 1950, it almost failed to consolidate and strengthen its internal security and law enforcement apparatus by appropriately restructuring and consolidating the Nepal Police and National Intelligence functions. Even after the democratic political transformation of 1950, it took five years to establish the national Nepal Police in 1955. Law enforcement agencies are now challenged to solve problems well beyond traditional scope. Therefore, internal security must come up with highly developed methods of policing and law enforcement. Technologically, this may not be possible yet, but it can provide management and training of its personnel based on world standards of policing and emphasizing knowledge and skill enhancement and professional behavior. This paper has tried to focus and analyze the use of force by internal security apparatus of the Government of Nepal in the past and brain-storm its future roles and challenges. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part will touch upon contextual commentary on the use of force in brief. The second part will highlight three time-tested models and procedure of the use of force.

Money laundering has become a vast global concern, and the rates are growing. Hence, there is a need for a good preventive and monitoring mechanism that monitors suspicious transactions at the source. In Maldives, a Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) was introduced to gather, analyse, and provide financial intelligence report to law enforcement agencies to proceed with an investigation. The FIU plays a vital role in the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Regime in successfully combat money laundering activities. Since the AML Regime in Maldives was established in 2014, there is a need to conduct a study to investigate the effectiveness of the FIU in combating money laundering in the Maldives. Based on questionnaires collected from 122 enforcement officers, findings show that reporting mechanisms significantly influence the effectiveness of the FIU. The legal framework and the role of the officer did not significantly influence the effectiveness of FIU. It shows that the competency of LEAs in combating money laundering in the Maldives is still low. Therefore, the government needs to enhance the awareness and competencies of enforcement officers in combating money laundering. Future research may conduct a comparative study to understand further the best reporting mechanism that can help enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies. Keywords: financial intelligence unit, money laundering, reporting mechanism

Cash waqf in Indonesia has been long enough implemented based on some rules enacted by government and other rules defined by The Waqf Board of Indonesia (BWI). However, the implementation of cash waqf has not reached the level of success. Therefore, this article studies the application of cash waqf law in Indonesia according to Friedman’s legal system theory. The legal system theory of Friedman firstly looks at the substance of the law, which is the rules or regulations; and secondly it examines the structure of the law, encompassing the law enforcement agencies, such as judge, prosecutor, police and legal counselors. And lastly the theory examines the element of legal culture, which is a response from Muslim society. The first two examinations indicate that there is nothing to be a problem. But from the last examination there is a problem regarding the trust from Muslim society. From the legal culture point of view, the implementation of cash waqf by the government, which is performed by BWI, needs attracting society’s credentials in order to improve and maximize the performance of cash waqf in Indonesia.
