You will now have the opportunity to use a mapping program that is used in the state of Massachusetts. You are going to work your way down to one house and will look at this house as a SWAT team exercise.

As instructed below, you will go to the state’s mapping Web site to see its actual mapping program. You will utilize the state’s mapping to address the questions below. Follow the step-by-step instructions.

Instructions

1. Go to https://maps.massgis.digital.mass.gov/MassMapper/MassMapper.html
2. Click “Enter”
3. In the upper center of the screen where it says: “Enter a Location,” enter the following exact search term: “BEACH ROAD & GLENWOOD AVENUE, SALISBURY, MA, 01952” (copy and paste it for accuracy, including the &amp).
4. Then look to the immediate right of the address bar, and click on the layered icon, and select: “2021 Aerial Imagery”
5. Zoom to Beach Rd and Glenwood Ave, and find the corner house with a red vehicle and a silver vehicle and two structures. Any views of the doors and windows at the residence are not visible from the aerial view. The front of the residence is not visible, and it is not clear as to whether or not the residence is a two-story structure.

Assessment

Once you have completed your assessment, compose a 3 – 4 page narrative that uses the information you compiled in your assessment and that answers the following questions:

• If you were heading a SWAT team, in which direction would you advance to get to this house?
• Is there a wooded area?
• Is there any cover?
• Look at the surrounding area. Do you see a place to advance from the rear? Would this type of mapping help you and how?
