Answer to Question 1

An otherwise private person can be treated like a government official if he or she acts at the behest of a government official. In Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443 (1971), the
Supreme Court stated that the test . . . is whether the private person in light of all the circumstances of the case, must be regarded as having acted as an instrument' or agent of the state. Simply put, when government officials join in on a private search or instruct a private individual to conduct a search, the private individual can be viewed as a government actor within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment.

Answer to Question 2

Internal Review - Process by which a police department investigates complaints against its own officers

Civilian Review - Involving citizens at some stage of the complaint review process

Mediation - Relying on a neutral third party to render decisions
