Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow using APA style formatting where appropriate:

You are the new chief of the Greenfield Police Department. After 30 years of iron-fisted control, Chief Slaughter has retired. Slaughter believed in the military model of police management and a traditional crime-fighting policing strategy. He was fully entrenched in the war on crime and ran his department like an army unit. His book of rules and regulations was a foot thick, and he demanded absolute compliance. Decisions were made in the chief’s office and passed down to the officers through layers of captains, lieutenants, and sergeants. At Chief Slaughter’s retirement ceremony, the mayor slaps you on the back and says, “You’ve got some big shoes to fill, son. That guy knew how to fight crime, and his officers never stepped out of line. Our crime rate was below the national average every year he was here.” The City Council presents Slaughter the Meritorious Service Award for 30 years of crime fighting. As a student of police history you realize that most police departments battle complex social problems and seldom march off to war. You know that crime rates are minimally influenced by crime fighting and are a poor indication of policing success. You also know that traditional organizational structures and policing strategies are slow to change and often are out of sync with one another. Most of your questions to the captains about department operations have generated the same response: “Because that’s the way we’ve always done it. If it ain’t broke, why fix it?”

You decide to visit with members of the community. A homeowner tells you that Chief Slaughter’s officers do a great job of patrolling her neighborhood, but she’s worried about the future impact of the deteriorating apartment complex across the street. She realizes it’s not a police problem. The manager of a senior citizens’ residence tells you that there hasn’t been a crime reported in their neighborhood in over a year, but the residents are afraid to go out at night. He thinks it’s the rumors that spread from crime reports on the television news. The business owners in the shopping center complain that customers are being driven away by kids skateboarding in the parking lot. They understand that the police have more urgent crime problems to fight. The high school principal praises the police department’s stringent traffic enforcement before and after school. He wishes he could resolve the growing truancy problem as efficiently as the police handle traffic. None of the people you talk to is personally acquainted with a Greenfield police officer. It appears the Greenfield Police Department is trapped in the reform era. They rely on preventive patrolling and rapid response as their primary policing strategies and seldom interact with the community. You review their mission statement and find it emphasizes the professional model of crime fighting.

Questions

1. Suggest a mission statement that emphasizes the community era rather than the reform era.
2. What process would you use to develop a new mission statement? Who would you include in the process? Is it wise to order officers to accept a mission statement?
3. What changes would you introduce in policing strategies?
4. What changes would you make in the organizational structure to enable the new strategy?
5. Identify some quality-of-life issues that are not being addressed by the crime- fighting strategy of Chief Slaughter.

 

1) identify the salient arguments (reasons and claims) pro and con
2) thoughtfully analyze and evaluate major alternative points of view
3) draws warranted, judicious, non-fallacious supported conclusions.
4) justifies key results and procedures, explains assumptions and reasons
5) fair-mindedly follows where evidence and reasons lead

Consider this statement from the Neoclassical perspective or the perspective of human capital theorist. Then consider the statement from the perspective of the political economist.

Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, read Chapter 2 and 6 in Radvanovsky & McDougall (2013) and Chapter 9 in Sylves (2014). Review the Background Paper for assistance in writing this type of document.

For this assignment, you will take on the role of an expert homeland security consultant hired by the City of San Diego to assist the Utility Commission in determining how to protect the critical infrastructure sectors of the city and what changes and improvements may be necessary to prepare for risks, whether technological, natural, or intentional. In the business world, you would create a memorandum for this assignment. However, the Department of Homeland Security uses the cover page (similar to a memorandum) to very briefly summarize the attachment. The attachment (point paper, talking paper, background paper, or position paper) contains the necessary information. In keeping the assignment true to the career world, you will create the attachment instead of a memorandum. Formulate a one-page Background Paper addressed to the Mayor of the City of San Diego that addresses the following. You may wish to consult the provided example Background Paper and description as you craft your own paper.

Analyze the recognition of real and perceived threats and propose recommendations for the management of risk as necessary by the real and perceived threats identified. Propose changes and improvements that may be necessary to prepare for risks, whether technological, natural, or intentional, to protect the city’s critical infrastructure sectors. Create the Background Paper in a document format, attach it to your initial post, and submit to the forum

Watch one hour of broadcasting that is labeled “news,” and write a two-page (double -spaced) analysis of it. Use the following questions to

guide your analysis. You may include a number of questions, or just one or two in your paper. However, regardless of how many questions you

choose, your paper must have a clear thesis (main point). This thesis must be supported/illustrated with specific examples and analysis of them.

Your paper will also be graded for clarity of the writing and grammar and mechanics. Use APA documentation to cite your sources.

Television Questions: What can you tell about the priorities of the mass communication organization (network) from observing the production

What can you tell about the network’s and its advertisers’ perception of its audience from the broadcast? About the audience’s perception of
