Begin by reviewing the Individual Project from Week 1 to ensure that you understand the assignment. Then, submit a draft of 1-2 pages of your Community Policing Proposal for your instructors review.
Week 1 recap.
Your final assignment for this course will be to create a Community Policing Proposal to a fictional community.
Your instructor will be assigning you a fictional community profile this week. You will use this profile to inform the design of your Community Policing Proposal. The final proposal will include the following elements:
A description of the community and its needs
A step-by-step implementation plan designed with the specific needs of your community in mind
A practical strategy that can be used to communicate your community policing model to the community and the law enforcement organization
Part 1
Your instructor will send you a brief description of a community. Upon receiving the community profile, create a name for your community. Provide a written description of the community and a description of the crime issue at hand. You may add unique details to the description of the community or the issue if you think it will benefit your assignment. Submit a written description of the community for which you will be creating a Community Policing Proposal.
Part 2
Describe how federal, state, and local law enforcement work together in criminal investigations. Answer the following questions:
What is the scanning, analyze, response, and assessment (SARA) model?
How does this model apply to community policing? Give 2 examples.
Can the same models for partnerships be used in every jurisdiction? Why or why not?
Part 2
Create a PowerPoint presentation of 58 slides of your Community Policing Proposal that you could present to the law enforcement agency. Include the benefits that will manifest as a result of employing this plan. The presentation should demonstrate your knowledge of the community as well as a practical means for communicating the plan to the members of the police department and the community.
