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.
