Assignment:
Police Community Relations
Often, the community in which the police work is not accepting of the police or authority, making the police officer’s job more difficult.
Identify and discuss the barriers to a good police-community relationship. How would you avoid these issues or work to resolve them if you were a police administrator? How would you avoid these issues or work to resolve them if you were head of a federal agency, state agency, sheriff’s office, or a municipal agency? (In addition to answering from a police administrator’s perspective, answer from the perspective of two of the aforementioned agencies.) Would your techniques be different for each type of agency? How and why?
Your answer must be 250 to 300 words in length. Your claims must be supported by the text and/or other academic resources.
