Assignment:
Professional Standards and Operational Effectiveness
Question 1. How do professional standards relate to operational effectiveness for police?
Within policing, professional standards should be common sense, though we routinely hear of incidents in which these lack. Most recently, the Secret Service White House detail is scrutinized (though the current issue is not their first in recent history).
Question 2. What is the administrator's role in enforcing professional standards?
Question 3. What role should the public hold regarding oversight of policing practices and operations? Why?
