Assignment:
Working within the Community
Assume that you are the chief of police in a city of 25,000 inhabitants. Overall the city is peaceful. Most people are middle income but the unemployment rate is still higher than the national average. You have found, without any advance notice, that 500 “refuge status” individuals will be settled in your city by the federal government. Other than transporting these people to your city the federal government has no plans as what to do with them once they arrive.
In a 2 to 3 page APA formatted paper describe how you would put into place a plan that would protect the rights of these individuals.
- How would you go about preparing your department and the community at large for the challenges that will be caused by this resettlement?
- List specific actions and how you would carry them out. What are the most likely and most difficult problems that may arise?
