Updating the Structure of a Police Department

Overview
You have been assigned to incorporate community policing and engagement initiatives, such as those found in Chapter 14 of Community Policing Today,
into the current departmental structure. You must include training in
these new initiatives, as an ongoing function as well as for compliance
and oversight.
The first part of the assignment requires you to identify three
specific initiatives to add to the department and then identify where
they will fit into the organizational structure. Refer to the Police Department Organizational Structure [PPTX]. You will need to explain what type of training and support will be necessary for these initiatives.
The second part of the assignment is to revamp the departments
recruitment and hiring process to attract and hire new officers who have
the necessary traits to accomplish both the traditional policing
function and the expanded community initiatives. Using the information
from Chapter 12 of your Community Policing Today text, identify the important skills needed in these new officers and describe the process you will use to evaluate these skills.
