Assignment
You are a recently promoted police chief in a medium-sized town with a rather modest budget for law enforcement equipment. One of your primary goals is to seek an increase in the budget for those technological items that you feel would help your department’s officers perform their jobs in a more efficient, safe manner. In your request, you recommended the following tools be purchased for your officers:
· Tasers
· Improved body armor
· New and standardized firearms for all officers
· In-car camera systems
· GPS technology
· Improvements in computer technology
· Biometric software
Because you know this is a “wish list” and you will only get funding for some of the items on this list, you decide to submit a written request to city council and the mayor.
