Unit 7: Scenario: Investigative Plan

You are hired as a consultant in City X and are charged with the responsibility of creating a plan to deal

with the multiple daytime robbery attacks in your area. Police officers have been able to obtain limited

information for each robbery. Your first order of business is to create a draft of a strategic

operational/investigative plan to address the crimes. Your plan should be between 5 – 7 pages

(excluding title and reference pages.)

Please address the following questions in detail. Be creative and utilize any, and all, investigative

actions/resources that you can think of. Remember, you are to assemble a plan to address the crimes and

ultimately catch the individuals responsible.

1. Create and describe a list of 10 investigative steps you would take to address this situation.

2. What technological assistance would be needed to conduct this operation?

3. What measures would you take to analyze the pattern of robbery activity?

4. How would you go about synthesizing the data and coming to a conclusion based on the data?

5. What types of investigative units would you use to assist in the operation to catch the

perpetrators?

6. What supplies/equipment would you purchase to enable the investigation and operation to be

conducted? Given the fact that the money allocated for the investigation is low, what steps would you

take to procure more funds?

(PLEASE NOTE: This assignment will require outside research. Use at least three credible sources.) You may consult the Library, the internet, the textbook, other course material, and any other outside resources in supporting your task, using proper citations in APA style.
