Discussion #1

Your last reading includes the following concept:

"While a suitable solution may solve the problem, it may not work if resources aren't available, if people won't accept it, or if it causes new problems."

Describe a situation where the most obvious solution is not acceptable due to resources, acceptance, or outcomes that create new issues.

Discussion #2 ( below a student asked the professor for clarification on this discussion, I copied and pasted there conversation for you)

Develop a process model for analysis in addressing public safety administration challenges.

Here is a question a student asked the professor about the process model in case you needed more insight.

Student:

For the process model discussion (Week Four Discussion Two) are you wanting us to post a graphic representation of a process model, or can we type it out in order of steps (i.e., 1, 2, 3, etc.)? Thank you!

Professor:

what I'm hoping to see is a description of a process model (basically describing the flow of the process from beginning to end). A digital image of the process model you choose is also good but I want to see that you understand how the process model can be used in a problem solving/decision-making process.

I hope this helps...let me know if you need to talk it through with me or need anything else from me on this or anything else.

Student:

I believe I understand. I was wanting to use a process model that would describe/list the steps in making strategic plans. Would that be okay?

Professor:

It sound like what I'm looking for...thanks for checking.
