Policing in the United States has a rich and deep history shaped by critical events. Think about the diversity in the types of law enforcement agencies and their unique histories as you make your selections.

• Select 2 historical events, and describe how these events influenced the development of modern policing in a specific agency.
• Discuss a recent event, from within the last 5 years, and how you feel it will have a significant impact on the agency.

Review the events selected by your classmates. Provide an additional point that might strengthen their selection.
