rational policy-making approach

A common rational policy-making approach involves the formulation of logic models. The purpose of this assignment is to gain an understanding of the best ways to evaluate the performance of an entire organization. By developing a logic model for an organization, we can better determine the goals of the organization and whether they meet the demands of the constituent stakeholders. The most effective evaluation models are those that properly align the needs of the constituent stakeholders with the desired outcomes and measurable outputs of the organization. 

First, select a law enforcement agency of your choice. The organization can be your current employer, your school’s security department, or any other law enforcement agency that you are familiar with. 

 Next, follow the steps by fully completing Worksheet for Building Logic Models (Template 1). Then transpose the information onto Logic Model Template 2. Submit both templates to the Assignment Dropbox. 

In developing your logic model, you must follow the following steps in order: 

•    Determine the needs of the stakeholders. 

•    Develop the desired outcomes. 

•    Determine the available inputs. 

•    Determine the activities. 

•    Develop the outputs. 

•    Develop the goals. 

Your response must be written at the graduate level and cited properly according to APA style guidelines. 

You must submit and post this written assignment in two (2) places: submit to the Assignment box and post on the Written Assignment Discussion Board. The Assignment box maybe linked to Turnitin.
