Week 3 Discussion

 Please respond to the following:

Review “NYPD’s Counterterrorism Division,” in Chapter 9 of Managing the Public Sector.

• Dickey is sharply critical of “the dangerously ill-conceived, mismanaged, and highly militarized global war on terror” and sees the success of the NYPD’s counterterrorism program as offering an alternative approach. Recommend 1–2 actions you would take to implement a different plan from Dickey and/or Kelly.

Review “Problems and Applications," in Chapter 9 of Managing the Public Sector, and respond to Scenario 2 about smuggling drugs.

• Assume that you are on Commissioner Lane’s team. Recommend 1–2 alternatives to the plan described, and explain how you will evaluate the success of each recommendation.
