You are recently hired as an intern to the recently promoted police chief in a medium-sized
town with a rather modest budget for law enforcement equipment. One of her primary
goals is to seek an increase in the budget for those technological items that she feels would
help your department’s officers perform their jobs in a more efficient, safe manner. For her
request, you recommended the following tools be purchased for the
officers: TASERs Improved body armor New and standardized firearms for all
officers In-car camera systems Global positioning system (GPS)
technology Improvements in computer technology Biometric softwareBecause you know
that this is a wish list and you will only get funding for some of the items on this list, she
decides to submit a written request to city council and the mayor. She wants you to publish
the correspondence. In this correspondence, you decide to respond to the following issues
to support the request: Rank, describe, and discuss the 3 items that you would select as the
most important to purchase right away, and share with your fellow students and professor
why you selected these items. What types of outside statistical data or research support
information are available to present to council and the mayor to support your decision? If
you had to remove 2 items from your wish list, which of those 2 items would you
recommend, and why (other than lack of budgetary dollars)?
