Assignment 3: Leadership Personal Issues and the Rules of Law
Due Week 8 and worth 200 points
Law enforcement in America has seen drastic changes over the
past one hundred years, from the educational requirements of
officers to the interpretation of the Bill of Rights. Law
enforcement officers today are expected to perform their duties
at a very high level of professionalism and morality.

6. Unfortunately, when officers don't perform at this high level, it
is their commanders who ultimately may be held responsible for
their actions. Use your textbook, the Internet, and/or Strayer
Library (https://research.strayer.edu) to research credible
sources on the aforementioned issues as they relate to law
enforcement operations and management.
Write a 5- to 7-page paper in which you explore the constraints
on the police in democratic societies and assess the management
and leadership challenges. Cite real-world examples to
strengthen your discussion and illustrate your points. Address
following in your paper:Examine the change in requirements
that police hiring agencies have had for potential candidates
over the last 50 years and discuss the effects on law
enforcement organizations. Support or critique the current
requirements. Examine two areas in which federal courts have
placed limits on officer's constitutional rights due to the nature
of their work and explain the reasoning. Identify three
constraints placed on law enforcement and examine how these
constraints affect how law enforcement conducts their
operations. Examine two current events in which police
supervisors were held criminally liable for their officers'
misconduct and explain the reasons why. Use at least four
quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not
qualify as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:Be
typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12),
with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references
should follow the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). This format
is different than other Strayer University Courses. Please take a
moment to review the SWS documentation for details. Check
with your professor for any additional instructions. Include a
cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's
name, the professor's name, the course title, and the date. The
cover page and the reference page are not included in the
required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this

7. assignment are:Illustrate the constraints on the police in
democratic societies to include personal issues and practices,
the rule of law, general principles of accountability, ethics, and
civil liability. Assess management and leadership challenges in
police organizations and recommend solutions that foster an
ethical work environment. Use technology and information
resources to research issues in law enforcement operations and
management. Write clearly and concisely about law enforcement
operations and management using proper writing mechanics.
