· Military Equipment for Local Law Enforcement
Competencies Addressed in This Assignment
· Competency 3: Articulate how terrorism impacts policy and
operations of law enforcement in America.
· Competency 5: Communicate effectively in a variety of
formats.
Overview
During your past briefings to Chief Glen Edwards, several in
the command staff have mentioned the need in the department
for more equipment. Your readings and investigation into the
response to terrorism have led you to understand that the federal
government has programs where local police agencies can
obtain equipment. The chief understands that there are benefits
and problems with any choice, so he has asked you to create a
presentation for the command staff. He wants it to address the
benefits they should expect, as well as the problems this
equipment can bring with it.
Instructions
Create a PowerPoint presentation for the command staff that
includes the following components:
· Specify three types of military equipment or arms that are
available through the federal government for local law
enforcement.
· Contrast two positive and negative results associated with
types of military equipment or arms that are available through
the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Describe negative images caused by types of military
equipment or arms that are available through the federal
government for local law enforcement.
· Explain why the public may have concerns about the negative
images this military equipment or arms may cause (for example,
in the perception of the militarization of the police).
Requirements
· Length: Include an introduction slide, 8â€“10 information

slides, and a references slide.
· References: Include 3â€“4 scholarly references in APA
format.
You are required to submit your assignment to Turnitin. Once

U.S.
In Detroit’s 2-Speed Recovery, Downtown

Roars and Neighborhoods Sputter
By PETER APPLEBOME AUG. 12, 2016
DETROIT — Donald J. Trump alighted here Monday. He saw an
urban dystopia of
poverty, crime and blight, “the living, breathing example of my
opponent’s failed
economic agenda.” Hillary Clinton arrived Thursday. Speaking
in suburban Warren,
she saw an upbeat comeback story of grit and innovation. “I just
wish my opponent
in this election saw the same Michigan I do,” she said.
Detroit used to be a pretty clear story. It was a symbol of
American economic
might and then it was a symbol of American urban ruin. But in a
place not given to
deep philosophizing — where the literary canon is defined by
the razor-edged crime
novels of Elmore Leonard — almost no one here seems entirely
sure what to make of
this moment’s Detroit.
There is a building boom, bustling sports stadiums and upscale
signifiers like
the Whole Foods Market or the Shake Shack opening soon that
are transforming the
areas in and around Detroit’s once desolate downtown. Hipster
outposts in Midtown
and Corktown are drawing young people from the suburbs and
afar. The swift exit in
2014 from the city’s traumatic bankruptcy has been followed,
almost everyone
agrees, by significant progress on improving city services long
deemed hopeless.

But what that means for the rest of the city and who is
benefiting have set in
motion a layered conversation about development, equity, race
and class. It is
playing out with particular force here in what was once the
nation’s fourth-largest
city and is now a place at once grappling with poverty, crime
and failing schools, but
also still animated by the bones of its former glory.
The signs of progress in the city’s core are hard to miss.
Consider the Metropolitan
Building, once home to Detroit’s jewelers and watchmakers. It
has stood vacant, like
a ruined medieval castle, since the 1970s, and is now one of
dozens of downtown
buildings being restored.
“That encapsulates where Detroit is now,” said David
Blaszkiewicz, president of
Invest Detroit, a nonprofit that has invested $251 million in
financing for the
Metropolitan and other real estate and business projects over the
past 20 years. “We
can make things happen today that we couldn’t make happen for
the past three or
four decades.”

The lack of progress is just as noticeable in the sprawl of often
dilapidated
neighborhoods, baking in the summer heat.
At Maison’s Fine Food Diner on Detroit’s East Side, the city’s
resurgence seems
as distant as the Alps. Yellowing sports memorabilia dating to
the boxer Thomas
“Hitman” Hearns decorates the wall, along with a faded sign
reading: “Out of a job
yet? Keep buying foreign.”
“Downtown is 90 percent better than it was 10 years ago, but
you go a few
blocks in any direction, and it’s terrible,” said Lulzim Shaqiri,
whose wife’s family
has owned the restaurant since 1983. “You can talk about
helping the
neighborhoods, but there’s really no neighborhood at all here.
It’s just as dead as
dead can be.”
Tonya Banks, one of the waitresses, added: “In Detroit,
everyone’s on defense.
There’s not enough to go around, so everyone’s against each
other.”
There are similar concerns throughout Detroit’s neighborhoods.
“There have
been so many broken promises,” said Sarida Scott, the executive
director of

3/5
Community Development Advocates of Detroit, which
represents neighborhood
groups. “People remember when they were told to just trust. It’s
not fair to keep
going to the community and saying trust us.”
Mayor Mike Duggan, who became Detroit’s first white mayor in
40 years when
he was elected in 2013 and presided over the city’s emergence
from 17 months in
bankruptcy, ran on the platform of “Every neighborhood has a
future.” He says he is
delivering on the promise.
“People in this city understand where we are and where we are
going,” he said.
“This city went from 1.8 million people in the 1950s to less
than 700,000 now.
There’s been a 60-year decline, where we lost more than a
million people, and those
people who left didn’t take their houses with them. So, the
magnitude of what we’re
recovering from is enormous, but the recovery has started.”
There is ample evidence that he is right. No one doubts how
serious the
problems are from the disastrous state of the schools to the
threadbare transit
system to the challenges of adding enough jobs to fuel a
sustainable recovery. But
more than 10,000 blighted properties have been demolished,
removing dangerous

eyesores and usually allowing neighbors to buy the vacant lots
for $100. An
additional 2,000 homes are being rehabilitated and reoccupied.
There are about 5,000 new housing units either planned for
construction or
being built. Housing prices have ticked up, and the city’s toxic
foreclosure problem
shows signs of improving.
In a city notorious for not even being able to even light its
streets, more than
62,000 new LED street lamps have been installed. Officials say
the whole city will be
relit by the end of the year. And the most recent Census Bureau
estimate showed the
smallest population decline in decades. Officials predict that
next year’s figures will
show a population gain.
Many people are buying in. Seven years ago, Dave Kwiatkowski
opened the
Sugar House craft cocktails bar in the Corktown neighborhood.
Now, he runs four
other bars or restaurants, with another, The Bad Luck Bar,
expected to open in the
4/5
revitalized Capitol Park area downtown this fall. He said 35

restaurants were set to
open in Detroit within the next 18 months.
Mr. Kwiatkowski, who is white and grew up in suburban
Detroit, said he wanted
to be a part of the city’s rebirth. “It was time to put my money
where my mouth is,”
he said. “Also, Detroit’s cool. There are easier cities to live in,
with more
conveniences or whatever, but people who live in Detroit
choose to live in Detroit
and are excited to. It makes for a very cool vibe.”
Others have their doubts. Eric Thomas, who is black and a
partner at a local
marketing firm, caused a stir in May with a barbed post entitled
“Why I Hate
Detroit,” which began on his LinkedIn page and then went viral.
His focus was the
lousy schools, the lack of opportunity for the majority of the
city and the weird way
the resurgence in relatively privileged warrens, about 5 percent
of the city’s 140
square miles, is seen as a proxy for the city as a whole.
“To say you love 5% of Detroit is like ordering a hamburger,
eating the sesame
seeds on the bun, and claiming you love hamburgers,” he wrote.
“No sir, you like
sesame seeds. You love the Tigers. You love 4 miles of
Woodward. But Detroit is not
what you love.”
James Feagin loves Detroit. He is a linebacker-size black man
in a white T-shirt,
Tigers cap and cargo shorts driving a red Dodge pickup and

preaching the grass-
roots path to economic renewal. On Thursday he was at Motor
City Match, where
about 60 aspiring business owners and building owners got
together to see what
they had to offer one another. It is part of a program that has
invested $2 million
over the past year to jump-start 40 businesses, most minority-
owned, including a
vegan soul food restaurant, a family-run butcher shop and a
company that trains
people for construction jobs.
Mr. Feagin works to foster development through the nonprofit
Detroit
Economic Growth Corporation, and plans to move forward on
his own $15 million
development — townhouses, apartments and lofts with a
neighborhood art gallery
that is already open down the street from an abandoned Chinese
restaurant that
looks like a wrecked amusement park ride.
5/5
He is impatient with all the narratives about Detroit that do not
begin and end
with the thought that Detroit and all its far-flung tendrils really
matter. It was once a

great city that fostered an enormous black middle class, most of
whom have stuck
around through the bad times and expect to be part of Detroit’s
next act.
“We’re a bit spoiled in Detroit, because we have been an
African-American
community that has prospered, has had safe neighborhoods, that
has expected
success,” he said. “I’m not thinking about some imaginary
utopia. I want my
childhood for my child in my city, and I’m not willing to be
limited by talk about how
things are in the rest of America. I don’t want Detroit to be like
the rest of America. I
want Detroit to be like Detroit.”
