Assignment 5
Hi Prof. Dan,
This assignment is just a continuation of assignment 3 & 4 that you completed for me on Repeat Offenders and the solutions that I am incorporating which are education, treatment, and guaranteed job placement. I also thought about incorporating an alternative sentencing home which could be an alternative to prison while the offender completes the three phases. This assignment focuses on the financial aspect of the project and is a power point. If you do not have copies of the past assignments you’ve done and need to see them let me know. Thank you so much for your help.
As the Finance Director of the local police department, you are requested to prepare a presentation for the funding of your solution during the annual budget hearing of the city council. It is important that you include all costs associated with the solution as the city council does not provide additional funding if the actual cost would exceed the proposed cost. If additional costs would arise, it could result in the failure of the solution. Estimate the costs associated with the implementation of your proposed solution and focus on the following:
· Provide a cost estimate for the solution. Use a table or spreadsheet format to display your numerical estimates.
· Identify factors that could increase the estimated costs.
· Present examples why your proposal is cost effective.
· Research state and federal sources of funding for your solution.
Incorporate appropriate animations, photos, tables, spread sheets and graphics for each slide.
Support your presentation with at least three (3) scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.
Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide), plus chart or Excel spreadsheet
Notes Length: 100-150 words for each slide

1. Assignment 5
Hi Prof. Dan,
This assignment is just a continuation of assignment 3 & 4 that
you completed for me on Repeat Offenders and the solutions
that I am incorporating which are education, treatment, and
guaranteed job placement. I also thought about incorporating an
alternative sentencing home which could be an alternative to
prison while the offender completes the three phases. This
assignment focuses on the financial aspect of the project and is
a power point. If you do not have copies of the past assignments
you’ve done and need to see them let me know. Thank you so
much for your help.
As the Finance Director of the local police department, you are
requested to prepare a presentation for the funding of your
solution during the annual budget hearing of the city council. It
is important that you include all costs associated with the
solution as the city council does not provide additional funding
if the actual cost would exceed the proposed cost. If additional
costs would arise, it could result in the failure of the solution.
Estimate the costs associated with the implementation of your
proposed solution and focus on the following:
· Provide a cost estimate for the solution. Use a table or
spreadsheet format to display your numerical estimates.
· Identify factors that could increase the estimated costs.
· Present examples why your proposal is cost effective.
· Research state and federal sources of funding for your

increasing or decreasing. What factors could be attributed to the
change?
· Discuss the communication techniques/methods utilized to
inform the staff of the adverse event.
· Describe at least two operational or safety processes that
might not have been followed that contributed or caused this
event to take place. For instance, describe any regulations or
procedures that the professional organization and/or accrediting
agency measures compliance with the standard.
· Graph two years of data for your selected adverse event and
analyze the data by determining if the frequency is increasing or
decreasing.

8. Part Three: Future Prevention (Complete Part Three of
the Adverse Event template)
After describing the event in Part One and using a CQI tool in
Part Two, apply the PDCA model to summarize the process and
steps that your team would recommend to the CEO to prevent
this adverse event from reoccurring. Make sure to include who
(health care personnel) would be accountable at each step of the
process. Complete the Explanation column in Part 3 of the
