You are a chief of a newly constructed community policing police department. You have to hire 3 new officers to fill retirement spots. Who will you hire?
What attributes would you be looking for in each candidate? Why?
What expectations would you expect from each candidate?
How would you introduce your officers to your department? To the community?
How would you help the officers develop a relationship within the department? Within the community?
What impact will your team have on your community policing organization and ultimately on society?
Consider these questions: Do you need to hire the same people with the same attributes? Do expectations differ depending on roles? Do introductions depend on specific roles and cultures?
Develop a 1-page detailed framework for the type of individuals you are looking to fill the 3 police officer positions addressing the bullet points above. It is recommended that you research the type of roles and people that are needed in a community police organization.
