Instructions

· To complete this Milestone Activity, read the question below and then provide your response in the comment box. In order to score a “Proficient” or “Exemplary”, your response must be thoughtful and substantive, and you must reference or cite content from this competency. Your tutorial faculty will use the rubric to determine if your post shows the depth of thought required to successfully complete this Milestone. Let’s get started.

· Review the attached Sacramento Police Department Crowd & Riot Control Manual. (Please see the attached file)

· Write a written response (1000 words) to the following prompts:

1. Identify the general purposes of the policies and discuss their quality regarding clarity and comprehensiveness. Are they clear? Are all of them articulated? Are they contradicted throughout the manual? ie. Is safety and protection the stated purpose, but law enforcement seems to be the major purpose? And so on?

2. Discuss the overall definition elements of the manual, identifying five circumstances where ambiguity might lead to policy failures. Will the reader know what everything is referring to?

3. Discuss 5 areas in chapter 1 (A,B,C,D,E, F, or G) with directives where ambiguity may be an issue, the type of directive (mandate, authorization, guideline, procedure, regulation) is not appropriate, or the directive does not rationally support the purposes of the policy.

4. Describe overall whether the policy manual can be improved for the purposes of increasing control, protection, and justice. For example: Some authorizations allow for too much discretion for officers within stressful situations. Mandates and procedures limit situations needing discretion. Guidelines are insufficient and make appropriate decisions difficult–is more direction needed. And so on.
