Paper instructions:
Students will select a critical event involving a law enforcement agency at any time in U.S. history. Students will contrast/compare the event against the failures identified in the first half of the semester readings. (The examples used in the textbook may not be used). Students will collect data to identify and support their discussion on the failures associated with the event. If some failures are not present in the event the student should explain why. Students will fully discuss the failures and address how the failures originated and the results and impact of the failures on the police department and the community. Discuss how leadership (or lack of) directly impacted the outcome of the event. Make sure you identify and discuss the specific decisions, procedures and policies that occurred before, during and after the event. Students will discuss how the failures might have been prevented and solutions for preventing such failures in the future. The Mid-Term Examination will be an evaluation of the student’s ability to correlate and discuss in a critical manner the issues of Police Administration identified in the readings to a real life example. The paper will be approximately 15 pages and in APA format with a Title Page, Reference Page, Abstract, Introduction and use of headings and sub-headings. The mid term should use at a minimum 5 references not including the textbook. The mid term will constitute 40% of a student’s overall semester grade.

Comments from Customer
I was looking at the topic of the Protest on the Crescent City Connection Bridge in New Orleans. The protest occurred on June 3 or 4, 2020. Or a Police pursuit which occurred in New Orleans which ended in several fatalities at Unity One Beauty Salon. This occurred on March 20, 2019.
