Paper details:
Many police agencies struggle to find qualified applicants. Every law enforcement agency, like any other
organization, wants to hire the best police officers they can find. For this assignment, you will assume the
role of the police chief. Your mission is to hire the most qualified police officers. You must research this topic
and determine the attributes of the best police officers and then apply those attributes to your hiring process.
The bulk of your paper should be your research into this topic. In the summary paragraph of your paper you
should state: Based on my research the ideal candidate will be or something like that. It is very important
that what you conclude in your summary is supported by your research listed within your paper. Do not
include your opinion of what you think are the attributes of a good police officer-I want to see your research. I
also do not want to know the details of your hiring process, merely what attributes you would look for in the
candidates you would eventually hire. Your paper will be at least three pages of text, so you will have a total
of at least five pages including your cover page and reference page. Your paper must be in APA format and if
you need a copy of a properly formatted APA paper, please email me and I will send you one. You will also find
information regarding APA formatting under the resources tab in the classroom. If you have questions please
ask.
