Metro Police Dept

Issues/Challenges: Here’s a brief outline of issues that I took from our scenario. Feel free to add others

that I may have missed.

• Public is unhappy with the abusive mistreatment by police officers.

• Authoritarian style: encourage paramilitary values and a “them-against-us attitude”; efficient

and intolerant; aloof and highly professional

• No training in dealing with people; interpersonal skills are lacking

• Costing taxpayers and the city money due to large lawsuits by minority groups; racial profiling;

lack of cultural diversity training/awareness

• Chief of police (COP) is a major part of the problem; defending the harsh tactics by police

officers; provides little communication with public about allegations of abuse

• COP Discourages community-oriented policing; people-friendly attitudes

• COP has been accused of making disapproving remarks towards minorities: women, Hispanics

and African-Americans
