One major change in policing over the past several decades is the way that the internet and social media have contributed to the openness and accessibility of police agencies, as well as providing more transparency to their internal affairs.
Search the internet for a police department that provides information about their Internal Affairs process. How would you rate this department on a scale of 1-10 (10 being excellent) from what was learned in the module readings? What suggestions for improvement would you make? It will be interesting to see how the examples you share differ.
