You are required to write a professional-style memo (400-600 words) on a problem facing a hypothetical police department, and your proposed solutions. You may take the perspective of any stakeholder (a concerned individual, an organizational representative, or a member of a particular interest group) and can address your memo to any party who may influence, or be influenced by, police activity. You can ground this memo in any historical period (including, but not limited to, the Prohibition period, the Civil Rights era, the 1990s crime drop, etc.) .
If writing from a perspective other than a contemporary one, please draw from the material presented in weeks 2 and 3, and/or related sources.
If writing from a contemporary perspective, please be sure to ground your hypothetical problem in at least one of the theoretical frameworks presented in weeks 4 and 5)
A professional memo is meant to communicate information succinctly, often with the goal of achieving a specific desired outcome. It’s important for this message to be targeted to your intended audience, and for the sender’s perspective and voice to be made clear. The problem you describe may be experienced at the individual level (e.g., “I was subjected to excessive force in a police stop.”) or an institutional level (e.g., “Our police department is facing an officer shortage.”) but the suggested solutions should be appropriate to the nature of the problem.
