Assignment 5: BWC Policy
This week’s lesson invites you to take one of two positions; you can be in favor of the BWC policy and program, or you can be against it. You must choose to analyze this program from a legislator’s point of view or as a chief of police; either one is fine.
Regardless of which position you choose, you will be speaking about the document and creating a point of view. As you write the paper, you must talk to the people you represent and convey your idea clearly and convincingly. Remember to use the B.L.U.F. principles as you attempt to convey your thoughts; you want to capture the audience but not lose them with too many details. This is a hypothetical project; you can add information or create facts. With that being stated, it is imperative that you pull data from the attached policy and speak about the facts contained within.
The following information must be contained within your document:
Pros and Cons of the program
Outside supporting data
Future concerns
Trends within the LE community
Liability concerns
Financial obligations
Corrections/additions needed within the current BWC policy
