Police agencies

Police agencies are structured organizations that rely on successful management strategies to operate efficiently. In a 2–3 page paper, using APA 6th edition format, discuss the organizational design of modern police agencies. Also, describe the recruitment and training process for new officers. You can provide a specific example of your local agency recruitment process as an example. At least three sources are required.

The individual paper is worth up to 125 points toward the final grade and will be graded according to the rubric in the online classroom. In-text source citations, as well as your reference list, should both be in alignment with APA 6th edition citation form and style.
