You are the chief of police of a suburban agency with 50,000 residents.Twenty years ago—before you had even joined the department as a patrol officer—the previous chief had created four community policing specialist positions. He divided the city into quadrants, assigning a specialist to each. The police department, city manager, city council, and citizens in general have been satisfied with the contribution of the community policing specialist roles, and strongly desire to continue those roles. However, a disturbing trend has developed since the last election, which saw a two-thirds turnover in city council seats. New council members have taken to directly calling the respective community policing specialists as a problem arises in their ward. Although this has led to quick resolution of some problems, issues have arisen with regard to some requests. You are aware that most police chiefs require all requests from city council members to come through their office. List the pros and cons of allowing city council members to directly contact “their” community policing specialists. Identify briefly the policy alternatives available to you as chief of police.
