This structure is displayed by an organizational chart. Throughout your criminal justice studies you have, no doubt, been exposed to such charts. You may also easily view organizational charts by researching police agencies on-line as most have theirs posted. You need to carefully consider the needs of your citizens which will dictate the needs of your agency. You have been provided critical crime rate, demographic, historic, and economic data which you need to analyze carefully. What types of units, divisions, and bureaus are you going to create to meet these needs? You will need to explain why you are creating these entities. You will also need to identify if and what political influences or landmines you may be stepping on. For instance, if your citizens have a high level of tolerance and acceptance for adult entertainment and gambling would you really want to establish a proactive vice unit?

For this module you will need to create and post your organizational structure as well as a written explanation of your organizational structure. Creating your organizational chart will be exciting and challenging. Once this is accomplished, your blueprint for your police department will be completed. Good luck!
