CJ 650 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview Today, criminal justice agencies are struggling to contend with various pressures that are driving employees to work harder w ith fewer resources, such as shrinking budgets, political pressures, liability costs, and fluctuating crime trends. All of this is happening while agencies try to meet the needs of their biggest stakeholder, the public. For example, there has been increased public demand for criminal justice reform through agency trans parency and accountability. As managers and leaders inside these organizations, public safety administrators must apply business practices, leadership and management principles, and technological innovations to provide the public with quality service. Specifically, public service administrators are called upon to create actionable goals and objectives, long-term organizational strategies that support these goals and objectives, and tactical responses to address unforeseen scenario s both ethically and professionally. For this assessment, you will assume the role of a public safety administrator for an organization you will select from the Final Project Scenarios document. You will have two different tasks that will result in two separate submissions. For Part A, you will need to review background information explaining the context and community within which your organization operates, as well as the current challenges it faces. Based on this information and what you have learned about effective and ethical management, you will determine a viable organizational strategy that will address the needs of the community while accounting for fiscal and operational constraints. You will articulate this big-picture strategy in an organizational strategy proposal. Then, in Part B, you will address a crisis scenario that will require you to draw upon your leadership skills in order to adapt and respond to a specific emergency. You will com municate this in a crisis response plan. The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Five and Seven. Both parts of the final project will be submitted in Module Nine. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:      Determine effective resource allocation for meeting the fiscal and personnel needs of public safety organizations Make recommendations for fostering ethically sound and socially responsible decision making by leadership and personnel in pu blic safety organizations Develop long-term organizational strategies for guiding the actions of public safety institutions in meeting community needs Create specific, tactical plans that allow public safety organizations to adapt to and address crisis situations Communicate effectively and transparently within public safety organizations and to the communities that the organizations serve 1 Final Project Part A Your organizational strategy proposal should answer the following question: How can your public safety organization effectively and ethically balance the needs of the community within the financial and operational realities? Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Introduction a) Briefly summarize the background information needed for understanding the proposal. Describe the current state of the organization and the problems it faces. What are the major needs of the community it serves? What are the fiscal and operational realities at play? b) Then, articulate the guiding principles of your strategy. What are the mission and vision of the organization? What are the current goals and objectives? To what extent should these be modified in the longer term to secure the solvency and effectiveness of the organization? II. Financial Strategy a) In the near term, how should the organization allocate its financial resources? How should funds be relatively apportioned among the various departments or other line items? Justify your proposed distributions by citi ng specific evidence that shows how they will support the organization’s current goals and objectives. b) Make recommendations regarding how the organization will stay financially solvent while continuing to meet the long-term needs of the community. Justify your recommendations by citing specific evidence that shows how they will support your proposed longer-term goals and objectives. III. Personnel Development Strategy: Outline a strategy for training and developing personnel so that the organization will continually improve in meeting the community’s needs. Specifically, discuss how your recommended personnel development strategy will foster ethically sound and socially responsible decision making on the part of both leadership and staff. Justify your proposal by citing specific evidence showing how it will support the current and long-term goals and objectives of the organization. IV. Community Relations Strategy a) Explain how the organization will achieve a positive and productive relationship with the public that it serves. For example, how can the organization anticipate and react to social issues that might arise within the community? How can the organization limit its liability while still fully addressing the needs of the public? Justify your response by citing specific evidence that shows how your strategy will support the goals and objectives of the organization. 2 b) Additionally, make recommendations for how the organization will maintain appropriate and transparent communication with the diverse members of the community. For example, how will the organization operate on social media? Justify your response by citing specific evidence that shows how your strategy will support the goals and objectives of the organization. V. Implementation: Finally, identify ways for leadership to responsibly implement each of your proposed strategies. Consider potential ethical dilemmas or other challenges that may be faced in executing the strategy and provide specific measures to deal with each. Final Project Part B Your crisis response plan should answer the following question: How should your organization adapt to address the given emergency while still advancing the goals and objectives outlined in your organizational strategy proposal? Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Situational Analysis: Dissect the crisis scenario to isolate the specific problems that must be addressed. Identify root causes and any other rel evant factors that can be used in creating your response tactics. Finally, organize each problem into a hierarchy of importance for effectively prioritizing the response efforts. II. Response Plan a) Based on your situational analysis, propose specific response tactics that your organization can reasonably and effectively apply to address the given situation, including all of the component problems that you identified in your analysis. Additionally, determine contin gency options that can be used if you run into obstacles for each of the response tactics that you propose. b) Justify why your plan is the best course of action for addressing the crisis situation by citing specific evidence of how it would mo st effectively address the crisis while still meeting the goals and objectives of the organization. III. Impacts to Organizational Strategy a) Financial Impacts: Explain how this crisis response plan will impact the organization’s allocation of resources as described in your organizational strategy proposal. How will the plan account for these impacts while still advancing the organizational goals and objectives? b) Impacts to Personnel: i. Explain how you will communicate the crisis response plan to members of the organization in a timely and appropriate manner. How well does this align with your organizational strategy for training personnel? 3 ii.

Milestones Milestone One: Draft of Organizational Strategy Proposal In Module Five, you will complete a draft of your organizational strategy proposal for Part A of the final project. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone One Rubric. Milestone Two: Draft of Crisis Response Plan In Module Seven, you will create a draft of the crisis response plan for Part B of your final project. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Two Rubric.
