you will create a portfolio that documents your success in meeting course goals. This portfolio project is the capstone project for the course; please construct a high- quality portfolio that effectively documents your achievements in this course.Your Portfolio should be organized into three main sections:Analytical Skill Building:To what extent has your work in this course helped you to improve your critical reading, writing, and thinking skills?Knowledge Acquisition:To what extent have you gained knowledge of important concepts, ideas, and perspectives through your study of the humanities? Remember to include a discussion of ethical theories that you have studied.Practical Application:To what extent have you learned how to connect course material to contemporary society and to your own life?Each section of your portfolio should include a narrative assessment that gives your honest and incisive reflections on your progress in these areas. Your comments should include both an overall evaluation and reflective comments about your progress. For example, in the first section you might describe exactly how much your writing skills have improved this term, and then you might discuss the work habits that contributed to your success. Your discussion should be objective and balanced; for example, if there are factors that have made it difficult for you to achieve a certain course goal, you should include them in your reflections.Each section of your portfolio should also include specific evidence that documents your reflective narrative. For example, if you believe that your writing skills have improved, you might want to document this observation with examples of weaker writing from your first paper alongside examples of stronger writing from later papers. Likewise, if you observe that you took the writing process very seriously, you might want to document this by including examples of outlines, rough drafts, rewrites, etc.The documentary evidence you include in your portfolio can be anything related to the course: papers, discussion postings, seminar interactions, your own notes or reading diary, course-related email, etc. You do not need to have evidence to back up every point you include in your reflections, but you should include evidence that documents the most important claims you make.You have two options for synthesizing your narrative evaluation and documentary evidence. One option is to give the narrative and then give a separate listing of evidence. If you do this, you will need to carefully organize your presentation of evidence so that it is clear to your reader which items of evidence relate to which claims in your narrative. The second option is to integrate documentary evidence into your narrative.There is no absolute length requirement; your job is to do what it takes to present clear and effective narratives and documentary evidence in all three of the areas listed above. This is a challenging task, and it will involve a significant, well-thought-out submission. For example, if you plan to submit your portfolio as a Word document, your narratives plus documentary evidence would likely require at least 3–4 pages per section, or around 9–12 pages total. However, this is only an estimate; getting the job done in fewer pages is fine.

is this on the right track? In the chapter it talked about performance evaluations and productivity please make any change you feel necessary Productivity and Evaluation in the Police Department Write a response to the following prompt: What are the characteristics of today’s productive police department?Describe how evaluation criteria employed in the traditional policing model, such as crime rates, clearance rates, and response times, have been problematic when applied to the community oriented policing and problem solving strategy. Provide at least two solutions to this.Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s), and properly cite any references.Effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and accountability are guiding principles (Peak, Gaines & Glensor. 2010, p. 169). When delivering a productive police department. As noted in Peak, Gaines, & Glensor (2010) Productivity is best accomplished through a team effort with management, supervisors, and officers working to provide services to the community (p.191).Policing has gone under several revolutions over time. These changes are due to the need to provide exceptional and extemporary security and safety services to the people they serve either in the community or in a certain region as a whole. Hence, the modern successful police department needs to show certain characteristic that defines their success.First, a successful police department in modern law enforcement needs to be transparency in all its endeavors. The police department puts the public trust at a higher notch only when the officers are involves in transparent activities (Gaines and Worrall, 2012). The police department must impose some directives to ensure that it gives relevant information to the public and conduct scrutiny to ascertain any allegations. On the same course, the police department has to have high level of accountability since the department has, at all cost, to maintain the high ethical standards. It must ensure that officers acts responsibly. Additionally, the police department has to ensure that it design applicable ways to reach the community. A community outreach characteristic defines the success of the police department. Another characteristic is that a successful police department needs to have a plan and clear expectations that guides the officers to work as expected and preserve the police conduct. Applying crime rates, arrests and citations, clearances and response time played a key role in traditional policing. However, in modern problem oriented community policing strategy, these must be a challenge especially because now we only need to measure the quality of the services and adequacy levels (Wadman, 2009). There are several flaws in the traditional measures and were not broader and inclusive as in the modern community policing. Community policing measures are more demanding and require much involvement than the traditional.Managers and commanders, on the other hand, must assist in the development of programs and strategies that result in officers being able to accomplish goals and objectivesReferencesGaines, L.
