Description

Organizational Budget Plan

For this assignment, you will develop an organizational budget plan utilizing your choice of budget reports. Although your Organizational Budget Plan will be professionally relevant, it will be structured according to established academic guidelines and will contain an introduction, literature review, budgetary line items, discussion, and conclusion.

You will take on the role of the chief operating officer for either the San Diego, California Police Department or the California Department of Corrections. In this role, you have been called upon to cut your agency's operating costs by 25%. Your tasks are to decide where costs should be cut, rationalize your decisions based on available literature, and draft an appropriate budget plan outlining your decisions. Your budget plan should allow the organization to function adequately and provide the necessary public service required of its mission statement.

You will be using the budget report you chose for your Week Three Annotated Literature Review assignment. Based on your previous selection, you will create your budget plan. (The literature you researched in Week Three should be used to support this assignment as well.) When considering your chosen report, keep in mind that the total operating budget for your respective agency must be cut by the requisite 25%. The resulting amount will be the total available funding for your agency for the upcoming fiscal year.

Do not create an entirely new budget. Your task is to take the funds available for your agency for the upcoming fiscal year and provide a rationale for the cuts you decide upon and how the money will be reallocated among the budgetary line items.

The following headings and content must be included in the budget plan.

Literature Review
For this section of your plan, you must research and include a minimum of nine scholarly and/or professional resources (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. published within the last 10 years in addition to your course text. You are encouraged to review your instructor feedback and include the work you completed in the Week Three Annotated Literature Review assignment.

  • Explain the basic elements of decision-making and public finance in law enforcement or correctional organizations in general. Define and describe what is meant by the terms: strategic management, quality management, operations management, and project management. Explain the distinctions between qualitative versus quantitative decision-making and describe various ways both styles of decision-making are important for a criminal justice organization.
  • Examine the management philosophy of Henri Fayol (1917) and briefly describe the ways planning, organizing, leading, controlling, and coordinating impact an agency's budgetary considerations. Apply these theoretical concepts of management and leadership to your chosen agency’s budgetary reduction and explain how these considerations reflect strategic management practices.
  • Explain the basic premises of budget management and preparation as they pertain to the type of agency you chose (either law enforcement or corrections). Provide a detailed explanation of the nuances of budget management and preparation that are unique to your chosen agency.

The format of the budget should mirror that of the chosen budget report and include both table and narrative sections. Charts and graphs are encouraged; however, images of people and items should not be included in your budget. The various budgeted requirements for your organization are provided in your chosen budget report. You must take into consideration the unique requirements of your chosen organization and provide a logical reallocation of funds where necessary. You must provide a thorough rationale for each reallocation.

Discussion and Conclusion

ORGANIZATIONAL BUDGET PLAN
Literature Review
Elements of decision making in a law enforcement agencies include reliable systems of
information, risk assessment tools, strategic short and long-term goals and process diagrams.
They provide vital information which law enforcement agencies can use in making decisions and
improve the overall performance of the agency. In any organization, process diagrams are used
to demonstrate the stages involved in the production of product or services. Similarly, in a law
enforcement agency, a process diagram is an essential element which is used to show reference
points on how to implement and enforce laws (Wu, 2018). The process diagram is like a simple
flowchart that reveals the steps taken in observing adherence to the law, but the complexity of
this diagram is in creating them. It involves views and inputs from various stakeholders involved
in the lawmaking processes. In general, process diagrams are used to enable the understanding of
complex processes within the law enforcement agency. Also, it can use in identifying potential
issues that can arise in the enforcing of laws within the agency as well as provide a basis for
correct law enforcement practices.
For law enforcement agencies to be effective and efficient, a reliable system of
information needs to be put in place in order to facilitate detailed decision making. Information
systems such as crime analysis systems is an effective tool in decision making within a law
enforcement agency. It uses computer-aided crime analysis to study property, violence and drugrelated crimes (Moutinho, 2018). Moreover, it uses a mapping and analysis tool in making
decisions that impact a wide range of socio-economic and political implications for law
enforcement agencies. The agencies obtain sources of information that is useful in the decision
making process through information systems such as intelligence systems, record management

systems, and dispatch systems. Furthermore, a reliable information system used in improving the
patrol operations which translates to efficient and effective policing.
Both long term and short term goals focus on areas of improvement within a law
enforcement agency. Then these areas of improvement are integrated with strategic decision
making. This way, the agency uses tools such as process diagrams in identifying these areas of
improvement within the agency. In policing, these long term and short term goals provide the
basis for intelligence-led-policing which utilizes the full capacity of decision making (RamosQuintana, 2018). Challenging and achievable goals within the agency provide the basis for better
decision making in dealing with cases involving enforcement of the law.
Risk assessment tools assessing the emerging issues in law enforcement agencies allows
for strategic decision making. Policing involves making tough and dynamic decisions on new
emerging issues and cases in law enforcement. Risk assessment involves detailed and complete
information basis in order to make a policing decision (Northouse, 2018). Risk involves anything
uncertain in the near future. Consequently, utilizing their exceptional legitimate expert and
access to assets, cops are relied upon to react to risks and act even with vulnerability. Abstaining
from settling on a choice due to the level of instability or maintaining a strategic distance from
the likelihood of damage is amateurish and can have cataclysmic results for both people in
general and the police. Despite the fact that the danger of harm dependably exists, more regularly
than the operational police choices are compelling and the harm does not occur. Authorities
should go out on a limb with a specific end goal to figure out how to be a decent hazard
beneficiary.
Strategic management is the process where managers are implementing the objectives of
an organization. In law enforce...
