Enforcement and Public Safety Leadership (LEPSL), developing law enforcement and public
safety knowledge and skills for the 21st century has been one of the essential goals. Out of my
works, I have chosen four papers which highlight my knowledge and skills. These include: 21 st
century city budget, an evaluation of law enforcement cyber presence, the third-party doctrine
and cell site location information analysis, and the shooting of Jacob Blake: missed
opportunities.
My first paper I chose to reflect upon was my final legislative review project for the
budget and finance for law enforcement. “A solid understanding of the budget will translate
into having a comprehensive grasp of what is going on in the present day and beyond.” 1 Moving
forward into the 21st century, it is more important now than ever to have a solid grasp on the
budget for your police department. With constant political threats of “defunding the police,”
law enforcement must not only justify every dollar they spend, but why they spend it and for
what causes it is useful. This paper proposed a line-item budget with 6 community priorities. It
split the budget into personnel, capital, and operational. It also included a grant the city would
receive from the state from the California Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention
program.
The second paper is an evaluation of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Cyber
Presence. I evaluated the department’s cyber presence comprised of the official department
website, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Each platform was evaluated on its effectiveness in
communicating with the public. Overall the Orange County Sheriff’s Department has a robust

My third paper is on the third party doctrine and cell site location information analysis.
In law enforcement, officers deal with a constantly changing dynamic field. As a leader,
ensuring not only officers but citizens are constitutionally protected is of the upmost
importance. I argue in the paper for the dissenting opinion in a Supreme Court case which
expanded the right to privacy in a pivotal shift from the prior court’s Fourth Amendment
precedent.
The final paper I chose for this section is on the shooting of Jacob Blake. I titled the
report “Missed Opportunities.” I evaluated the best cyber practices for law enforcement,
analyzed the Kenosha Police Department’s online response to the incident, and had an incident
overview. My main critique was the police department during this critical incident, and the
subsequent protests missed opportunities to shape the narrative not only their citizens saw,
but nationwide. The department allowed the national media to take over the narrative and to
