One of the program learning outcomes for the Law Enforcement and Public Safety

Leadership program is engaging in law enforcement and public safety institutional assessment

and change. This is an important development of law enforcement leadership program because

it “gives the opportunity to look inward and to nurture skills that directly have ramifications

within your law enforcement and public safety institutions.”1 The three papers I chose to reflect

upon are a public information officer’s statement after an officer involved shooting and death

of an African American male, a consultant’s report to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department,

and the design of a new task force to battle gang violence.

The first reflection paper is a public information officers’ statement to the community

following an officer involved shooting, and subsequent death of an African American male. This

assignment gave me the opportunity to look not only within the organization, but within the

community to see the best words to use. It is important now and going into the future law

enforcement not only responds publically to these critical incidents, but quickly and with the

right words. The main focuses of this address to the community is the need for community

engagement, building trust and respect, understanding the officer’s actions, and preventing the

loss of life in the future.

In addition, for LEPSL 570: community assessment organizations, I assessed the need for

a gang task force within Orange County to address the F-Troop gang. I evaluated and saw a

need to disrupt and dismantle the ongoing criminal activity of the gang. I laid out elements of

the task force, the scope and expectations, as well as the coordination with the Santa Ana

Police Department. This paper required me to look inward not only at my department, but

Orange County as a whole to see where the needs are. F-Troop is one of the most dangerous

gangs in the county and requires a large task force to address it.

Lastly, I wrote a consultant report for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department regarding

a theoretical situation where there was a lack of clear direction for the agency and its

department members. There was also a long list of other leadership and management issues

plaguing the department and limiting them from being successful. I focused on an overview of

organizational leadership, the difference between leadership and management, the four main

leadership theories, building a team, and two case study interviews. I completed an in depth

study of the organization and the leadership required to take the department in the right

direction.
