Malfunction Junction Case Study
CJA/454
Many times in our communities the people within those communities have
trouble getting along. This can come by their actions in social settings or in private
settings but for whatever reason it is human nature to disagree. Often people disagree
with how they feel a society should behave or how they should have to behave within
the confines of that society. In order to protect the innocent people who live within
that society laws were invented to protect them from those who would choose not to
behave in a manner that society deems fit. As time has passed our law enforcement
officers have changed and evolved to adapt to our society as it has changed and
evolved. In this paper we will take a look into problems that could arise from
traditional thinking officers and supervisors still working in the organization from the
case study. We will use the seven elements of police organizational structure
described in our chapter, and answer where it appears that this would be needed to
reorganize an agency, and especially to accommodate COPPS. We will try to
anticipate that the officers’ workload would be reduced or increased under the new
COPPS strategy. We will attempt to explain different types of information that could
be used to evaluate the progress of our communities policing initiatives.
The use of the S.A.R.A. Process to approach the challenge
The S.A.R.A. process is one that could be used to address any problem. S.A.R.A.
stands for scanning, analysis, response, and assessment. These are put into place so
