1. Offensive terms should not be used in law enforcement work at any time. Give three practical reasons for this perspective. How would you go about helping other officers who use such terms in the course of their work to become aware of their offensiveness?

write 3-5 short paragraph.

2. Law enforcement agencies typically operate under the pretense that all their members are one color, and that the uniform or job makes everyone brothers or sisters.

Caucasians clearly dominate the command ranks of law enforcement agencies. Do you believe this disparity is the result of subtle forms of institutional racism, or actual conscious efforts on the part of persons empowered to make decisions? Consider whether tests and promotional processes give unfair advantage to white applicants, and whether they discriminate against department employees of other races and ethnicities. Do officers from diverse groups discriminate against members of other, different cultures?
