i need to reply back to my classmate on the feedback they gave me

I always look for your posts first. You've always got a solid grasp of not just the study material, but of what the topic is asking. Obviously, I agree with your analysis. I mean, my choices are generally as follows:

A. Agree with Ray.

B. WRONG!

I know that what you said about strategic plans is correct. I see that you hit all the key points and explained the rationale. I like that you stated how collaboration and communication are "essential". But just one teeny gripe is that I would lead with collaboration and communication. And I only say this because I'm required to say SOMETHING. I find, that many issues simply disappear if you give the stakeholders a chance to talk. A lot of times, that's all people want. So let's say you see an increase in citizen complaints about your officers. Good! I'd encourage complaints. Complaints allow for a safe and fulfilling outlet for frustrations. And at the end of the day, if it is more than just venting, at least you know about it. Venting is important in trend intervention because plugging one leak may seem like success, but just leads to a build of pressure elsewhere.
