Tasks

Step 1:Read Chapter 6: Selection and Development in Police & Society 8th Ed Kenneth Novak. Next, read the California Peace Officer Bill of Rights and review the LAPD/LASD police union websites and the California Law Enforcement Lobbyist website. The websites are located in the "Policing Resources" module. With the websites, pay attention to the "about us" page to understand what those organizations do for law enforcement and how they fit into police organizations. Finally, review the CA Post training video (feel free to browse their other videos). These readings, websites, and videos will provide you with an overview of police recruitment and selection. Next, you will see how organizations that support law enforcement also influence training and selection while providing guidance and workplace protections.

Step 2: Complete the following tasks (Post the answers to this step as soon as possible)

1. Three questions: Write three questions the assigned readings sparked for you (or left you with).
   1. Make sure to write these in the form of questions because another student will try to answer them.
   2. Ensure you include a citation at the end of the question indicating which reading(s) these questions were inspired from.
2. Three reactions: Write three reactions you have to the subjects/contents of the module readings (not the assignment itself). Remember, do not summarize; instead, respond.
   1. Write in complete sentences and avoid slang.
   2. Use in-text citations when referencing a specific reading. For example, "In Novak et al (2020), I was surprised to find out that..."
3. Three connections: Make three connections between the readings this week.
   1. Write in complete sentences and use in-text citations so the reader can know which reading you are referring to.
