Should the police agencies investigate themselves or should outside agencies (state or federal) and/or civilian review boards be instituted?

Answer the following questions:

1. Briefly describe the nature of the problem/issue. (Carefully analyze the problem: myths vs. facts; pros vs. cons.)

2. Discuss the history of the issue.

3. Describe the extent of the problem/issue (is it an actual problem or a perception).

4. Use at least two actual examples/cases to illustrate your position.

5. What are the best practices in this area? (What police agencies/cities/states already use the program/policy?)

6. What is the recommended solution?

Do not base your position on personal opinion.

Use research and statistics to support your position.

The audience members should leave your presentation feeling more informed.
