With all of the police misconduct in recent years, there has been a push for some type of reform.

The reforms include but are not limited to defunding the police, disbanding the police, reorganization of police departments and writing new laws that would allow for easier prosecution of police misconduct.

In this project, you will be tasked with designing a new agency that would regulate the police more closely and establish strict guidelines for the conduct and enforcement of these guidelines. The agency can be local or state but would be similar to such federal agencies as the Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco or the DEA.

For the project, you will need to write a mission statement, a review of current criminal justice policies and procedures (which should include the reasoning for the development of the status quo policies), problems with the current policies, revised procedures for police conduct, and new criminal consequences in the event of a violation of the code. The whole project should be 5-8 pages long.

The project will be graded based on the rubric. It will incorporate material that the student has learned in Modules 3, 4, 5, and 6. In general, the student will be analyzing one or various regulations or codes in the criminal justice system and he or she will write a new policy and/or procedure based on the regulations and codes.
