Multicultural Representation in Law Enforcement Recruitment, Retention and Promotion
Recruitment Proposal.
You are the new personnel recruitment sergeant for a police department comprised of 50 sworn officers. Of the 50 sworn officers, the department has one African American man, two Hispanic men, and two women officers. There has never been a large number of minority or women candidates applying for vacant sworn positions in the department, and your agency does not reflect the demographics of the city (50% Hispanic, 30% African American, 20% Caucasion/other, 58% Female / 42% Male). Your city has an affirmative action program, but to date, no outreach programs have been initiated to recruit minorities and women.
Your chief has asked you to provide a written proposal on what strategies you would recommend as a pathway to recruit minorities and women.
Your proposal will include the identification of the objective, a list of ten (10) or more recruitment strategies that target designated demographics, and a summary of the projected results of your proposal.
You will find examples of recruitment strategies in the course textbook that you can build upon, as well as locating online resources that can assist you.
