Introduction

Following a thorough review of the situation report, Courtelaney Pass was faced with a slew of severe
issues that needed to be addressed. Briefly, the Interim Chief of the Police Department is the most
qualified person after careful consideration of one individual who could intervene and handle the crisis,
mostly because they are highly rated, well-known, and respected by many citizens in various
jurisdictions. In a brief, the Chiefs are in charge of resolving issues that affect society as well as their
entire department. Clearly, departments of law are undeniably empowered to investigate a problem
and resolve any complications that may arise for citizens.

Irresponsibility

Irresponsibility among police officers is proven to be a problem that must be addressed. The police's
weak evidence-gathering strategy in the Kayla Williams incident exemplifies the case's ineptitude and
lack of professionalism. The lack of growth prospects for officers is a challenge that most law
enforcement agencies encounter. Unprofessionalism is on the upswing, indicating that the police are
less instrumental in delivering their objectives. There are no professional development initiatives in
place to address the level of neglect and ineptitude shown in case management (Kotchen et al., 2012).

Racism

Racism is one of the key issues that has plagued many communities around the world (Perry, 2007).
Simply said, when there is a significant bit of racism, people are unable to operate and interact well. In
this context, the police have mainly minimized a number of crimes affecting minorities or groups with
little influence. The case of Kayla Williams is one of the most prominent examples of how African
Americans are discriminated against and how the nature of the enforcement activities is completely
skewed and poorly ran unorganized people. The fact that there is substantial proof of fraudulent activity
in the murders of two other victims, but the police have taken only minor actions, demonstrates the
police's racist and biased approach.

Crimes involving Violent

In general, the context clearly indicates that the police agency is unable to solve or rather stop some of
the chronologically organized crimes due to a lack of funding. Murder and rape are major two examples
of crimes that have skyrocketed in recent years (Steffensmeier et al., 2006). On the other hand, such
acts are horrifying, and individuals in society are unable to operate normally as a result of the absence of
peace and security. As a consequence of the police's lack of intervention, drug sellers have grown in
number, persuading more people to participate in criminal activities as a result of drug use.

Police Department full of Diversity

In order for a department or institution to work well, there must be equality and a lack of diversity in
order for all parties to be satisfied. Within this background, the police force is largely made up of white
individuals, with less opportunities for black people, making them feel biased to varying degrees. Since
the majority of citizens in the community regard them as individuals who don't care and their agency is
completely unstructured, there is a need to give equal dominant levels within the police force's
hierarchy. More minorities and different groups, such as African Americans and Hispanics, need to be
recruited into the police force. Clearly, empowering these types of organizations in law enforcement
departments improves current societal views and acceptance of their actions and judgments, which can
improve and reinforce the authorities' efficacy.

Corruption within the police Agency

There is clear evidence within the context that the region is prone to high levels of corruption,
particularly from law enforcement organizations. It is disheartening that the jurisdiction has a high
number of criminal instances while also having a working police force (Punch, 2009). The police agency
is responsible for ensuring that there are few occurrences of crime in a given area, but this is not the
case here due to corruption. On the other hand, while the police are definitely active in the
neighborhood, crime rates continue to climb on a regular basis. Another point of concern is how they
handled various incidents, such as the death of Kayla Williams, in which they failed to arrive on time and
did not conduct a comprehensive investigation to discover the major reason of her tragic death. The
police force is overwhelmingly white, and other ethnic groups, such as black people, have no chance. To
recapitulate, employees within these agencies must be changed in order to suit the needs of residents
who frequently look to the agency for good security.

Indifferences between the Police and citizens

For a place to thrive in peace without many crime disturbances, all sides, such as the police and the
inhabitants, must have trust in one another (Perry, 2007). Briefly, there is a great deal of mistrust
between the inhabitants of the area and the police force, which is why there are so many crimes.
Following the shooting of one of the drug dealers by one of the police officers in the neighborhood who
was thought to be working undercover, residents staged a number of disturbances. Because the police
agency cannot function effectively without the trust of citizens, it is necessary to adjust their operating
techniques so that all activities are carried out in the best possible manner, without favoring one side
and leaving the other without any kind of justice. First and foremost, all agencies should carry out
several of their actions with the participation of residents in order to ensure that the barrier of mistrust
is overcome and that their work is more effective.

Conclusion

As a Chief within the jurisdiction, you must come up with innovative ideas for how to carry out various
activities and supply critical solutions. A chief can easily summon and analyze all of the issues that arise
in the situation. In a brief, all of these issues, such as corruption, apathy between the police and
civilians, racism, irresponsibility, violent crime, and corruption inside the agencies, begin with individuals
in higher positions of authority. Police agencies are supposed to provide solutions to criminal cases in a
given area, but instead they exacerbate some situations. Cases like Kayla Williams' must be carefully
addressed and thoroughly examined to ensure that justice is served to all citizens, regardless of skin
color or originality. As a chief, you must establish a new department with various police officers in order
to begin a new chapter with fewer cases of corrupt people in society who are the primary targets of
criminal activity. The chief must also ensure that individuals are free to connect with officers and inform
them of a variety of initiatives that they have initiated.
