Instructions:
Based on the current crisis our criminal justice agencies are facing that have had to make some policy changes. Students are to research and select one agency from the criminal justice field (police, courts, corrections) and detail in a PowerPoint presentation how that particular agency is responding to the COVID 19 crisis from a “policy and procedure” perspective. Policy is the goal (what you want to accomplish and procedures are the steps to achieve that goal). You must use two sources in your presentation and must be in your reference page. You must indicate the agency and the specific challenge the agency is addressing (they may have many only focus on one).
For example:
*Police Arresting Policy Response – Effective immediately our department’s arrest policy will focus on violent and felony arrest only.
*Misdemeanor offenses will result in verbal warning, written warning, or tickets.
*Criminal Court Proceedings Policy – Effectively immediately first appearances will be done remotely by video conferencing.
*Transporting Prisoner from County to State Prison Policy
