1) The traditional policing role has changed with the events of our nation, including 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. How has our role in policing, as first responders and scene containment, changed, and what is the police role in Homeland Security?

2) As the head of a criminal justice organization, you have worked hard to make certain your officers do not take enforcement action based merely on an individual’s skin color or ethnicity. You also firmly believe that your officers do not use racial profiling. A minority group has recently severely criticized your agency and accused your officers of racial profiling. Discuss how you would handle this problem. Be sure to discuss how your ideas could backfire and be used against you.

3) Discuss several technologies that have changed the face of law enforcement in recent years. Provide examples of the pros and cons of these new technologies.
