Police officers work in communities, with not only individuals and specific groups of people, but also with larger organizations and institutions—macro communities. Police professionals must become familiar with these communities, know the issues and concerns to be addressed, and have skills to interact in a productive and efficient manner. Macro communities have their own rules, situational demands, and acceptable standards of responding. These communities also represent societal and cultural norms and messages. Macro communities can be public and private, and they have the power to influence or change those who participate or interact with them. Since macro communities consist of numerous micro communities, the police professional must understand their relevance and be able to maneuver through their norms and values to maintain safety and security. In this case, the job of the forensic psychology professional is to assist the police professional in understanding the norms and constraints of the macro communities while working within different systems that have their own goals and standards (i.e., micro communities). Regardless of the directive, forensic psychology professionals are tasked with providing insight to police professionals regarding their interactions with larger communities (macro communities), and helping them work toward a beneficial outcome for all involved parties.

Successful public policies often hinge upon the ability of talented leaders to develop, promote, and execute those public policies.  In a two- to three page paper (not including the title and reference pages), discuss which leadership traits you feel are the most important in the creation of sound public policies.  Some questions to consider are: does a leader’s educational background matter significantly in providing leadership in the policy making process?  Do leaders need to have a military background in order to execute successful policies involving the armed forces?  Is it necessary for strong leaders in the policy making arena to have traveled widely and to have had significant foreign policy experience?

In addition, you may wish to illustrate your points by identifying specific past or current leaders (e.g., Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan) in public policy who exemplify the traits you feel are the most important in public policy leadership.  Be sure to justify your selections by connecting the leaders you select to the leadership traits you deemed most important
