Sheriff of the Boone County Sheriff’s Department.
Respond to the following scenario. Your response should be at least 2 double-spaced pages in length. You have just been elected Sheriff of the Boone County Sheriff’s Department. Your initial review of the department indicates a very loosely managed and controlled organization. Training is haphazard, supervision is nearly nonexistent, and deputies are allowed to come and go as they please. The department recently lost a class action suit filed by a group of Hispanic inmates who were repeatedly physically assaulted by a group of ten jailers. You have come to the conclusion that the Department’s subculture is corruption prone. Using the information from chapter 9, outline a plan for addressing and changing the Department’s organizational culture so that it becomes more conducive to the standards of ethical policing practices.
