The use of interns is a big help in cutting costs but still more funds are needed. Our associates worked many hours researching ways to lessen the cost of training and retraining and stumbled across the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers website. On this web site it told us about hosting a program for training. It can be online, have a federal trainer come to your academy or ways to host everything yourself. Hosting training sessions or classes is a great way to cut back expenses, not just for this organization but others as well. Depending on the needs of your organization this web site has much to offer all policing agencies. After researching this site, we contacted the Yukatan Police Department as well as the probation/parole department and both are willing to combine classes. If each department offers their services in the areas of expertise the better the outcome for training achievement, not to mention less money will be needed to implement such training. The use of the computer training can be offered to supervisors in need of training as well as deputies.

Broadway Broker’s management team is faced with the challenging task of downsizing and consolidating the organization. A thorough investigation as to how to execute proposed changes will need to occur before the organization can forge ahead. Change processes must be executed in a fashion that portrays compassion and consideration for all involved. For change to be successful the management team must have understanding and empathy for the psychological impact of imposed change and how employees will react. Most humans are fearful of change and do not embrace change in a positive manner. The road ahead will be difficult for the management team at Broadway Broker’s, however; with proper planning and understanding positive change can sustain the future of the organization.
Lansdowne Road, located at West 43rd street 10th Ave, brings people together in a popular neighborhood, Hell’s Kitchen, located at the west side of Manhattan. Pat Hughes, owner of Lansdowne Road, and his partners Mike Pew and Dan McLaughlin established Lansdowne Road, an Irish bar, with their savings and loans from the bank in the mid-2000s.

It has 3 staff members in its Southern California Office; 2 staff members in its Northern California Office; and 1 staff member in its Central California Office (Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation, n.d.). Actually, the total number of full-time employees of the Foundation is 6 for all its three branches. This is an indication that the organization may be suffering from financial resource constraints, which makes it unable to hire an adequate number of full-time employees, especially if it truly intends to achieve its objectives and goals. Poor financial resource and inadequate staff present a threat to the survival of this Foundation. Therefore, the Foundation tries to correct this deficit by implementing volunteer programs to assist in the running of its activities and programs (Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation, n.d.). However, the overreliance on volunteers is also not healthy for an organization because volunteers require a lot of financial, material, and time resources to be invested in training them, which is evident that the foundation lacks. The end result is that most of the organization’s programs are never

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, emphasized the need to control cost as it greatly impacts the growth of the organization.

Although difficult, it is imperative for the firm to assess headcount on each account as the business
Times have changed; crime has evolved into a multifaceted issue with deep seeded roots. Today, law enforcement officers have additional responsibilities with greater expectations. It is no longer just about bravery, but about the ability to make complex, legal decisions in the midst of danger and chaos. Officers are now required to complete many hours of training regarding detention, arrest, search and seizure, emergency vehicle operations and defensive tactics. Officers are trained to investigate incidents involving domestic violence, sex offenses and crimes against children.
The first requirement is learning the customs and courtesies of different ethnic groups. For example, in a Hispanic household you always talk to the man of the house, never presenting your position to the kid or mother. This would prevent police officers from unknowingly offending a family. The second requirement would be improving on immediate action drills in environments with innocent bystanders. The immediate action drills will teach police officers how to deal with criminals who open fire on them unexpectedly. They will be taught the significance of cover and concealment, properly using escalation of force, and identifying the target before returning accurate fire. The Police Force is in dark times. People are looking to spill the blood of police because of the unjustified police shoots. These immediate action drills will help them be prepared for active shooters. The third requirement is teaching police officers how to be an effective Quick Reaction Force (QRF). This will be for the police officers conducting mobile patrols in the area. If foot patrols take contact it is up for QRF to get to the site, cordon off the area, and assist with the active shooter or help any casualty. Once these training requirements are met we can then implement community

Let's take a look at a variety of levels a company endure when making changes to shaping and anticipating the future of an organization. The company will need to assess their weaknesses and strengths to possibly move into opportunities to improve the mission and goals while an organization goes through changes. The next level is to define the mission with expectations by attempting to create a strategic plan to put into action when making changes in an organization. And then, the company move into implementing the plan to reorganize the goals to substantially fulfill or work toward productivity, customer service, effectiveness, and the quality of work of a specific organization. Finally, the last stage is working toward changing the process. It will best to take small steps into getting employees accumulated to changes in order for it to focus on the less important changes to existing and future work processes. Ultimately, the goal must be measureable to determine if the changes will be useful or counterproductive and the best way to test the method is through a plan or strategies because they look at the how, which is very similar to the goal and evaluate what will transpire in the course of each level. The goals are sought by taking advantage of the moment in time before the opportunity passes by. Also, can the goal be attainable, realistic, a step by step action and come to the conclusion of observable results that can be accomplished through the many changes an organi...
