You are a recently promoted police chief in a medium-sized town with a rather modest budget for law enforcement equipment.

One of your primary goals is to seek an increase in the budget for those technological items that you feel would help your department's officers perform their jobs in a more efficient, safe manner.

In your request, you recommended the following tools be purchased for your officers:

Tasers

Improved body armor

New and standardized firearms for all officers

In-car camera systems

GPS technology

Improvements in computer technology

Biometric software

Because you know this is a "wish list" and you will only get funding for some of the items on this list, you decide to submit a written request to city council and the mayor.

In this correspondence, you decide the respond to the following issues to support your request:

Describe and discuss the item you would select as the most important to purchase right away, and share with your fellow students and professor why you selected this item.

Describe and discuss the item you would select as the most important to purchase right away, and share with your fellow students and professor are available to present to council and the mayor to support your decision?

If you had to take 2 items off of your wish list, which of those 2 items would be recommend, and why (other than lack of budgetary dollars)?
