Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Determine whether or not after the resolution of this event, the officer in question will need an additional psychological assessment to ensure that his future conduct, if he returns to active duty, is befitting of an officer. Provide a rationale for your response.
  2. Explain the fundamental distinction between deductive analytic techniques and inductive analytic techniques. Analyze if the officer in question made his decision to act based on deductive analytic techniques or inductive analytic techniques. Provide a rationale for your response.
  3. Argue for or against the theory that a well prepared officer should possess the following characteristics – agreeableness, empathy, listening comprehension, and sociability – in order to perform well as a law enforcement officer. Next, determine if any of these characteristics were present when Officer Wilson encountered Michael Brown. Provide a rationale to support your response.
  4. Given the circumstances surrounding this event, consider the following options the officer in question may have had in this case:
    1. Wait for back up before engaging the suspect
    2. Engage the suspect without a weapon
    3. Follow the suspect without engaging him
    4. Resolve to allow the suspect to proceed to his destination

Select the option that you believe would have best served the purpose of protecting the officer, the suspect, and the general public in this case. Provide a rationale for your response.
