It is important to realize that many public policies are not successful due to not being implemented correctly. There are ten conditions that lead to a successful implementation process of a public policy:
1. Circumstances external to the City do not impose crippling constraints.
2. Adequate time and sufficient resources made available to the program.
3. The required combination of resources is available.
4. The policy is based on a valid theory of cause and effect.
5. The relationship between cause and effect is direct with few diverging links.
6. There is a single implementing agency.
7. There is understanding and agreement on the objectives to be achieved.
8. Tasks are fully specified in the correct sequence.
9. There is perfect communication and co-ordination.
10. Those in authority can demand and obtain perfect compliance.

Several supervisors employed by the City of Newark were questioned about the Drug-Free Workplace policy. Although they were able to research the policy online, they did not know their responsibilities or liabilities on the policy. Several conditions of a successful implementation of a public policy include adequate time for the program, sufficient resources available to the program, and perfect communication and co-ordination (Ison & Rye, 2003). The past policy failed because communication with the supervisors and employees about the policy was limited and did not continue. The revised implementation process requires the administration to make it a top priority with the supervisors. Supervisors must be kept trained on the policy so they may continually update the employees during training and staff meetings. The administration has the authority to require continuous notification of supervisors and employees about substance
