Recruiting Diversity

Decent Essays

I think it is a step in the right direction in recruiting minorities. It frames their service more for their community than for the department. I think if departments want to recruit more minorities they need to emphasize that it is beneficial to the community and builds trust. I think link fits the recommendation 1.8 and will be help to the state of New York.

    There are eleven scholarly journals and three published books that were found to be relevant for the second question. The biggest challenge that most police recruiters face has been to gain trust, confidence, and cooperation from the community (Cox, 2013). To recruit highly qualified diverse officers, police recruiters must be proficient in cross-cultural diversity, community mediation skills, and respecting individual rights (Hanser & Gomila, 2015).

    Hiring for diversity is an important issue and sometimes it is necessary in public agencies, and also the fire service for many reasons. One reason would be that in these communities there are cultural barriers, which mean that potentially there also are language barriers. This can cause lack of communication between the ones that are providing the help and those that need it and can be extremely frustrating for the providers. Hiring people that are bi-lingual is a huge bonus for public agencies. In addition, having diversity can ensure that people in the communities feel that their race, religion, culture, gender etc. are being respected and that are also well represented.…

    I have been blessed with many different opportunities in my life to experience diversity through my school, church, and work. Being a part of a church has taught me to always have open arms to anyone that may be different than myself, with that being said my church has introduced me to many different people from all different walks of life. My church also has a large congregation of the Asian culture. Through the many social events of my church I have learned a lot about the Asian culture between their family values, foods, clothing, and gender relations. Working hand and hand with them to serve others has taught me about the differences between our ways of life, but most of all has shown me the similarities between us.…

    When enveloped in personal culture and ethnicity, it can be difficult for one to recognize the characteristics that it has. Often, it is not until one steps back from their own experiences and viewpoint and considers their life in retrospect that the events come to the surface. This truth is applicable when discussing the experience of a Caucasian female in the United States. Although white women experience the pressure of gender roles, they are rarely challenged by their race in a way that makes life more difficult. Accomplishments and failures are rarely attributed to the race of a white person (McIntosh, 1988).…

    If law enforcement agencies strengthened their relationship with the community, minorities will be more likely to work for law enforcement agencies. It’s tough for someone to work with an agency that is not liked by some members of society. It’s tougher for someone to work with an agency that is not liked by members of that person’s family.

    In two major Asian cities, Daly City, California, and Fremont, California, Asians only accounted for approximately 12 percent and 10 percent of sworn officers, respectively” (p. 2). Recruiting more Asian-American officers will instill more trust and confidence in Asian communities; furthermore, it will also reflect the racial and ethnic demographics of the Asian community (Cao, 2011). Promoting qualified Asian-American officers into supervisory and upper management ranks will signify diversity of minority leadership within U.S. law enforcement organizations. In order to accommodate and adequately serve Asian communities, police departments must recruit more Asian-American officers to fulfill their needs and concerns (Shusta et al.,…

    Historically, the police force of this city has not at all been reflective of the community in which it operates, particularly with regard to racial and ethnic characteristics. To that end, this document outlines a recruitment and hiring campaign for the police force that will endeavor to create a police force that is more inclusive, increasingly diverse, and can hopefully then begin to bridge the many gaps and heal wounds that currently exist between the community and the police force that currently exists. Essential Elements of the Job Police and community relations have been typically problematic in our city.
