Compare And Contrast Chief Davis And Fortier

Lewis and Clark went on their journey to explore the western region of what is now known as

For example, Princess Williams was a Newark native kindergarten teacher who cared about where her students were going and how they would get there. She addressed each student’s needs individually. Teachers who thought of education in the same ways as she did believed “If you want to change public education, you have to attack the district buildings”(47). Many believed that the governor, Chris Christie, wanted to completely change Newark’s education system by bringing new people and new ways in, but it actually would have been much easier to fix the problems at hand. For example, they could have educated teaches to be better, implemented new resources into district schools instead of creating more charter schools, or hire more counselors to deal with grieving children. It is easy to see that all reformers had a common educational goal for Newark, but they were different in how they handled it. Reformers like Princess Williams worked from the bottom up. She started change by showing what worked better in her classroom at first and then transferred those strategies to a larger context such as the Avon BRICK School. Reformers like Mark Zuckerberg worked from the top down. He started by investing in the politicians who would change the school system at large by changing administrators first, then teachers, and then continued work from the core of the problem. By the

For my stencil design, I chose to draw a highly contrasted cherokee chief with bold capitalized words saying ‘WE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN’ blatantly placed in the center. I made the drawing highly contrasted so that the stencil design could be recognizable through only the shadows of the chief. I made the words capitalized to draw attention, and white so that it contrasts the image. The reason why I chose to draw the chief was due to the Native Americans being a “forgotten people”. They are ignored and there is no attention being focused on the racism and erasure of the Native people.

Snowe believes that there is strength in compromise, courage in appeasement and honor in consensus building. Our country needs to make room for compromising, working with each other, discussing and acting in the national interest rather than having a limited political agenda. The essence of public service is about having a conversation even with those we disagree with; it is bringing people together to work out a reasonable resolution to issues that are important to the American public—as a diversified nation, elected officials should look beyond their differences and find common ground that can be achieved in order to acquire enough support to pass legislation for the common good of the people—this is how Senator Snowe conducted her political

When the words “Lewis and Clark Expedition” are heard, the first thing that probably comes to mind is that they protected and were kind to Indians. That’s because the expedition was strongly outlined by the white men on the journey. Now, Indians speaking about their history and re-interpreting the evidence shows that Lewis and Clark were not the hailed heroes who respected the Native Americans on their expedition. Therefore, Lewis and Clark and their party were not respectful to the Native Americans they met because of their attempts to civilize, the name-calling, and violent acts against them.

The American Civil War is probably one of the worst wars in American history. A brother versus brother battle about rather or not there should be slavery. The leader of the Northern Union was Ulysses S. Grant while the leader of the South was Robert E. Lee. These two men had vastly different worldviews although they did share something in common, the need to win the war.

My choice of whom my subject is isn’t as typical as the Popular choice of ‘Donald Trump’, or ‘Justin Trudeau’. This essay is about Naheed Nenshi, the re-elected mayor of Calgary.

1. A single catastrophic event, often followed by civil liability litigation, leads to the chief of police being replaced (Swanson, 2012, pg. 650). This forces changes because it addresses a single incident and forces change. A good example of this would be the failure to adequately respond to an incident. This can be seen when an incident unarmed person is killed by the police. This can be a result of inadequate training or a trigger happy force. None the less the reason, the

The FPEA represents the officers, sergeants, dispatchers, and several other non-sworn employees in the Fortuna Police Department. Despite the Cost of Living continuing to increase in Humboldt County, the members of the FPEA have not received a cost of living increase for several years. In fact, our members have agreed to wage cuts each year by agreeing to pay increased medical insurance costs. This year, we are again not asking the city for a COLA increase. However, we are asking for a MOU which contains a small stipend. Currently, the city continues to reject our request by stating that they cannot afford it. We simply cannot agree with their findings. Currently the city has approximately 3.7 million in general fund reserves. We acknowledge that the cities general funds reserves have decreased in recent years however; the stipend we are requesting is a very small percentage of these reserves. Currently, our members are among the lowest paid law enforcement professional in the county and as a result of the cities failure to adequately compensate these professionals, we are losing trained people each year to other departments.

Milk’s model demonstrates various strengths but one overall limitation pertains to listening and responding to the needs of all San Franciscans. Throughout, Milk’s three elections he focused on self-interest change such as gay rights, which is a prominent issue. However, the people of San Francisco’s wants and needs were not being collectively explored or heard. However, in his last election he realized a collective community need concerning clean sidewalks without dog poop. Through this collective San Franciscan identified cause he was able to establish his position as an elected official. Thus, Milk’s model does not target inclusive community engagement or participation pertaining to government responses or plans.

Imagine trying to let go of all of your personal opinions, stances, and personality traits each time you walk into a particular room. Sounds somewhat difficult, right? Well, it is, and that is exactly what I have done each Monday and Wednesday from 2pm to 3:20pm these past few weeks in my Urban Politics class. This is because our entire class participated in the Camelot Simulation, where everyone is assigned a role to “act out” in a fictional city. To explain in greater detail, I will give a brief summary of the simulation and my participation in it, then I will analyze a major issue our city faced, and lastly, I will share what I learned about urban politics and policy through this exercise.

There were advantages and disadvantages of both chief Davis and Chief Fortier. Chief Davis executive style is the statesman because of his efficiency and his leadership. There are countless advantages that Chief Davis possessed because of his leadership style. He had a clear vision coming into the police department, and he was very talented and articulate. Chief Fortier allowed his staff to use their imitative and creativity to prosper during the transition period. He transformed the community to work with him to put a police substation where the most crime was located, also convincing the opposing community that was the best place to deter crime. He worked so well with the community that the local businesses raised $200.000 to buy a mobile

The central issue in this case is the impact that informal groups can have on public administration. On September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists, over 3000 people lost their lives. There was, and still is, no doubt that this event reached throughout America and touched each one of us. We can all remember where we were and what we were doing the very moment we found out about it. This case expressed the issues that many people had concerning what to do in the aftermath of this disaster, especially New York firefighters. They lost 343 of their colleagues and were determined not to leave any of them behind. It reminded me of the

Doesn’t it seem that little has changed since Lindblom wrote this article in 1959? Much of what Lindblom drew attention to still exists, i.e. public leaders make decisions with very little information, more or less knee jerk reactions to whatever is happening at that moment, and policies based on a response to a current circumstance instead of through an exhaustive review or revision process. I still see much of this happen today, especially when the community becomes disillusioned by public service – the first thing most leaders do is review the policy to make sure it is still valid. I believe Lindblom presented compelling criticism of the rational approach to public policy formulation. For one, it is extremely difficult to nearly

I have always prided myself as a person who knows virtually everything that happens around my community. It is common for humans to judge or misjudge what they do not know or understand. Too often we are quick to criticize and lash after what other people say or do simply because we do not understand it. This fact describes the character and attitude of many people especially when it comes to politics and how a country is run right from the top to the bottom. The average people is generally unconcerned with political affairs like how politicians spend their tax money. You only need to look at the dismally low voter turn out to confirm this fact. This should to change and for me, this change came on 26th October 2017, when I decided to attend The Tempe City Regular Council Meeting. I had never attended such a meeting before. Part of the reason is perhaps owing to the attitude of most people as I explained earlier but more particularly, I had not seen any local issue that moved me enough to demand the necessity to have my voice heard or to be curious enough to want to find out about the secrets of the operations of the local government. Generally, I knew that the decisions made and policies developed by the city government affected my life directly or indirectly. However, to sit and watch all the work and grind that goes to the formulation of these policies and decisions has made me realize that democracy is not self-driving.
