Evaluate the implementation of problem-oriented policing within criminal justice entities.

Complete the Assessment by responding to the following:

Officer James Armstrong, School Resource Officer at Riverside High School, has discovered spray-painted graffiti on the concession stand of the school’s football field. Officer Armstrong has recently attending a Gang Investigation course and recognizes that the graffiti looks suspiciously like gang related artwork. Officer Armstrong alerts the Principal and is informed that similar graffiti is also located in the front parking lot of the school. Several teachers have expressed concern about recent news reports that gang violence is increasing in nearby areas. Riverside has historically been a good school. The school has won several awards for safety and is considered by many in the community an outstanding school. It is a concern to the school, and the community, that the gang violence that has affected the neighboring urban city of Rockville may be spreading to Riverside. Residents are fearful that the historically safe and secure Riverside High School may be under a threat of violence itself.
