Journal Entry 5: Strategic IssuesYour integrated 10-year personal and professional strategic plan will be framed by a series of topic typically associated with strategic planning. Bryson (2011) defined strategic issues as fundamental policy choices or challenges facing an organization. At the heart of strategic planning, organizational leaders attempt to manage internal and external environmental forces to achieve efficient and effective organizational performance in providing goods and services desired by customers. Significant strategic issues exist at organizational boundaries (Bryson, 2011). For example, a professional pursuit – climbing the corporate ladder may be in conflict with a personal passion – spending quality time with the family. In this example, one could define two strategic issues: SI1 – Climbing the corporate ladder and SI2 – Spending quality time with the family. Your challenge is to balance the assumptions of why one does strategic planning with identifying meaningful choices or challenges you expect over the next 10 years.Use your Critical Thinking Journal to (1) critically think about and analyze three potential strategic issues you might face in the next 10 years (at least one strategic issue should relate to some aspect of your life outside your career), and (2) in Step 5 of Paul and Elder’s (2012) Critical Thinking Model, as adopted for the class, synthesize your thinking about your three prioritized strategic issues.

Journal Entry 4: Environment AssessmentYour integrated 10-year personal and professional strategic plan will be framed by a series of topic typically associated with strategic planning. With a sense of purpose (mission statement) along with a sense of a desired future state (vision) anchored through deeply held beliefs (values), one needs to understand his or her constraints in moving toward a desired future state. An environmental assessment is the term often used to describe one’s current operating environment. Organizations typically consider their current market and customer needs, competitive position, and innovation capacity to understand the business environment. Your challenge is to describe and evaluate your current and future personal and professional environments for elements (e.g., political, economic, social, technical, etc.) which may aid or hinder your ability to fulfill your mission and ten-year vision. In addition, conduct a SWOT analysis. A SWOT analysis is an analytical technique used by organizations to examine their operating environments through identifying strengths (S), weaknesses (W), opportunities (O), and threats (T) as well as interrelationship between strengths and weaknesses, interrelationship between opportunities and threats (Jones & George, 2011).Strengths and weakness are examined from an internal perspective because these are within the control of an organization. For example, an organization may identify its current ability to attract and retain recent graduates as a strength and a decline in research and design innovations as a current weakness. Identified strengths are normally viewed as assets and weaknesses are viewed as potential liabilities in achieving strategic objectives.Opportunities and threats are examined from an external perspective because these are outside the control of an organization. For example, an organization may identify its ability to exploit a new market segment as an opportunity and increased foreign competition as a threat. Identified opportunities are typically viewed as potential areas to leverage in achieving strategic objectives while identified threats represent potential barriers or challenges to overcome in achieving strategic objectives.Use your Critical Thinking Journal to (1) critically think about and analyze your current environment and desired 10-year environment from a personal and professional perspective and (2) in Step 5 of Paul and Elder’s (2012) Critical Thinking Model, as adopted for the class synthesize your thinking following the guidance contained in the critical thinking journal template.To complete this journal entry, refer to the Journal Entry 4: Environment Assessment Critical Thinking Journal Template.Be sure to use the attached resources as 2 out of the 4 needed sources.

As a member of the Virtual Police Department’s Administrative Services Unit you have been called into a meeting with your supervisor, several other police commanders, and the Chief of the Virtual Police Department. This is what you are told by the head of the Criminal Intelligence Unit. Several jurisdictions in the vicinity of Virtual have experiences Flash Robs. These are groups of teenagers and young adults, both men and women, who descend on a commercial store and, on a given signal, grab as much merchandise as they can carry and flee the store in mass. The size of the group and the quickness of their action made apprehension almost impossible for the overwhelmed store employees. Targeted stores range from sporting goods outlets, and electronic shops, to pharmacies and liquor stores. There is some evidence that the mob is organized by codes using social media. The Virtual Small Business Association is petitioning the Mayor for a plan to ensure these mobs to not attack the downtown business area. They are insisting on more police presence (particularly during peak business hours) and closer cooperation between the police and their own private security. The Chief has decided to form a 8-unit task force. This operation will be a collaborative effort involving both the Virtual Police Department and other appropriate partner agencies within the criminal justice system.

Additionally, you will identify 4 units in the Virtual Police Departmental units that will NOT be part of the task force. For each of these units not selected, you are asked to: a) Identify the unit and briefly describe its typical operational/administrative role and regular duties in a law enforcement agency b) Explain why it was NOT chosen for this task force. 4.
