Reasons for the Creation of Burghaton Police Department
As the newly appointed Chief of Police of Burghaton City, I have carried out research on the various issues that are affecting the residents of Burghaton City and they necessitate the establishment of a Police Department as highlighted below:
• Slow response of the State Police –After a survey, we realized that the residents had complained that the emergency response of the police was very slow CITATION Pol12 \l 1033 (Police Research Executive Forum, 2012).
• Increase in the number of tourists who visited Burghaton City-Over the past two years the number of tourists who visited the city was observed to be growing. In the last three months, the city had recorded 25,000 visitors CITATION Rea15 \l 1033 (Reaves, 2015). There is a necessity for the provision of security to these tourists.
• Immigration to the city-There was a significant number of people who had moved to the city within the past 3 months which resulted in population increase (Police Research Executive Forum, 2012).
• High rates of insecurity-There were many cases of insecurity that were reported in the city. The police state records show that there are a large number of juvenile gangs in the city who terrorized the residents.
