1. You are a police officer who has just been reassigned to a new neighborhood. You are scheduled to meet with a group of parents in a multicultural neighborhood gathering. The neighborhood has misgivings about your agency because of some police officers' use of profanity towards citizens and disrespect towards African American teenage males during traffic stops. There are a few street gangs in the area and one of the biggest complaints from parents is "Even good kids are being treated by police like they are gang members." What would you say at this meeting? How would you respond to the parents' allegations? What recommedations could you make to your fellow officers that would improve their contacts with the young people they encounter? 1.
