City Council Proposal
You have received a memo from your city manager advising that all city budgets will be cut by 7% and
this includes the public safety budget. The Chief of Police has assigned you to assemble a team and
present a budget proposal outlining the 7% percent (minimum) of the police department’s budget that you
propose to be cut. The chief has charged your team with presenting the how, when, and where the cuts
or monies will be applied. The presentation should be administered from an inclusive approach
considering an overall criminal justice scope along with community and external stakeholder elements. In
essence this assignment should not be taken with a narrow view simply from a policing perspective.
Create a detailed presentation on your proposed budgetary cuts as well as an executive summary of your
overall budget plan. You have the flexibility to improvise or realistically create information or details not
included in the designated city materials. Critical elements of this assignment focus on your budget
teams ability to understand differing ways and means to apply budgetary process and related cuts.
Budget approach and cuts often involve tough decisions including assignments, personnel, equipment,
training, and other factors affecting daily work habits and conditions of employees.
