Budget Request Proposal

A precinct commander instructs members of his or her command regarding the unit's fiscal management strategies, goals, and objectives.

STEP 1: Imagine you are a precinct commander, and your Police Chief requests your help in submitting a budget request for five additional patrol officers in response to rising crime rates. Budget analysts will challenge the Chief’s budget request, so your task is to develop the following to justify the request-

at least - 3 input measures,

at least - 3 output measures, and

at least - 3 outcome measures

STEP 2: Write a 525- to 700-word proposal of performance measures for funding the five officers that will support the budget request. Your measures must be a mix of input, output, and outcome measures and will help measure the success of adding the officers. Specific inputs should lead to specific outputs, resulting in desired outcomes.

For your proposal, be sure to:

Explain what input, output, and outcome measures are in general.

Include at least 3 examples of each measure (Input, Output, Outcome).

Describe each measure in detail as it applies to your request for the additional five officers.

Identify how each measure relates to and supports the budget request for the additional five officers.

STEP 3: Cite at least 2 outside references to support your assignment.

STEP 4: Format your assignment according to APA guidelines to include, at a minimum, the APA cover page, Introduction, level headers/titles for each required assignment discussion point, Conclusion, and Reference page.
