Matching exercises give you an opportunity to practice definitions and develop logical and critical thinking skills. By using such techniques as inversion, diversion, and the process of elimination, you are able to greatly increase the probability of answering questions correctly. This is an important skill to have, as it is commonly found on nearly all standardized tests and increases critical thinking.

Complete the Unit 4 Assignment: Operational Strategies Presentation

Review Chapter 6 in your text.

Create a 6–8 slide PowerPoint presentation with audio narration and speaker notes.

In the presentation:

• Describe and explain each of the following five core operational strategies (one strategy for each slide):
  • Preventative patrol
  • Routine incident response
  • Emergency response
  • Criminal investigation
  • Problem solving
• Describe and explain one ancillary operational strategy such as support services.
• Explain how law enforcement agencies utilize operational strategies to achieve crime fighting goals.

The PowerPoint presentation should have the following characteristics:

• Bullets for your main points.
• Must include speaker notes to fully explain what is being discussed in the slide bullet points as though you are presenting to an audience.
• Must include narration. You will use the speaker notes for each slide’s narration.
• No more than 10 minutes in length.
• Contains a title and references slide.
• Research from at least two reliable sources to support the main message, including graphics.

  NOTE: Sources should be from beyond the text material, including one from the Library and one from a credible online resource, and discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used.

• Research and visuals are cited in APA citation format, both in-text and on a References slide. You need to quote material taken directly from a source. The same standards for documenting sources that apply to an essay, apply to a presentation. Go to the APA Style® Centralwebsite for a digital library of APA Style quick guides and tutorials to refine your writing.
• Designed with a live audience in mind in order to inform your viewers about the topic.
