The Final Report of The Presidents Task Force on 21st Century Policing contains numerous recommendations for reforms pertaining to law enforcement.  Identify which of the six pillars you think is the most important and discuss why you chose that pillar.  (Pillar 2. Policy & Oversight)

Then, identify the two most important recommendations under that pillar.  Discuss why you chose those two and how likely it is that those recommendations will be implemented. (2.1 Recommendation: Law enforcement agencies should collaborate with community members to develop policies and strategies in communities and neighborhoods disproportionately affected by crime for deploying resources that aim to reduce crime by improving relationships, greater community engagement, and cooperation, AND 2.2 Recommendation: Law enforcement agencies should have comprehensive policies on the use of force that include training, investigations, prosecutions, data collection, and information sharing. These policies must be clear, concise, and openly available for public inspection.)
