In addition to recruiting Hispanic police officers implementation of the SCPA demonstrates respect for the community and provides an opportunity for open lines of communication, two additional ways to improve the relationship between Hispanic citizens and the police department. Finally, the SCPA will allow officers who conduct the program to determine if there are barriers that may be present, such as culture or language barriers. The level of participation by the community should be monitored. If there is not enough participation, the department will have to decide if the program should continue or pursue other options.

Summary B
Choosing not to recommend implementation of the SCPA seems to be the prudent decision at this time. If the program is implemented and the Hispanic community does not participate, not only will time and money have been wasted, but there will be a negative impact on the police agencies reputation with the community. The issues present in the community must still be addressed. It is important that the department search out alternatives to demonstrate respect for the community and provides an opportunity for open lines of communication, two additional ways to improve the relationship between Hispanic citizens and the police department. Finally, the department needs to find methods to determine if other are barriers are present, such as culture or language barriers. It is vital that the Hispanic community have input into other options and thus, you should schedule another community meeting.
