Lieutenants will utilize current research in policing (journals, briefs, etc.) to identify an area of interest for a research project. They will develop a literature review based on that topic, and preliminarily articulate how their research might be applied to solve a problem within their own work area/department/span of control. They will craft a short presentation with PowerPoint to give background on the issue and recommendations for implementation.
