STEPHANE RESPONSE: When discussing a police department’s organizational structur

STEPHANE RESPONSE: When discussing a police department’s organizational structure and functions, they are both critical components of one another. If there are changes to a police department’s structure, it can also alter the organizational function. In considering factors such as relations in minority communities, it is necessary to make changes to the structure of these organizations. When considering the needs of constituents, only considering one approach in every instance will not always deliver a considerable outcome.  
There are instances when minority communities have not felt safe in their own neighborhoods because of the social climate around the world, implementing community policing, department diversity, and specialized community units will help them to foster a better relationship with law enforcement. Increasing diversity within police departments will also increase the effectiveness of police community relations because to give communities more space to be receptive of the officers in their communities, it would be easier when they see someone that looks like them. 
 Implementing bias training within departments will increase the known biases that occur within the police force that impact the communities. Learning and understanding that biases occur within the station and in the field will aid in the department’s growth. According to statistics, 58% of Americans believe that policing does need changes in to make policing better. 88% (almost 9/10) of Black Americans state that major changes are needed compared to 63% in Hispanic Americans and 51% in White Americans (Crabtree, 2020). Cultivating changes within the structure of police departments are necessary for fostering better relationships within and out of the department.
