Hi, need to submit a 250 words essay on the topic Police and Cultural Diversity.

One of the first challenging issues that police professionals could encounter with regard to working with diverse populations has to do with a lack of cultural appreciation that can be exhibited by the police. Another challenge that might be represented is with regard to linguistic challenges that are coming to be represented in more and more communities throughout the US. As a multi-ethnic, multiracial, and multilingual United States is becoming more and more common, the police professional cannot expect that each and every stakeholder within society will speak English as a first and/or primary language. By keeping this in mind, the utility of such police officers can be maximized by recognizing that not all stakeholders will understand and/or respond to clear commands. Lastly, forensic psychology professionals can drastically impact the efficiency with regard to the way in which police professionals engage with the community. The underlying reason for this has to do with the fact that these professionals are able to highlight the differential that exists within the community and seek to promote police engagement with them based on best practices and effective approaches that will maximize the utility for all individuals involved. Although this stands as a brief overview of to troublesome approaches and one potential solution, it must be understood that there are in fact a litany of different approaches and solutions that could be discussed as a means of improving police professionalism and utility.
