Topic- "The city council of Smithville has recommended making changes to police procedures to improve the visibility of the police force. These changes include hiring more police officers, budgeting more funds for police overtime , and directing officers to patrol significantly more often on foot rather than from their patrol cars. These improvements in visibility would significantly lower the crime rate in Smithville and make its citizen feel safer."
The author concludes the topic with assumption that improvements in visibility of police force, the crime rate in Smithville could be lower. The author states that there should be more visibility changes to the police force including hiring more police officer and budget more money for the police department for police overtime. The author provides evidence against his theory that the council of Smithville recommended making changes to police procedure to improve the visibility of police force. Although there is no strong evidence that the changes are made.
Author also assumes that, by providing more police officer for patrol in foot rather than car the citizens feel safer. Though there is no evidence that the citizens are unhappy with current police force or the crime rates are high in Smithville. Also there is no evidence that, a crime had been done due to absence of police or crime rates are high due to lack of police force.
The city council assumes that by only providing more number of police and allotting more money to the police department, the crime rates could be lower. But there can be also other way, need less money but effective. The city council should talk to the citizens that what they need or the intensity of crime rates. There can various researches can be done, but the memo cannot provide any of that.
By concluding the argument, what if provides visibility changes to the police force and budgeting more money the crime rates cannot reduced then all that cogitate and the money was in loss and overall the citizens can be fervid to city council.
