Pandemic Plan – It is late January 2020. For this assignment, you are expected to take on the responsibility of a Patrol Captain for a precinct in New York. You’ve just been briefed by the Commissioner about a virus that is very dangerous and contagious. It has already affected large areas in China and is expected to travel the globe and become a pandemic. For this assignment, develop a pandemic plan for your precinct that addresses how you will staff your station and respond to calls if you lose 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, or 50% of your force to illness. This plan should address five levels of response and reconfiguration based on the level of illness at your precinct. Considerations such as consolidating resources, realigning shifts and beats, tailoring response to calls for service, and citing vs. booking arrestees are just a few potential areas to explore. Basically, you are going to chart out what each diminished level of service would look like based on the percentage of your staff that is out due to illness. This assignment should be about 2-3 pages. In addition to the ASU produced video, the Brito et al. (2009) guidebook, and your own research, I encourage you to contact NYPD personnel for assistance with this assignment. Here is a link to phone numbers for all of the precincts: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/bureaus/patrol/precinctslanding.page. Explain who you are and what you are doing, and you should be able to find someone who will help you. This will be a valuable exercise in learning that it is not only what you know, but who you know that can help you solve a problem. Any information you receive from NYPD should be cited as personal communication according to APA guidelines.
