In this assignment, you will describe situations in which the styles of policing (Watchman, Legalistic, and Service) would be used in the career field. You will also explain what you can infer about the organizational and political culture of the agency based on the various policing styles.
Prompt
In this module, you learned about the three styles of policing: Watchman, Legalistic, and Service. As a professional in the criminal justice field, you will likely collaborate with industry professionals in policing styles.

You will consider how each style is represented in the field and make inferences about each agency’s organizational and political culture. This will help you prepare to submit Project One in Module Five. First, review the Styles of Policing resource section. Then, for each style, describe a scenario or hypothetical situation (in 1–2 paragraphs) in which the style is exemplified in the career field.
