Criminal Justice Program Proposal | Assignment_1
Running Head: CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM PROPOSAL 2Introduction The southern border along Mexico and the United States has been a prime focus of national security. Every day, thousands of immigrants attempt to illegally enter the United States through the southern border and expose the numerous vulnerabilities that allow many to achieve their goal without detection. Many drug cartel groups have recognized this and use these gaps in our national security to seize the opportunity to smuggle narcotics into the country. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection in conjunction with state and local law enforcement are in a war against the drug cartels and human traffickers. The fight against narcotics smuggling along the U.S. southern border continues to present problems for our citizens and law enforcement. Trafficking narcotics into the U.S contributes to the even larger problems facing our society with drug abuse and gang violence. Though our government has developed and implemented enhanced programs to reduce illegal trafficking through the Southern Border, the opportunities are still there. It is in the best interest of our government to review and improve current practices to effectively combat this increasing problem.Type of Program Effectively fighting back against narcotics trafficking at our Southern Border requires an action plan that attacks the root problem. Planned change will be needed to address the increasing problem at the border and reduce drug trafficking throughout the United States. Recognizing the need for change facilitates a set of events that will lead to a decision to revise current practices. After a need for change is determined it is critical to determine the goals and objectives of the proposed program.

Running Head: CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM PROPOSAL 3 One of the problems with the current plan is that the amount of individuals illegally crossing the border far exceeds the resources provided by law enforcement. Our field agents are dangerously outnumbered and are left at a severe disadvantage when confronted with large groups of smugglers. An action system developed by the Department of Homeland Security will carry out the restructuring of the plan including development, implementation, evaluation, and writing policies (Welsh & Harris, 2013). According to the case-study, the local coalition to combat narcotics trafficking only contains six members to carry out field operation, share information, and collect data. My intervention plan will target this team to develop a more efficient and resourceful coalition that will prove its invaluable efforts to effectively curb the drug trafficking problem in South Texas.Processes to Identify the ProblemIt has long been known that the vulnerabilities along the southern border have plagued our national security for decades. There are several questions the observer must ask when attemptingto identify the problem:Answer the following questions:1.Who is the decision maker in this case, and what is their position and responsibilities?2.What appears to be the issue (of concern, problem, challenge, or opportunity) and its significance for the organization?3.Why has the issue arisen and why is the decision maker involved now?4.When does the decision maker have to decide, resolve, act or dispose of the issue? What is the urgency to the situation? (Introduction to Business, 2006).Data Collection Methodologies
