Discretionary situations for a police chief

Concept paper describing two discretionary situations for a police chief. The situations may focus on either operational issues (e.g., uniform patrol deployment, criminal investigation/arrest, traffic control, crime prevention, etc.) or administrative issues (e.g., disciplinary action, hiring, training, budget/procurement, public information, etc.). The exercise of discretion in one situation may be appropriate while being inappropriate in another.
For each situation, you will describe:
•    the situation, the controlling protocol, and the discretionary alternative(s) 
•    the reasons supporting compliance with the controlling protocol 
•    the justification for the exercise of discretion 
•    the determination that discretion is appropriate/inappropriate, and why

CAUTION: This paper must reflect the discretion exercised by the chief of police in his/her capacity as a police administrator. Situations describing the discretion of a police officer are inappropriate for this project.
