Apply the proactive communication approach to a local police department. How would this communication model work in the field in the midst of the usual practical difficulties?
What will be an ideal response?
To apply a proactive communication model, feedback is essential. Planning, organizing, operationalizing, and evaluation only work with good feedback. Proactive means to plan ahead anticipating events using the appropriate feedback as events happen. Feedback changes the model as time goes on to anticipate future events. As operations related to events happen, the planning is evaluated and changed depending on the feedback. This approach combines future planning while removing rigidity and introducing flexibility. The Maginot line didn't work for France in WWII when the Germans avoided it by invading France through Belgium. This kind of thinking does not work for a modern police agency. On a more positive note, feedback, which changes plans as they are operationalized, makes for both continuity and flexibility. As many a general has noted, the only thing certain in war is change.
