[Solved] Summative

Assignment Prompt & Instructions

**Imagine** you are the CFO for a criminal justice or private security agency. You are tasked with developing and presenting an operating budget proposal to your agency director. Your starting point for the operating budget is the _current year_. You will then build an operating budget for the _next year_.

**Select** a state or local criminal justice or security agency.

**Research** the most recent budget for that agency. Use the resource at the end of the assignment as an example of an operating budget and how to search for one online.

**Write** a 525- to 700-word budget proposal that contains operating expenses and revenue.

**Include** the following in your proposal:

– Your total budget. This can increase or decrease 5 percent.
– The total for your operating budget and special line items. If you include the special line items, they must equal the total of all your revenue sources, which is called a balanced budget. There should be no deficit or surplus budgeting.
– Increase or decrease of any expenditure or fund source you like. Any increase or decrease should be related to the issues you list in your summary.
– Base your budget adjustments and issues on actual concerns your state or local jurisdiction is experiencing.

**Insert** a table in the budget recommendation that includes columns for the _current year_ (your starting point) and the _next year_ (your recommendation). The table is not part of the summary word count.
