LEA 5 Police Personnel and Records ManagementFINAL RESEARCH/TERM PAPER OUTLINE AND REMINDERS

I. Introduction (1-3 pages)The introduction should have some of the following elements, this also

discusses the PROBLEM: Start with an attention grabber: a short story, example, statistic,

or historical context that introduces the paper topic Give an overview of any issues involved with the subject (like

problems in PNP recruitment or promotion) Define of any key terminology need to understand the topic (like

what is “padtrino system” in police recruitment or what is longevity pay if your topic is police compensation)

Highlight background information on the topic needed to understand the direction of the paper

The introduction must end with the RESEARCH (TERM) statement (1 to 2 sentences in length) Tell what the overall paper will focus on Briefly outline the main points in the paper

II. Body (1- 6 pages) Clearly present the main points of the paper as listed in the

research or term paper Give strong examples, details, and explanations to support each

main point (align with the facts given by your police subject) Use strong evidence from sources—paraphrases, summaries, and

quotations that support the main points (may use books, facts from the interviewee and internet sources)

III. Conclusion (1-3 pages)

Restate your research from the introduction in different words (Do not give your own opinion, refer to facts)

Briefly summarize each main point found in the body of the paper (avoid going over 2 sentences for each point)

End with a strong clincher statement: an appropriate, meaningful final sentence that ties the whole point of the paper together (may refer back to the attention grabber)

how to best introduce the body and conclude the paper
