Saint Leo University Building Logic Models Worksheet

Description

A common rational policy-making approach involves the formulation of logic models. The purpose of this assignment is to gain an understanding of the best ways to evaluate the performance of an entire organization. By developing a logic model for an organization, we can better determine the goals of the organization and whether they meet the demands of the constituent stakeholders. The most effective evaluation models are those that properly align the needs of the constituent stakeholders with the desired outcomes and measurable outputs of the organization.

First, select a law enforcement agency of your choice. The organization can be your current employer, your schools security department, or any other law enforcement agency that you are familiar with.

These are examples on how it should look:

Worksheet for Building Logic Models (Template 1)

Step 1: Identify ONE Problem (the Stakeholder Community Need)

Seton Medical Center Hays Security

Security feels unequipped to deal with the rising violence in the hospital

Step 2: Determine the Outcomes

(Use the SMART approach for determining the outcomes).

Short Term: Give security the necessary tools to assist them in preventing the violence while giving them time to establish long-term safety goals.

Long Term: Establishing training that will allow security to de-escalate situations without the use of physical force/compliance assistance devices (restraints, tazers, etc)

Step 3: Identify the Inputs (available resources)

Additional funding from corporate to obtain new equipment

Receive training for security that has held law enforcement experience

Get training from like-minded security in the same organization

Step 4: Determine the Activities (the things that need to be done to accomplish the outcomes)

Gather data to show corporate why the resources are necessary

Offer financial incentive for those who are qualified to train, do so

Develop/implement programs that assist in verbal de-escalation

Step 5: Determine the Output measurements (these are the measures of the activities)

Allows the security department to hire/pay those who are qualified

Create a temporary environment of safety while the security officers are trained in verbal de-escalation

Moves away from physical restraint

To provide an adequate feeling of safety and security for the security staff, hospital workers, and patients alike. This is done through disbursement of personal protection equipment and de-escalating, verbally, to prevent any potential violence.

Transpose the above onto the Logic Model (Template 2).

Inputs	Activities	Outputs	Outcomes
			Short Term		Long Term
1. Gain additional funding for equipment and training 2. Receive training for security that has held law enforcement experience 3. Get training from like-minded security in the same organization 4.	1. Gather data to show corporate why the resources are necessary 2. Offer financial incentive for those who are qualified to train, do so 3. Develop/implement programs that assist in verbal de-escalation	1. Allows the security department to hire/pay those who are qualified 2. Create a temporary environment of safety while the security officers are trained in verbal de-escalation 3. Moves away from physical restraint	1. Expedites the search for equipment and training 2. Gives basic self-defense to those around them. 3. Getting trained from someone in the same organization		1. Continuous training to further developed skills and creating a safe environment for all of the individuals involved 2. Gain insight that would not be available to those without the law enforcement experience 3. The two security teams work together to refine their tactics which can also shape the policies together. In an organization with the same policy and tactics would have a less chance of a loss in court, if the situation landed there.
Stakeholder Community Needs		Data Source		Data Collection Method
1. Additional funding for equipment and training for security 2. Get sufficient training from the law enforcement side 3. Unify responses and policies for situations that involve security actions. The unison can lessen the chance of litigation issues.		>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Leave Blank<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<		>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Leave Blank<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
