Trends that will increase by the year 2000 include Hispanic political empowerment, Hispanic community/police rapport, police recruitment resources and sophistication, police applicant failure factors, and cross-cultural police education. High probability events that will significantly impact law enforcement are consent decree, appointment of a Hispanic chief or city manager, police killing of a Hispanic, and election of a Hispanic mayor. The futures analysis indicates a proactive police position is needed. Policy recommendations emphasize the development of a full-time police recruitment program and other innovative measures. The model strategic plan includes specific implementation components, while the transition management plan describes an appropriate management structure and supporting technologies. Commitment, communications, and understanding are identified as essential ingredients of successful Hispanic police recruitment efforts.
