Abstract Within the following paragraphs and presentation Team A will identify the research proposal of the education and mindset behind the choice of a career in law enforcement. The objective of the research is to understand and develop funding needed for that choice. The proposal will include the methods used, the factors, significance behind the design, procedures followed, and if the results are confirmed within the hypothesis. The anticipated outcome of this research is to understand why the choice of a career in law enforcement and address the needs of education and funding to help fulfill that choice. A foundation for the program design and polices needed for development of educational needs will be set within the following proposal. The issue Team A will be examining is the education of officers, why they decided on that career choice, what motivated them and what was needed to fulfill that goal. The significance of this issue is to develop an idea of what is needed of an individual to become an officer. In general terms the proposed study is the psychology that lies behind the mindset of a career in law enforcement. To identify that psychology the design Team A will be using is qualitative with a scientific method of inductive or “bottom-up.” With a qualitative approach the proposal will use an objective, formal, systematic process in which the research will rely primarily on the collection of qualitative data. Research questions would be based on why that choice, what motivated the individual, what direction of education was needed and did those choices fulfill the goal that person had set to fulfill. This proposed study will help to aid in financial funding, physical, and social development of education and background issues within certain communities. The study may help in research
