For your culminating project, you will be building a wellness plan for your (or a potential) police or other law enforcement department/facility.  You will write a formal letter to a supervisor or council member recommending your program.  Since it is a letter, please use the letter template provided and address it appropriately.  Your first and closing paragraphs can be written in first person, but the body of the letter should not be written in first person.  Also, remember to use appropriate APA formatting throughout the letter with references provided at the end.  A cover letter is not necessary since it is a letter format.  The suggested length is 3-5 pages (does not include Reference page).
