Impact of Social Policy
Use Rosenberg Fire Department (https://rosenbergtx.gov/public-safety/fire-department-2/ to discuss the impact that social policy has had on this organization. Identify one policy in your discussion analyzing whether or not the impact has been positive or negative. Provide an explanation for your reasoning. 
Suggestion from the Professor:
First, select a social policy that impacts the daily operations of the organization you selected. When providing an explanation for your position, make sure to support your analysis with references to outside sources. This is not an opinion based analysis, but rather one based on a thorough analysis of the policy and its impact of your organization. Finally, select and summarize a policy that also applies to your organization and explain why it may be a better fit.
