1. As we wrap up the public/private partnership discussions and based on your week 8 assignment, this is a chance for you to develop a public/private partnership. Consider you are a senior manager in a public organization. You could be a fire or police chief, an emergency manager, run an emergency operations center, etc. It’s your choice. What type of private entity would you foster a public/private partnership with? An example could be private ambulance companies or even businesses like Home Depot or Walmart. During this process, explain why you chose the private entity, how you would build the relationship, what are the benefits, how you would evaluate and benchmark the partnership and is the risk shared? Some to also look at, is there a current partnership that is public safety focused that you would model your partnership after?
