PROMPTS:
You will have to write two ‘reports’ about a topic of your choice. Here we can see how pronounced your writing is and how creative you are. Use your own formatting and your own report idea. (If you’re found plagiarizing an actual report or another applicant, you will be denied.)
#1 - General report. Report about a topic, informing player’s about an event or significant issues to Karakura.
Gang crime. We've seen our good share of it, and maybe you commit some too. I don't judge about rising issues, but we've seen a recent spike over the years, and some have fallen victim to it. As someone who nearly fell victim to a frightful attack via gangs, Karakura Police Department still has yet to implement some sort of system to keep even more eyes on the city we know, love, and live in. That's why this is an article on how exactly KPD can fix the crime spree issues and keep criminals off the streets of Karakura and out of students' minds.
First idea is to introduce more surveillance around Karakura. Funding may be more costly, but at least the cost won't be someone's lost leg - or their life. Cameras should be introduced into more "desolate" areas that might actually be hiding dangerous criminals in their shadows. More secure sewer entrances will also lower said crimes, since most Black Market Purchases are negotiated and crimes are committed right under our feet - quite literally. A final band-aid to rip off the criminal skin is making a whole black market watchlist - people who have done the most and atrocious that even shuddered the freak of the underworld Asmodeus. Yes, masks, weapons, everything can be monitored by a mole in the system.
#2 - Interview. It’s important to have well-rounded questions. Create your own interview with ten questions or more. And answer them yourself.
