Essentially the proposition of the paper is that because policing is local/regional in its nature (ie. community based) and Organized Crime is moving increasingly towards being transnational in its approach to business; there is a conflict in the structures and strategies of police agencies to deal with the OC problem. Now you are free to generally agree or disagree with that proposition but it is important to ensure to consider both sides of the argument (ie. agreement and disagreement) in your paper.
