Document Summary

Clj 240 chapter 4 police organization and operation. The quasi-military style of policing: military model. Community-oriented policing and problem solving - the dominant philosophy and strategy of policing: s. a. r. a. (scanning, analysis, response, assessment) Scanning: a preliminary inquiry to determine whether a problem really exists and further analysis is needed. Analysis: determining the extent of the problem; it is the most difficult and important step in the s. a. r. a. process. The notion that local police are being overly co-opted by federal law enforcement agencies, directing too many resources toward protecting the nation"s borders and other federal duties: militarization. A belief held by some that local police using military-style weapons, tactics, training, uniforms, and even heavy equipment are becoming too militaristic in nature. A policing approach that emphasizes the use of data and analytics as well as improved crime analysis, performance measurement, and evaluation research.
