ToolPublished Dec 14, 2018

This pilot tool aims to help law enforcement agencies easily find policing strategies they can use. The tool has two broad objectives. The first is to synthesize and disseminate information on policing strategies (including summaries, key process steps, important things to do and to avoid doing, and specific examples) in a form that is readily accessible to practitioners and decisionmakers. The second objective is to provide agencies with general assistance on implementing novel strategies, with a focus on supporting leadership and organizational change management. Because it is a pilot, the tool is expected to develop over time with improvements to the research core, content, presentation, and functionality.
