An operational strategy of today's police departments is problem solving techniques, also known as Problem-Oriented Policing. There are several models of POP, including SARA, and CAPRA
Choose one of these models and explain the steps involved in their implementation.
The police begin by communicating with the clients most affected by community problems. Information is acquired and analyzed to determine the problem's causes. Solutions are developed through community partnerships. The police respond with a workable plan. After plan implementation, the police periodically assess the situation to ensure progress. The methodology of police problem solving is known by acronyms such as SARA (scanning, analysis, response, and assessment) or CAPRA (clients, acquired/analyzed, partnerships, respond, assess). CAPRA was developed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who built on the earlier SARA process. This is the CAPRA process:
• The police begin by communicating with the clients most affected by community problems.
• Information is acquired and analyzed to determine the problem's causes.
• Solutions are developed through community partnerships.
• The police respond with a workable plan.
• After plan implementation, the police periodically assess the situation to ensure progress.
