Explain differential police response and its impact on the police.

What will be an ideal response?


Differential police response (DPR) involves using alternative methods of response to deal with nonemergency or less serious offenses. Instead of dispatching a patrol car to every call for assistance, officers can handle less serious calls via phone, the Intranet, or even have citizens come to the station to file complaints or reports. Studies have shown that DPR can free up officers to deal with other, more pressing issues, or to respond more quickly to emergency situations.
