Policing strategies and tactics

Capacity building and system reform of police. This includes interventions such as:

• Concentrated/hotspot policing: Directing police resources to areas where crime is known to occur frequently.
• Problem-oriented policing: The process of problem-oriented policing focuses on analysing data to determine what problems are, there they occur and how to determine a most effective response.
• Data-driven policing: This may include the use of digital technology to collect and examine data.
• Community-oriented policing: Police officers seek to make contact with communities (whether the general population or specific actors such as business owners) and create linkages. This may include meetings or written communications where police and residents make plans and share information. It may also include informal and opportunistic contact to find out citizen concerns.
• Strengthening the ability of law enforcement personnel to tackle specialised issues: For example, supporting them to tackle issues of anti-corruption, organized crime and gender-based violence.
