PLANNING APPROACHES
Is the traditional method for planning. The majority of other planning strategies have it as their foundation. It significantly depends on the study of the planning and problem-solving process.
A. SYNOPTIC METHOD
claims that long term planning is not only fundamentally harmful but also too difficult. When difficulties are lumped together, they are deemed to be too difficult to fix.
INCREMENTAL METHOD
planning involves direct communication with those who will be impacted by the plan, as opposed to an unidentified target population of beneficiaries.
C. TRANSACTIVE METHOD
This strategy has advantages including a greater sensitivity to the unforeseen and detrimental repercussion of plans
D. ADVOCACY METHOD
The first mainstream involves group efforts to produce tangible outcomes right away. The second mainstream is critical of large-scale social processes for permeating all facets of social and economic life and for influencing how social problems are structured and developed through time
RADICAL METHOD
Strategic options are various courses of action that an organization might at some point take. They are affected by outside forces over which the organization has only a limited amount of control.
ALTERNATIVE PLANNING STRATEGIES
Involves both inside and outside.
A. ENVIRONMENTAL SCANNING
Involves foreseeing results.
B. FORECASTING
Is the process of looking for replicating best practices.

D. CONTIGENCY PLAN
is a complex and extensive process that involves a number of overlapping and interconnected elements or stages.
Classification of law enforcement plans according to time
Planning
Plans can be classified according to their time frame as follows:
LONG RANGE PLANS
MEDIUM RANGE
SHORT RANGE
The generally accepted timetable is more that five years. It deals with a lot of uncertainty and includes capital budgeting, environmental analysis, organizational audit, and strategies.
. LONG RANGE PLANS
These are the plans whose timelines are in between one (1) to five (5) years and supportive to long range plans
B. MEDIUM RANGE
These are intended to attain short-term objectives and may last up to a year.
C. SHORT RANGE
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD PLAN

- Identifying Alternative Solution
Normally , the first planning question is “what needs to be accomplished” What is the desired future step?
- Setting Planning Goals

Preparing for Planning
The first step in the beginning is to identify problems is to assess the present situation, describing the current state of affairs that may involve scarining the environment, and performing research both inside and outside the organization.
- Identifying the Problem
Once a problem is identified, alternative courses of action must be built-out for analysis
- Identifying Alternative Solution
STAGES IN POLICE PLANNING ACTIVITIES
- FRAME OF REFERENCE
- CLARIFYING THE PROBLEMS
- COLLECTING PERTINENT FACTS
- ANALYSING THE FACTS
- DEVELOPING ALTERNATIVE PLANS
- SELECTING APPROPRIATE ALTERNATIVE
- SELLING THE PLAN
- ARRANGING FOR EXECUTIONS OF THE PLAN
This shall be based on a careful selection of matters relating to the situations in which plans are being developed, and the opinions or ideas of individual persons who may speak woth authority on the subject concerned.
FRAME OF REFERENCE
This calls for the identification of the problem, understanding both its record and its possible solutions
- CLARIFYING THE PROBLEMS
Attempt shall not be made to develop a plan until all facts relating to it have been gathered and collated.
- COLLECTING PERTINENT FACTS
After all data have been gathered, a careful analysis and evaluation for its usefulness shall be made, and to deduce conclusion from it.
- ANALYSING THE FACTS
In the initial phase of plan development, several alternative measures will appear to be logically comparable to the needs of a situation.
- DEVELOPING ALTERNATIVE PLANS
A careful consideration of all facts usually leads to the selection of “best” of all alternative proposal
- SELECTING APPROPRIATE ALTERNATIVE
A plan to be effectively carried out must be accepted by all personnel concerned at the appropriate level of the plans development.
- SELLING THE PLAN
