Crime and Disorder Management 04-18 Flashcards
Intelligence led policing consists of a number of components including
crime management,
disorder resolution,
problem oriented policing,

Community Policing is
an operational philosophy requiring local
police–community partnerships that prioritize and solve problems in order to enhance safety, prevent crime, maintain order,
and enforce the law.
What sets out standards for crime prevention, law enforcement, victim assistance, public order maintenance, emergency

Community Patrol
means the performance of general policing duties in the community by officers assigned to a combination of general and directed patrol, targeted and problem oriented policing initiatives.
Crime analysis
means a set of systematic, analytical processes directed at providing timely and pertinent information
relative to crime patterns and trend correlation. It assists operational and administrative personnel in planning the
deployment of resources for the prevention and suppression of criminal activities, aiding in the investigative process, and
increasing apprehensions and the clearance of cases.
Directed Patrol
means a specific activity designed to address an identified concern within the community. Directed patrols
are activities detailed to officers in order to have specific measurable tasks carried out. This form of patrol may be
enforcement–based but may also be focused on achieving a goal by other means. Directed patrol can be an effective
component in the maintenance of public order and improving the quality of life for the community.
General Patrol
means routine policing activities carried out by officers within a specified area. General patrol is an important
part of community policing that does not specifically focus on or target an identified concern within the community, but
permits officers to accomplish their general policing duties in a non–focused manner.
Guidelines for Divisional Crime Management
There are four (4) key steps in establishing the Crime Management Process at the divisional level.
- Long–term strategic planning and evaluation to set direction for the division
- Short–term/daily tactical planning and evaluation to adjust and react as required
- Integrated Role for Divisional CPLCs
- Targeted Debriefing of All Prisoners
Guidelines for Divisional Crime Management -Long–term strategic planning and evaluation to set direction for the division
Unit Commanders must designate a divisional Crime Manager.
Depending on the unit size, this person should be at a minimum, the Detective Sergeant in charge of the
Detective Office. In those divisions where there is only one Detective Sergeant, efforts should be made to divest
them of administrative duties, so that they can adequately perform their role as Crime Managers.
The divisional Crime Manager will chair the divisional Crime Management Team, which will include
representatives from all sections of the unit, including the Unit Commander and representation from the local
Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC).
The divisional Crime Management Team must meet, at a minimum, quarterly starting at the first of the year to
establish the crime priorities and strategies for the unit.
Divisional strategies will be based on Service priorities and identified crime management problems. Evolving
local or neighbourhood problems and other strategies approved by the Chief and Command may be added.
The Crime Manager will be responsible for the internal and external communication of divisional crime
management strategies and results.
The measurement process should include a frequent survey of officers on crime management issues to assist
in setting divisional priorities.

The divisional Crime Analyst will provide the Profile Sheet and appropriate additional data to the Crime
Management Team who will review, measure and evaluate strategies.
Special information (i.e. suspect information, problem areas, etc.), will be catalogued and regularly provided to
all members of the division by the divisional Crime Analyst.
The Unit Commander will establish a mechanism to facilitate community input and provide feedback on results
to the community on crime related issues.
Guidelines for Divisional Crime Management - Short–term/daily tactical planning and evaluation to adjust and react as required

Divisional CPLCs will be partners involved in the crime management process and will assist the problem
identification, problem solving and evaluation systems.
The measurement process will include surveys of the community
