PANDA
The future of policing is ___, ____, ____, and ____.

The PANDA Model
Describe
Problem scan
Analyze problem
Nominate strategy
Deploy strategy
Assess outcomes
PANDA is command driven, problem-solving model for crime, harm, and disorder concerns.
PANDA
Problem= Clearly scan, describe, and frame the problems in your area. Select priorities for attention
PANDA
Analysis= Establish what is known and not yet understood about the prioritized issues, and what needs to be learned. You form a mission at this stage–the goal you want to achieve.
PANDA
Nominate= Nominate a VIPER strategy to addess victims, intelligence gaps, prevention, enforcement, and reassurance.
PANDA
Deploy= Deploy your strategy with objectives, geopgraphy, time frame, and assignement of people responsible for leading, implementing, and analyzing.
PANDA
Assess= Assess the success of your deployment and project outcomes, and consider the next steps.
Problem Scan (PANDA)
Problem Scan
* Chronic? Spike? Panic?
* Long term?
* Short-term flare-up?
* Signal crime or public panic?
p.25
Analysis (PANDA)
Analyze the problem using a VOLTAGE analysis
* Victims
* Offenders
* Locations
* Times
* Attractors
* Groups
* Enhancers
VOLTAGE Analysis
Victims= what patterns of victimization are present?
Offenders= what do we know/not know about offenders?
Locations= what are the characteristics of the place?
Time= what are the significant temporal trends or hot times?
Attractors= what about the places where crime clusters?
Groups= any gangs or groups of victims involved?
Enhancers= what role of drugs, alcohol, or mental health?
VOLTAGE Analysis
Victims= what patterns of victimization are present?
Offenders= what do we know/not know about offenders?
Locations= what are the characteristics of the place?
Time= what are the significant temporal trends or hot times?
Attractors= what about the places where crime clusters?
Groups= any gangs or groups of victims involved?
Enhancers= what role of drugs, alcohol, or mental health?
This is a component of the “A” in PANDA problem solving model
Nominate a strategy (PANDA)
NOMINATE a strategy addressing VIPER issues:
Victim support
Intelligence gaps
Prevention
Enforcement
Reassurance
VIPER Issues
Victim support= any specific activites that can aid victims?
Intelligence gaps= who can be tasked to fill intelligence gaps?
Prevention= what can be done without police resources?
Enforcement= where can focused police enforcement help?
Reassurance= are public reassurance activities needed?
Deploy a strategy (PANDA)
Deploy a strategy utilizing GOALS:
Ground Commander
Objectives
Analyst
Limits
Support
GOALS to be addressed
PANDA= Deployment of Strategy
Ground Commander= who will be responsible for implementation?
Objectives= what the project objectives?
Analyst= who will monitor and analyze data?
Limits= spatial and temporal extents of the project?
Support= what additional support is needed?
Assess outcomes (PANDA)
Assess outcomes utilizing OILRIG
Outcomes achieved?
Implemented?
Lessons learned?
Results?
Intelligence?
GOALS to be revised?
OILRIG assessment
Outcomes achieved= were your original outcomes achieved?
Implemented= was the project implemented as planned?
Lessons learned= what additional lessons have been learned?
Results= are the results acceptable?
Intelligence= has any useful intelligence been gained?
GOALS revision= do any GOALS needed to be revised?
In policing, ____ ____ means to gather information about the problems, challenges, and threats to your community.
