TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Mission-based policing: rethinking the relationship of police to crime JO - Police practice and research A1 - Crank, John A1 - Irlbeck, Dawn A1 - Murray, Rebecca A1 - Sundermeier, Mark SP - 103 EP - 120 VL - 13 IS - 2 N2 - This paper presents a model of urban policing based on deployment by serious crime. The deployment of line officers transitions from a district-based focus on 'keeping a lid on crime' to permanent staging of personnel within hot zones, based on POP intelligence assessment of serious crime characteristics, and carried out inside a model based on command integrity instead of current, highly decentralized (line-level) decision-making. A strategic model for deployment, based on counter-insurgency practices, enables security to be logically tied to long-term areal development and economic reinvestment.
