Aims
The module is intended to ensure that DAs have the knowledge understanding and
skills to conduct more complex issues, in a Community Policing context.
They will review the evidence base in this area and research how to implement and
develop practical solutions to provide effective policing methods in this area whilst
furthering their own competence within the pathway.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Formulate a range of problem-solving approaches that can be applied to reduce
community tension and promote community cohesion.
2.
Critique key emerging issues, problems or concerns faced by a range of
communities.
3.
Evaluate the impact of potential challenges to community policing and the future
role of the community constable.
4.
Appraise the evidence base specifically associated with community impact of
major and critical incidents.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Community intelligence Community tension indicators Monitoring communities Problem analysis and solving techniques Crime prevention and reduction strategies Strategies for defusing tension Identification of emerging issues, problems or concerns faced by the community Impact on community/service Encouraging community ownership of a community issue Key considerations related to possible intervention e.g.: • Community layout • Timing(s) of intervention • Resources • Contingencies • Cost Potential future challenges and opportunities: • Financial constraints • Competing priorities • Resourcing challenges/expectations • Ability to continue to deliver community policing in its present form • Advances in technology • Changing crime types and patterns Evolving knowledge and skills requirements Adaptability to changing needs and priorities

Additional Information:
Each of the Pathways are specified by the PSRB and the employing force. This module will sit alongside the research project and ensure the student has the required knowledge. It is not a research project in itself.
Indicative Content: 1 Critically evaluate a range of problem-solving approaches that can be applied to reduce community tension and promote community cohesion 1.1 Information gathering and analysis: • Community intelligence • Community tension indicators • Monitoring communities 1.2 How to develop a hypothesis for community policing, based on information 1.3 Options for interventions: • Problem analysis and solving techniques 1.4 Potential impacts of police interventions upon community confidence, and achieving a reduction in crime and disorder 1.5 Resource allocation strategies: • Crime prevention and reduction strategies • Strategies for defusing tension 1.6 Reflective practice 1.7 How results can be used to inform future community policing strategies 2 Examine key emerging issues, problems or concerns faced by the community 2.1 Based on ongoing community engagement: • Identification of emerging issues, problems or concerns faced by the community • Impact on community/service • Encouraging community ownership of a community issue 2.2 Community expectations versus partnership capabilities 2.3 Justification/rationale for/against further examination of issue, problem or concern 2.4 Key considerations related to possible intervention e.g.: • Community layout • Timing(s) of intervention • Resources • Contingencies • Cost 3 Evaluate the impact of potential challenges to community policing and the future role of the community constable 3.1 Potential future challenges and opportunities: • Financial constraints • Competing priorities • Resourcing challenges/expectations • Ability to continue to deliver community policing in its present form • Advances in technology • Changing crime types and patterns 3.2 Future role of community police officers and special constabulary: • Evolving knowledge and skills requirements • Adaptability to changing needs and priorities
