Aims
To provide the students with an appreciation of the concept of evidence-based policing. Discussing a range of key concepts relating to criminology, exploring the relationship between community engagement, crime prevention, and the local force strategy for developing an effective digital policing capability. DAs will be able to identity the importance of information and intelligence to all areas of policing. Recognising the impact data protection regulations, have upon professional policing, whilst identifying practical issues pertaining to the collection, retention and sharing of information and intelligence.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Explain the professional concept of evidence-based policing, identifying potential sources of evidence that can be used as part of the evidenced based policing approach. Consider the relevance of different approaches, demonstrating evidenced based practice utilising appropriate problem solving techniques.
2.
Explore the relationship between community engagement and crime prevention, linking sources to specific crime problems by examining a range of key concepts relating to criminology, exploring the relationship between offending and victimisation.
3.
Consider the role of the police constable in dealing with internet facilitated crime, the key terms and behaviours used to initiate internet crime, and the legislation, policies and procedures available to prevent such crimes, that also deal with victims and perpetrators (Please note this is covered in the Cyber Crime Sessions).
4.
Identify the procedures of storage and retention of evidence.

The Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours covered in this module are:
Knowledge
- Applicable aspects of Authorised Professional Practice (the official source of policing professional practice), legal and organisational requirements relating to the operational policing context (response, community, intelligence, investigation and roads/transport).
- Systematically gather, submit and share information and intelligence to further policing-related outcomes.
- Social behaviour and society, including their origins, development, organisation, networks and institutions and how this relates to policing across diverse and increasingly complex communities.
- The causes, mitigations and prevention of crime and how this knowledge and understanding can Influence and be applied to accountable decision-making in all operational policing environments.
- In-depth knowledge, understanding and expertise relevant to organisational/local needs, including the following operational policing contexts: response, community, intelligence, investigation and roads/transport.
- Different approaches to systematic evidence-based preventative policing, including how to critically analyse, interpret, implement, share and evaluate findings to problem solve and further positive outcomes. These may relate to internal organisational practice or external social or criminal factors
Skills
- Apply Authorised Professional Practice and any local policy applicable to the operational policing context.
- Gather, handle and accurately analyse information and intelligence from a variety of sources to support law enforcement and to maximise policing effectiveness.
- Proactively introduce new ways of working and innovation to police work where appropriate and possible, and apply critical thinking across policing activities within own area of responsibility.
- Plan, apply and evaluate different policing approaches alongside partner organisations or as part of a multi-disciplinary team to address identified, often complex, issues, concerns and situations to reduce and prevent crime in communities. Provide supportive leadership to community groups, making informed decisions that encourage the delivery of localised strategies.
Behaviours:
- Curious and Innovative: Have an inquisitive and outward-looking nature, searching for new information to understand alternative sources of best practice and implement creative working methods. Committed to reflecting on how own role is undertaken, learning from success and mistakes, to continuously review and adapt approach.
- Collaborative: Work effectively with colleagues and external partners, sharing skills, knowledge and insights as appropriate to lead to the best possible results.
