Document Summary

Developing + implementing evidence-based policies + practice: evidence-based practice ! Ongoing challenge is to ensure that police work is informed by the ndings of evaluation research : ex. cost-bene t analysis ! Not currently the case : most police agencies dont currently include an evaluation component, and in instances where there is, the impact on operational practice is minimal! Have been slow to adopt evidence-based strategies and to discard policies + programs that are not effective: challenges to developing evidence-based practices! Resistance of policymakers to new strategies : two-days/ two nights/ four off shift ! The sifting of parol of cers should be determined by analysis of the demands of services : police of cers are deployed in 8,10,+12 hour shifts despite evidence that. The cost of new initiatives: government is more reluctant to provide services with additional resources without documentation indicating what it will be used for !
