  1. 4th International Evidence Based Policing Conference A systematic study of Police Patrol using new technology Neil Wain

  2. Where are the police? • Tackling Patrol Effectively (1996) • Diary of a Police Officer (2001) only 17% officer time on “reassurance patrol”. • In 2010 HMIC asked this question • In its report ‘Demanding Times’ (2011) only 12% “visible” and “available” • Not just a question of where are they or when are they on? But what are they doing?

  3. Police patrol the evidence • Visible Policing is linked to public confidence. • Deterrence theory of patrol now proved • ‘clear, if modest, general deterrent effects of substantial increases in police presence in crime hot spots … [it is time for] criminologists to stop saying “there is no evidence” that police patrol can affect crime’ (Sherman and Weisburd, 1995) • Philadelphia Foot Patrol experiment 2009 • Bratton – “cops on the dots”

  4. Police patrol the evidence • Albert J Reiss Jr • Systematic Social Observation (SSO) • Police field research in 1960/70’s

  5. How Systematic Social Observation is done. “. . .it includes selection of problems for investigation, preliminary investigation by direct observation (optional), definition of the universe to be observed, sampling for observation, development of instruments to collect and record observations systematically, provision for measuring error, pre-testing instruments, organization for direct field observations, processing observations,and quantitative analysis”* *Reiss, “Systematic Observation of Natural Social Phenomena,”

  6. How Systematic Social Observation is done. • “Where” – Geographically defined study areas. • The “When” – specific tours of duty • The “What” – police and citizen behaviours • The “Who” – officers in the beats at selected times.

  7. A systematic study of Police Patrol using new technology - method • Study in GMP • Utilise ARLS, xReplay and FOXi

  8. A systematic study of Police Patrol using new technology - method • “Where” – Set of Police beats/Priority neighbourhoods • Volume of crime • Calls for service • Sociodemographic data • “When” –Specific tours of duty • “What” specific tasked or directed patrol • “Who” Police officers and PCSO’s on patrol.

  9. A systematic study of Police Patrol using new technology – outcomes? • Analysis of patrols tasked to patrol crime hotspots and priority neighbourhoods. • Revealing: • Where police patrol? • Length of time? • Any relationship with crimes/incidents? • Any crime reduction? • Cost effectiveness? • Limitations?

  19. A systematic study of Police Patrol using new technology These are the results of the operation from the areas examined

  20. A systematic study of Police Patrol using new technology • “I’m asking that more researchers begin to work with us and among us in the real-world laboratories of our departments and cities to help us prove or disprove the beliefs and practices that I, as a practitioner, and most of my colleagues deeply believe, espouse, and practice.” Bill Bratton former Commissioner NYPD/LAPD
