• EVIDENCE-BASED POLICING

The Evidence-Based policing is an approach to policymaking and tactical decision-making for police departments. Advocates of evidence-based policing emphasize the value of statistical data of evidence-based policing in action.

Examples of evidence-based policing show promising results that might be applicable in your jurisdictions. The research is based on rigorous evaluation often done with randomized controlled trials (RCTs), considered the gold standard in scientific methodology. [4-6] RCTs are methodology designs used to compare the counterfactual (what would have happened at the same time as the intervention) but were not discovered because something else was done. They are essentially randomized comparisons of an equal number of treatments (interventions) compared to the business as usual (controls). ​​

They started on 9 January 2020 and will end at the end of August 2020.
