Deploying A Crime Reduction Strategy
Jerry H. Ratcliffe · 2018
This chapter assumes the reader has completed the first three steps of the PANDA model and is now ready to deploy a crime reduction strategy. The chapter discusses each step in the GOALS checklist that is designed to help structure a deployment model ( Ground commander, Objectives, Analyst, Limits, and Support ). Each item is described in detail, with emphasis on SMART objectives. Cognitive and social loafing, and mission creep are explained in relation to deployment. The second part of the chapter describes a number of important aspects of operational command. These include the supervision style that you or your team adopt in the field. Other operational leadership aspects include demonstrating an investment in the plan, visiting sites frequently, avoiding mission creep, and sticking to a review timetable.
