Accepted Answer

Tactical intelligence provides information and analysis to support decisions related to specific incidents, investigations, and operations. Informative intelligence provides general knowledge about a particular topic, while long-range and strategic intelligence covers broader trends and future possibilities.

Question 2

With ______ policing, individual officers have little contact with citizens in the community, unless the latter are victims or perpetrators of crime.&#10;A) community&#10;B) traditional&#10;C) problem-oriented&#10;D) strategic&#10;E) all of the above

Accepted Answer

Traditional policing is more reactive and focused on law enforcement rather than community engagement. Officers primarily respond to crimes and do not have as much interaction with community members unless it is related to a crime. Community policing, problem-oriented policing, and strategic policing all emphasize community engagement and building relationships with citizens.

Question 3

As one of its basic principles, ______ policing requires police and citizens to join as partners in the course of both identifying and developing solutions to the causes of crime and disorder.&#10;A) community&#10;B) traditional&#10;C) problem-oriented&#10;D) strategic&#10;E) all of the above

Accepted Answer

Community policing emphasizes the importance of collaboration and partnership between police and communities in identifying and addressing the root causes of crime and disorder. Traditional policing, on the other hand, relies on a more reactive approach that focuses on responding to crimes after they have occurred. Problem-oriented and strategic policing are both approaches that can be used within the framework of community policing. Thus, the best choice given the question is A) community.

Question 4

COMPSTAT is based on:&#10;A) accurate and timely intelligence.&#10;B) effective tactics.&#10;C) rapid deployment.&#10;D) relentless follow-up and assessment.&#10;E) all of the above.

Accepted Answer

COMPSTAT (short for COMPuter STATistics) is a law enforcement management and accountability system that is based on accurate and timely intelligence, effective tactics, rapid deployment, and relentless follow-up and assessment. Therefore, all of the above options are necessary components of COMPSTAT.

In its narrowest context, ______ policing emphasizes efficient and effective delivery of police services, targeting crime hot spots.&#10;A) community&#10;B) traditional&#10;C) problem-oriented&#10;D) strategic&#10;E) all of the above

Accepted Answer

The emphasis on efficient and effective delivery of police services targeting crime hot spots is a characteristic of strategic policing. Community policing emphasizes building relationships with the community, traditional policing emphasizes maintaining order and enforcing laws, and problem-oriented policing emphasizes identifying and addressing underlying problems that contribute to crime.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Strategic policing involves utilizing a combination of various tools and approaches, which include risks and needs assessments, analyzing crime trends, gathering accurate and timely intelligence, and recognizing the changing character of a community. Therefore, all of the above options are essential in addressing crime and disorder strategically.

Question 7

The primary focus of the ______ policing approach is the development of skills, procedures, and research techniques necessary to analyze and solve crime and disorder problems.&#10;A) community&#10;B) traditional&#10;C) problem-oriented&#10;D) strategic&#10;E) all of the above

Accepted Answer

The primary focus of problem-oriented policing is to analyze and solve crime and disorder problems through the development of skills, procedures, and research techniques. While community, traditional, and strategic policing approaches also address crime and disorder, they may not prioritize problem-solving to the same extent as problem-oriented policing. Therefore, the best choice would be C) problem-oriented.

Accepted Answer

The public expects the police to prevent crime and disorder, bring to account those who disobey the law, be impartial, fair, effective, and restrained in the use of authority, and exhibit ethical behavior and assume leadership roles. All of the above choices are important expectations that the public has of law enforcement.

Accepted Answer

Strategic policing involves targeting high-volume offenders and locations, which is a visionary incorporation of police methods. This approach is different from traditional policing methodologies and is in alignment with the principles of community policing. Random patrol and rapid response to calls for police service are not the main focus of strategic policing. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect. Option D is also incorrect because strategic policing is actually in line with Robert Peel's principles of policing. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
