Summary

"Like all organizations, police agencies collect, store, process, analyze, interpret, and react to information. But they often fail to collect or assemble information useful for assessing their performance. Even when such information is available, they rarely analyze it in meaningful ways, learn from it, and implement changes based on what they have learned. In this paper, a systematic framework will be suggested within which police agencies can make greater use of information and measurement to enhance their capacity for systematic, organizational learning. As they begin to operate like learning laboratories, police organizations will move closer to becoming “intelligent organizations,” capable of continuous reflection, adaptation, and renewal."--Includes text from page 1. .
