"This is one in a series of papers that will be published as a result of Harvard’s Executive Session on Policing and Public Safety. In the early 1980s, an Executive Session on Policing helped resolve many law enforcement issues of the day. It produced a number of papers and concepts that revolutionized policing. Thirty years later, law enforcement has changed and NIJ and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government are again collaborating to help resolve law enforcement issues of the day."--Page 1.

Summary

"The Heron City case study is divided into three parts — Case A, Case B and Teaching Notes. The case study is designed to serve as a basis for discussions regarding: (a) the relationships among a range of current policing strategies, and (b) the nature of analytic support that modern operational policing requires. The broad strategic or organizational approaches discussed in the case study include: community policing, Compstat (as an organizational approach to crime-reduction tasks), problem-oriented policing, evidence-based policing, intelligence-led policing. Heron City is fictional. So are all the characters in the following narrative."--Pages1-2.
