"This is one in a series of reports originally developed with some of the leading figures in American policing during their periodic meetings at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. The reports are published so that Americans interested in the improvement and the future of policing can share in the information and perspectives that were part of extensive debates at the School's Executive Session on Policing (1985-1991)."--Page 1.

Summary

"Police strategies are continuously evolving and diverse. Nevertheless, common threads are readily discernible, both within the United States and internationally. Some of the more significant trends have acquired names. Two of the most prominent are community policing and problem-solving policing. They are not the same, or mutually exclusive. However, they certainly are compatible, can be complementary, and have emerged as partners in many departments. Both are regarded by many people as representing real promise for the future of policing. The relative merits of these two strategies have been discussed elsewhere. The task at hand is to look at the situation facing a police executive committed to these new strategies and deduce the implications for information technology strategy."--Page 2.
