Traditional
Policing
• Traditional policing model refers to a crime
management approach in which police
officers respond only to reported criminal
activities. This model applies as a response
strategy to crime alerts. This model allows
police officers to work closely with detectives.
Evidence gathered from a crime scene is used
to prepare a report, which a detective uses to
carryout investigations.

• Example
• Random patrol across all parts in the

Community Oriented
policing
This style of policing emphasizes on the need for
police officers to engage community members in
preventing and eliminating crime. Police officers
often interact with people everywhere they work.
The interactions develop out of the fact that
community members rely on police officers to
provide security, ensure order, and provide
response services during emergencies. On the
other hand, police officers also rely on
community members to report criminal activities

Pros
Community members play a crucial role in
effective policing by providing vital information
applied in analyzing certain crime patterns. These
two groups of people have strengthened their
relations over the last couple of years as they
continually increase their expectations and
responsibilities to each other when it comes to
law enforcement. They have learnt the benefits of
working together for the sake of a common goal.
Under this model, police officers operate in
specified geographic zones where they actively
engage the people living there in crime
prevention and management strategies. The
police officers develop close relations with
community members by making themselves
available and easily accessible in case of anything
Cons
A major disadvantage is that the only way that
community policing is with community involvement.
There must be an established partnership between the
police officers and the community. Without the trust
and involvement of the community, any attempts at
community policing will fail. “Police and there would-
be partners do not always value the same, or even
compatible, things”. Effective community policing
requires a long-term commitment from everyone
involved. It is not a quick fix. Ongoing relationships must
be established and maintained. Another disadvantage to
community policing is making sure that the right people
are heading up the project. The focus should be of
improving the community and not using the program to
advance their own personal career or agendas.

Intelligence led
policing
Intelligence led policing model is a style of policing
where police officers rely on assessing and managing
risks by identifying crime patterns. This policing model
is slightly different from the others because the course
of operations is dependent on police officers and not
the crime. With all the other policing models, the
nature of crime committed often provides the guide
for police officers who conduct investigations.
Intelligence led policing does not focus a lot on the
crime, but instead focuses more on surveillance and
having informants who feed the police officers with
information that shows the development of crime
patterns under assessment

Problem oriented
policing
This model lays a lot of emphasis on efforts geared
towards preventing crime. This model allows police
officers to work on identifying and analyzing crimes in
their area of operation. Their analysis develops
strategies that are used to give effective responses
whenever the identified crimes are reported. According
to Herman Goldstein, who developed this policing
model, it is very important for police officers to
concentrate on eradicating crime instead of focusing
on managing it. Goldstein developed this model as an
improvement to the traditional model of policing,
which focused on managing crime without making any
efforts to establish its source.
