What is the intended outcome of CPD's evidence-based practices?

The intended outcome of CPD's evidence-based practices is to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement. Evidence-based practices involve utilizing research, data analysis, and evidence from successful interventions to guide policing strategies and operational decisions. This approach focuses on implementing methods that have been proven to work in reducing crime, improving public safety, and fostering community trust. By relying on empirical evidence, the department can better allocate resources, train officers in effective techniques, and ultimately improve overall outcomes in law enforcement. This emphasis on effectiveness is fundamental to building a police force that can respond to community needs efficiently and responsibly.
