Common misconceptions may discourage police from using this proven method of optimising policing and enhancing safety.
One misunderstanding is that EBP is just another policing model or passing fad. In fact, it isn't a model or strategy at all but afor evaluating and optimising a policing approach. It doesn't replace models such as community policing, sector policing or zero-tolerance policing. But it can help law enforcement agencies anywhere in the world identify which strategy best fits a particular situation, and help implement and improve that strategy.EBP's strength lies in its universality.
An example of an EBP approach is to divide an area into two zones, each with different levels of police patrols. After a set period, burglary rates from both areas are compared. If the zone with increased patrols shows a significant reduction compared to the other, a causal link between more patrols and less crime could be established.
