Precision Policing

We believe that precision policing represents the next phase of the policing revolution.

Precision policing is an organizing principle for the complexities of structuring, managing, motivating, and leading a twenty-first-century police force.

The second broad theme of precision policing: whereas focused crime-and-disorder enforcement targets the few who make communities unsafe, neighborhood policing works with the large number of residents who make communities strong.

Commissioner O'Neill has called neighborhood policing the "Greatest change to NYPD patrol in more than 50 years, and the largest systematic outreach to New York's communities in department history." It borrows significantly from two sources: the Boston Fenway Neighborhood Policing initiative, established by Bratton during the 1970s and guided by consultant Robert Wasserman; and the long-established Senior Lead Officer, or SLO, program used by the Los Angeles Police Department, which Bratton led from 2001 to 2009.

Neighborhood policing and focused crime-and-disorder enforcement form the operational backbone of precision policing.

Precision policing is a framework to ensure that the police collaborate with the community in meaningful ways-building police legitimacy because the methods are integrated into the heart of patrol work, not viewed as an ancillary function.

Precision policing ensures that police use connectivity more than enforcement and that when enforcement is necessary, it is accurately focused.
