Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary Title: Taking Time for Crime: A Study of How Police Officers Prevent Crime in the Field Summary: This paper sets out the key findings of a short observational study of individual uniformed and detective officers in 36 shifts across six police forces conducted by HMIC, with some accompanying data analysis. The study was designed to examine how frontline officers actually carried out their policing role in the field. Crucially, observers looked at how they were supported in doing this by organisational systems and structures such as technology, intelligence, supervision, or training. The study is intended to trigger discussion about the development of policing that deals with the needs of austerity. It seeks to identify opportunities to shift policing from a reactive to a preventive approach. A preventive policing approach is critical because it reduces crime and the demands that go with it. This study found that an absence of clarity around the mission for policing, together with weaknesses in operational support and limitations in training, are barriers to the majority of constables taking time to prevent crime. This will pose a real difficulty in achieving what the future requires – more for less. Details: London: HMIC, 2012. 22p.
