Law enforcement is entering an age of predictive policing and big data, yet the field still has numerous policies that are largely by tradition, rather than evidence.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Evidence-Based Policing in Oregon<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Against this backdrop of tradition, Oregon has emerged as a pioneer of evidence-based policing. It is the only U.S. state with a statewide mandate\u2014the 2013 Justice Reinvestment Act\u2014that includes the promotion of evidence-based policing via the state\u2019s centralized training academy for law enforcement.<sup>1<\/sup> With an academy that integrates evidence-based policing into curricula for both \u00a0new recruits and recently promoted leaders, Oregon has become a case-in-point for other states and agencies looking to improve their law enforcement policies and practices.<\/p>\n<p>The epicenter of evidence-based policing in Oregon is the state\u2019s Center for Policing Excellence (CPE), within the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). Established in 2013, CPE provides both training and technical assistance. Through formal training, the center reached 410 recruits and more than 180 supervisors and managers in 2018 alone. The CPE\u2019s staff researcher has fielded more than 30 research assistance requests from agencies statewide since 2016 and has assisted with the continuing evolution of research curriculum and student research projects. Addressing the oft-cited financial hurdle of project implementation, CPE has also administered more than 20 micro-grants to help jumpstart evidence-based crime prevention and community livability projects.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>A Legislative Framework<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In 2013, the Oregon Legislature passed the Justice Reinvestment Act, which mandated system-wide criminal justice reform across the state. Thanks to influential lawmakers and police executives, CPE was established as one part of this statewide push toward evidence-based policies and research-informed practices. The act mandated the advancement of criminal justice research and academic-practitioner partnerships, and tasked the CPE with designing and delivering training and resources to law enforcement across the state, including evidence-based components.<\/p>\n<p>In partnership with the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, CPE helped to launch the <a href=\"http:\/\/okb.oregon.gov\">Oregon Knowledge Bank<\/a>, an online clearinghouse for criminal justice research and innovative initiatives. Through the Oregon Knowledge Bank, police officers and leaders can learn more about programs that have been implemented across the state to prevent crime, reduce victimization, and improve quality of life. In its first two years, the Oregon Knowledge Bank has attracted almost 30,000 new visitors. CPE has incorporated the Oregon Knowledge Bank into its basic police training, which is delivered to 40 new recruits each month, as well as its leadership curriculum, taught to 24 public safety leaders bimonthly. In both cases, the students who receive training are from the diverse array of agencies\u2014city, county, state, tribal, and university\u2014that make up Oregon law enforcement.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>The Impact of an Evidence-Based Approach<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>CPE works on a statewide level and interacts with officers primarily through its trainings and the annual Oregon Problem-Oriented Policing Conference. From that 10,000-foot level, it can be hard to gauge on-the-ground impact. Nonetheless, the impact of the CPE\u2019s efforts can be seen in the agencies across the state that are implementing its evidence-based teachings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Perhaps one of the most telling success stories from the CPE\u2019s evidence-based initiative is the Corvallis Police Department. Armed with evidence-based training and resources, the department\u2019s Community Livability Unit began to examine how police could respond more effectively to chronic problems. As one of its first projects, the team of officers investigated a chronic nuisance problem involving local college students. After holding focus groups, reaching out to similarly sized agencies across the state, and comparing student population to calls for service, Corvallis Police Department developed effective strategies\u2014including working with landlords\u2014to reduce chronic nuisance complaints. Another Corvallis Police Department project includes using research to investigate bike theft geography, analyzing data to maximize enforcement and prevention efforts, and using GPS tracking technologies in proactive criminal apprehension.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Partnership with the National Institute of Justice<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In 2017, Oregon\u2019s Center for Policing Excellence partnered with the Law Enforcement Advancing Data and Science (LEADS) Agencies program, an initiative of the National Institute of Justice. The goal of LEADS Agencies is to encourage law enforcement agencies to use data and research to inform their policies and practices and to build internal capacity to conduct data collection and research.<sup>2<\/sup> Through its LEADS Agencies partnership, the CPE will both receive technical support from the U.S. federal government and be a resource for other law enforcement agencies trying to use data and research to inform policies and practices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Evidence-based policing in Oregon is a perfect storm of things going right: supportive policy makers, legislative and structural infrastructure, and top-notch training. Yet even in this environment, it\u2019s not an easy journey. Evidence-based policing is a mind-set, not a prescribed checklist or agenda, and it can be difficult for officers and agencies to take the initiative to move beyond what has always been done. CPE hopes that, over time, it can help increase law enforcement agencies\u2019 use of data to define problems and willingness to turn to research to inform policy and practice.<\/p>\n<p><strong><aside class=\"pullout pullout--wide alignleft\"> A<\/strong><strong>ction Items<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Promote and encourage critical thinking among leadership and front-line staff by providing opportunities for officers to spearhead evidence-based projects that are both relevant to the agency and of interest to the officer.<\/li>\n<li>Stay up-to-date on newly added programs and research on the Oregon Knowledge Bank (OKB) for new ideas and implementation strategies from small agencies.<\/li>\n<li>Use resources such as the OKB and CrimeSolutions.gov to find research summaries on effective programs and practices.<\/li>\n<li>Build community partnerships with a wide array of government agencies, local businesses and non-profit service providers.
