What is strategic policing focused on?

  1. Community engagement and public relations

  2. Improving the efficiency and technical capabilities of police

  3. Strategies for international police cooperation

  4. Reduction of police force numbers

The correct answer is: Improving the efficiency and technical capabilities of police

Strategic policing is focused on improving the efficiency and technical capabilities of police, rather than community engagement and public relations (option A), strategies for international police cooperation (option C), or the reduction of police force numbers (option D). This approach to policing involves implementing long-term plans and utilizing data and technology to target and address crime in a more effective and proactive manner, rather than simply responding to incidents as they occur. This provides a more systematic and data-driven approach to law enforcement, rather than relying solely on community relationships or international cooperation. The goal is to optimize resources and improve the overall effectiveness of policing.
