Why data-informed community engagement is crime prevention and policing reimagined
Police 1
America needs a data-informed approach to crime prevention that maximizes many existing local services and resources. Police, but not just the police, have an important role to play in deterring offenders, hardening targets and affecting crime rates. Other stakeholders must also share the burden of crime prevention. The data-informed community engagement (DICE) framework for public safety involves police, but it does not prioritize law enforcement or use it as a singular intervention strategy.

Strategic de-escalation for public safety professionals
International Public Safety Association
Operational experience and studies have indicated that first responders in critical occupations will spend most of their time communicating with people in a variety of situations. These encounters are often in a state of conflict or crisis which can make tensions high and the possibility of escalation a very real threat if the contact professional does not respond in a strategic manner. These, "difficult to deal with" citizens typically display a wide variety of behaviors which may include physical, emotional and mental health factors.

A new approach to opioid overdose cases
Police 1
While more recent public health problems have stolen the focus, there is still a major epidemic of opioid overdoses in the United States. The coronavirus pandemic has only aggravated the opioid abuse problem, spiking the number of overdoses as compared to previous years.
In the year that ended in May 2020, over 81,000 people in the United States died from an overdose of an opioid drug. That represents the largest number of overdose deaths in U.S. history, and the first time a public health issue has decreased the expected average life span of Americans.
