Policy makers, academics, the public, and, most importantly, the police themselves, wanted to know: what are we doing? why are we doing it? can we do it better? what works? how do we experiment and measure?ResearcherIt was the foundation that first brought researchers into a lasting, constructive partnership with law enforcement.Police DepartmentsIt was the foundation, in cooperation with police departments all across the country, that engendered a questioning of the traditional model of professional law enforcement and the testing of new approaches to policing.CitiesSince it is the spirit of experimentation rather than a specific set of tactics that the foundation seeks to encourage, there can never be an end to the process. What works in one city may not work in another. Policing constantly faces new challenges, so there is an endless process of discovery and testing, trying new ideas in changing circumstances, and testing them by the most rigorous and objective standards in real-world experiments.Social experiments are the hardest kind because they deal with people. When the Police Foundation began its work, social experimentation was not a well-established discipline, but rather a developing art. The foundation has established and refined the capacity to define, design, conduct, and evaluate controlled experiments testing ways to improve the delivery of police services. The development of this method, its execution in the real world, and the dissemination of what it has learned constitute a unique contribution to policing and is a central reason for the foundation’s existence._aa6d1502-d5cd-11ea-8683-8b2ffb82ea00_5b5d7576-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea00PLACEHOLDER_1[To be determined]Professional ServicesOffer a range of professional services._aa6d1764-d5cd-11ea-8683-8b2ffb82ea002Community Policing ConsortiumAs a partner in the Community Policing Consortium, along with four other leading national law enforcement organizations, the foundation played a principal role in the development of community policing research, training, and technical assistance. Since 1993, the foundation has provided community policing education, training, and technical assistance to more than 1,000 law enforcement agencies and communities.Over the Police Foundation’s history, its leadership has insisted that the organization’s work have a practical impact on policing, that the knowledge gained through empirical investigation be such that it could be applied outside the “laboratory,” with the end result being improvement in the way that police do their work. In addition to defining, designing, conducting, and evaluating controlled experiments, the foundation offers a range of professional services, including training, technical assistance, and technology. Training programs are custom designed to meet the needs of the individual law enforcement agency.Training_aa6d1bba-d5cd-11ea-8683-8b2ffb82ea002.1_5b5d7ab2-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea00PLACEHOLDER_2[To be determined]Technical Assistance_aa6d1ec6-d5cd-11ea-8683-8b2ffb82ea002.2_5b5d7f94-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea00PLACEHOLDER_3[To be determined]Technology_aa6d2128-d5cd-11ea-8683-8b2ffb82ea002.3_5b5d832c-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea00PLACEHOLDER_4[To be determined]CommunicationCreate, publish, and disseminate a new body of knowledge about policing._aa6d2574-d5cd-11ea-8683-8b2ffb82ea003Criminal Justice CommunityLaw Enforcement PractitionersPolicy MakersScholarsUnconstrained by partisan imperatives, the Police Foundation speaks with a unique and objective voice. Its focus and perspective is the whole of American policing, rather than any single facet. A guiding tenet of the foundation is that to advance, policing–like other public services–deserves the best of thorough, objective study, and the impetus of new ideas that have the widest possible dissemination. Since its inception in 1970, the foundation has stressed the importance of helping to create a new body of knowledge about policing. The quality and quantity of its research reports have helped make the Police Foundation a catalyst for change in American policing. By disseminating as widely as possible the publications that result from its work, the foundation seeks to ensure that the knowledge it has gained reaches the broader criminal justice community, including law enforcement practitioners, policy makers, and scholars. The president of the foundation speaks out on issues important to policing and serves as a source of advice and information to police officers and executives, public officials responsible for the quality of policing, and to members of the news media who cover criminal justice.DonorsAttract more donors_aa6d2970-d5cd-11ea-8683-8b2ffb82ea003.13.1.1DonorsNumber_5b5d870a-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea00PLACEHOLDER_5Number of new donors - Target unspecifiedTrend2019 = 92Increasing922019-01-012019-12-312018 = 73Increasing732018-01-012018-12-312017 = 30Increasing302017-01-012017-12-312016 = 17Baseline172016-01-012016-12-31TYPE OF METRIC - Input - describing resources we use | DIRECTION OF SUCCESS - IncreasingMaterials & ExplanationsSupply materials and explanations_7c353eb8-1c62-11eb-9f78-ebea1483ea003.2[To be named]3.2.1DownloadsNumber_5b5d870a-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea00PLACEHOLDER_6Number of downloads of the organization's materials and explanations - Target unspecifiedTrend2019 = 49,723Increasing497232019-01-012019-12-312018 = 43,403Decreasing434032018-01-012018-12-312017 = 46,381Increasing463812017-01-012017-12-312016 = 36,452Baseline364522016-01-012016-12-31RELATED PROGRAM - Spreading Ideas and Enabling Change - Communications | TYPE OF METRIC - Output - describing our activities and reach | DIRECTION OF SUCCESS - IncreasingMailing ListAttract subscribers to our email list_7c3543cc-1c62-11eb-9f78-ebea1483ea003.3[To be named]3.3.1SubscribersNumber_5b5d870a-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea00PLACEHOLDER_7Number of people on the organization's email list - Target unspecifiedTrend2019 = 7,543Increasing75432019-01-012019-12-312018 = 5,700Increasing57002018-01-012018-12-312017 = 2,711Baseline27112017-01-012017-12-31RELATED PROGRAM - Spreading Ideas and Enabling Change - Communications | TYPE OF METRIC - Output - describing our activities and reach | DIRECTION OF SUCCESS - IncreasingReportsPublish reports_7c3547e6-1c62-11eb-9f78-ebea1483ea003.4[To be named]3.4.1ReportsNumber_5b5d870a-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea00PLACEHOLDER_8Number of reports written/published - Target unspecifiedTrend2019 = 17Increasing172019-01-012019-12-312018 = 14Decreasing142018-01-012018-12-312017 = 19Increasing192017-01-012017-12-312016 = 6Baseline62016-01-012016-12-31RELATED PROGRAM - Harnessing Science to Advance Policing | TYPE OF METRIC - Output - describing our activities and reach | DIRECTION OF SUCCESS - Increasing_5b5d8b38-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea002020-08-04https://www.policefoundation.org/about-the-police-foundation/_5b5d8f70-d5d0-11ea-8e41-54f1fb82ea00OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
