Case Studies of the Transformation of Police Departments: A Cross-Site Analysis (Document)
Mark H. Moore, David Thacher, Francis X. Hartmann, Catherine Coles

The COPS program was designed to increase the scale of policing in America, and to change the predominant strategy of American policing from an emphasis on reactive law enforcement to an emphasis on proactive community problem-solving. To evaluate the progress of the program, the Urban Institute surveyed police departments and focused intensive scrutiny on a small number of departments to develop case studies. This report examines the organizational change in case-study departments and analyzes the impetus, leadership and process of the change, and the role of COPS grants in generating change.
