The next phase of evidence-based policing will not be defined by the publication of another landmark study. It will be defined by whether agencies invest in the internal capacity required to engage seriously with the evidence that already exists.
In policing, information is often the difference between reacting and responding with purpose. Field interviews and CAD notes — the details captured during everyday calls and citizen interactions — form the connective tissue of modern investigations. They are the observations that didn’t make the arrest or incident report (if there even was one), the names that didn’t quite rise to probable cause, and the context that explains why something felt off.
School Resource Officers play one of the most complex and important roles in public safety. On any given day, they may be called on to resolve conflicts, mentor students, respond to emergencies and act as a trusted bridge between law enforcement and the school community. But doing this effectively requires more than training and presence; it requires context that most SROs simply don’t have access to.
