Strategi/plan
KEEPING AHEAD OF CRIME Prevention as a Primary Police Strategy (2021-2025)
Prevention is at the heart of the social mission of the police. Prevention includes everything done by the police, alone or in cooperation with others, to reduce crime and other unwanted incidents, reduce harmful effects and prevent recurrence. Crime prevention is a key part of the overall preventive efforts of the police. The police have a broad social mission that necessitates the use of the term prevention rather than crime prevention in this overall strategy. Emergency preparedness and contingency planning, traffic safety, building trust and safety among citizens are also key elements of the preventive work of the police. An ambition in the operational strategy «The Police towards 2025», is keeping ahead of crime. Guidelines are provided for the police to have a systematic, planned and knowledge-based approach to prevention and cooperation across professional fields and sectors.
