Abstract

The emphasis on problem-solving as an effective strategy of community policing stems from innovative work on problem-oriented policing (POP) by the University of Wisconsin Law School, with SARA (Scanning, Analysis, Response and Assessment) as its most widespread model. The grouping of commonplace units of police business (incidents, complaints, crimes ...) into larger units of analysis known as 'problems' allows for the implementation of a case study methodology that proves itself not only useful as an instructional format for trainee officers, but also provides an effective pedagogical tool for the English for Specific Purposes curriculum at the Spanish National Police Academy.
