'''Problem-oriented policing''' (POP), coined by [[University of Wisconsin]] professor [[Herman Goldstein]], is a [[policing]] strategy that involves identifying specific [[crime]] and disorder problems, such as occur in crime hot spots. With problem-oriented policing, the problem is analyzed and a strategy devised to tackle the problem. Over the past several years, problem-oriented policing (POP) has in many places virtually replaced the "incident-driven" method of state and local law enforcement. At the heart of the POP strategy is its commitment to empowering each individual officer with the authority to identify and proactively work on problems within his or her [[Patrol|beat]]. The policy is designed to be implemented from the bottom up with rank-and-file officers effectively setting agency goals and developing strategies to achieve them, as opposed to the top-down approach of most traditional bureaucratic policies.
