Problem-oriented policing (POP) is a current strategy in American policing, as well as in the international law enforcement community. For this Assessment, you will first learn about POP through a series of videos. You will review an eight-part interview with Herman Goldstein, the founder of POP. Then you will create a report in which you assess the POP strategy from a leadership perspective. POP allows leaders to analyze issues and identify effective response strategies for their teams.
