It amazes me how good theoretical concepts in law enforcement and the programs derived from them consistently get diluted as they are put in place at the operational level. They usually look nothing like what was on the drawing board.

Why is this? One continually hears police executives talk about strategy and then spend their days and most of their time focusing on tactical activity and decisions. Usually the strategy goes out the window.
Police executives agree that strategic work like data mining and using advanced tools to predict crime are great things. But very few agencies are actually doing this operationally. I know improvement is possible. Law enforcement agencies can create more actionable intelligence from the stores of information they currently hold by applying advanced analytical techniques to that information.
