Annotation

Following a brief summary of the Patrol Emphasis Program (PEP) and the Integrated Criminal Apprehension Program (ICAP), this videotape discusses how ICAP is working in Norfolk, Va.

Abstract

ICAP has two basic elements: crime analysis and structural planning. The goal of the program is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the police field service units, to modernize patrol operations, and to increase productivity throughout the department. Patrol management concepts are discussed in detail. These concepts clearly delineate the accountability and responsibility of patrol managers. Differences between the new system and the former platoon system become readily apparent as the lecture continues. By focusing on the serious habitual offender and by increasing police training (so that police will actually help prosecutors win more convictions), the ICAP in Norfolk, Va., attempts to decrease the crime problem.
