danger points, analyzing and evaluating the alternative ways and means for
funds and resources to do the work, and initiating action in time to prepare what
may be needed to cope with the changing conditions and contingent events.
Planning is also the process of preparing for change and coping with uncertainty
formulating future causes of action; the process of determining the problem of the
organization and coming up with proposed resolutions and finding best solutions.
• The process of combining all aspects of the department and the realistic
anticipation of future problems, the analysis of strategy and the correlation of strategy to
detail.
and orderly determination of facts and events as basis for policy formulation and
organization.
Police Operational Planning is the act of determining policies and guidelines for
police activities and operations and providing controls and safeguards for such
resources to the line units of the police organization for the attainment of the
specific period of time. Goals are general statement of intention and typically with time
horizon, or it is an achievable end state that can be measured and observed. Making
choices about goals is one of the most important aspects of planning. Relate this
stated goal or objectives. Tactics are specific design, method or course of action to
government, or the set of principles on which they are based. Guidelines are rules of
action for the rank and file to show them how they are expected to obtain the desired
effect.

In the process, the police administrator can use the potent tool of alternatives.
Alternatives (options) are means by which goals and objectives can be attained. They
Alternatives do not have to be substitutes for one another or should perform the same
function. For example, our goal is to “improve officer-survival skills.” The plan is to train
the officers on militaristic and combat shooting. The alternatives could be:

keeping in mind the desirable outcomes. It is important for the police executive to
project the current situations into the future to determine possible, probable and
desirable future states while considering the social, legislative, and political
4. Identify and analyze problems - The discovery of the problems assumes that a
system to monitor and evaluate the current arena is already on place. Closely
related to the detection and identification of issues is the ability of the police to
define the nature of the problem, that is to able to describe the magnitude, cause,
duration, and the expense of the issues at hand. A complete understanding of the
problem leads to the development of the means to deal with the issues.

planning. It makes no sense to establish a goal that does not address a specific

Scientific Management
Proposed by Frederick Taylor (1856- 1915) Under this theory, workers are
motivated by economic rewards and that if they are paid commensurate to work being
done they produce maximum amount of work. This management theory entails that
good salary and incentives must be given to workers to ensure their hard work,
