Proactive Alliance - Problem-Oriented Policing Training
In collaboration with the Arizona State University Center for Problem-Oriented Policing, Safe Night is proud to introduce Proactive Alliance - Problem-Oriented Policing (PA-POP). This new and innovative model and curriculum combine the skills of Proactive Alliance relationship-based policing with problem-oriented policing.
This course of training is available to anyone interested in developing productive and purposeful relationships to further problem-oriented responses. This curriculum is the first of its kind, building on the course developed over twenty years ago for the U.S. DOJ COPS Office.
Moving from "Community Relations" to "Co-Production"
Pairing Proactive Alliance (PA) with Problem-Oriented Policing (POP) addresses a significant challenge in modern policing, the gap between knowing what to do and knowing how to do it. Proactive Alliance gives officers a menu of responses and teaches them a relationship-based framework to collaborate with business owners, landlords, or community leaders to fix the underlying issues voluntarily.

About the ASU Center for Problem-Oriented Policing
The mission of the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing is to advance the concept and practice of problem-oriented policing in open and democratic societies. It does so by making readily accessible information about ways in which police can more effectively address specific crime and disorder problems.
The Center for Problem-Oriented Policing was founded as a private non-profit organization in 2002. In 2015 it became a center at Arizona State University's Watts College of Public Service & Community Solutions, with affiliations with other police practitioners, researchers, and universities dedicated to the advancement of problem-oriented policing.
The work of the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing was principally funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services from 1999 to 2012. Its founders were Michael S. Scott, Ronald V. Clarke, and Graeme R. Newman. Others instrumental in developing the POP Center were Herman Goldstein, John E. Eck, Deborah Lamm Weisel, Rana Sampson, and Karin Schmerler.
