Module 3.3 Applying the SARA Model

Q Instructions: ? The Discussion Rubric explains how you will be graded. ? The discussions combined are worth 25% of your final grade. A group of juveniles decided to set the contents of a dumpster on fire every weekend. This incident was witnessed by a 40-year neighborhood resident named Mrs. Sanchez, a neighborhood grandmother, who sits at her kitchen window each night. Each time, Mrs. Sanchez calls 911, and firefighters would respond to put the fire out. The same youth would throw rocks at them and damage property nearby. The police would have to be called to the aid of responding firefighters. Recognizing that this is a problem, the police chief decided to initiate the SARA model in this situation. Following this incident, the Chief decided to hold a community meeting in the neighborhood and learned that the main reason that the youth were setting the dumpster on fire was that the garbage men were sporadically emptying the garbage leaving a strong odor in the neighborhood. Reflect and Respond. In your discussion post this week, address the following questions. • Describe some potential difficulties with the application of the SARA model to this particular problem. • Presuming the chief has a social media page, how would you consider using it with regard to this problem in such a way that would lead to an arrest of the person or persons responsible for the intentional dumpster fire, or a preventative collaboration with the sanitation department? ________________________________________ After reading the assigned materials, you will respond to the following Discussion Question using no fewer than 200 words, no later than Thursday of each week. Remember to use APA citations, and reference your sources, upon which you have based your answer. You will then respond to at least two of your classmates’ discussions with a substantial post, addressing your thoughts on their ideas and furthering the discussions. Each response post must be at least 100 words and use APA citations and references where needed.

SARA stands for Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment, used in problem-oriented policing. William Spelman and John Eck coined this term in 1987. In scanning, problems are identified and selected by using the scanning process. This process is experienced to prevent crime. In this situation, the police chief will firstly identify the problem like how the fire is set on dempster and how they come, apart from this, who are the victims and what kind o of damage they are doing to neighbors and people.
