Come see one of them being presented at National EBP conference 10 and 11 September, University of Huddersfield.

Police policy has moved to a “better” tool already (DARA). Mainly just partner agencies using DASH.

Which is not confusing or inefficient at all. No, sir.

The denominator in this statistic (resident pion) is highly flawed. No viable alternative but flawed is flawed. Could at least publish percentage of stops not on residents?
