New Met police video

Good evening, 

I am currently conducting some research into decision making and risk management models, very much an academic process at present. 
 

Utilising the National decision making model, IMARCH and Decision Controls inline with JESIP principles and ethics. 
 

However, those models alone do not necessarily fully cover how Police officers make decisions, or wider formation of decisions and considerations. 
 

So the question is: What models do you use to make decisions, what processes do you find useful and what do you use to crib off? 
 

Any input is really helpful and welcome.

Most of the day to day decisions, certainly for me, are just done through experience. No process. 

However, of I have to demonstrate my risk assessment, ie for a missing person assessment, are they high risk or not I do use the NDM

I use it to demonstrate what information I have been aware of to make my assessment, what I consider and my conclusion. 

It's quite helpful

NDM for most things, too many cops just 'go through the motions' and miss things. Most also don't actually know the NDM to be able to use it properly.

When managing logs our force isssthe THRIVE model which is handy at times.

Also use ATLAS/OSARA for evidence based policing problem solving.

I like the ICII model borrowed from the world of firearms for deciding how dangerous an offender is, when making decisions around safeguarding, deciding victim risk levels etc. 

We don't talk about impact factors so much these days as we used to with the old conflict management model, but I find them helpful when justifying the use of force and choosing one tactical option over another as it gives a clear insight into my state of mind and threat assessment at the time.
