Evidence-based policing is disadvantageous because it tends to consume more time on the part of the law enforcers. Research information used for evidence-based policing involves research conducted by law enforcers on the job. On the part of law enforcement agencies, evidence-based policing is disadvantages because it involves higher costs for collecting evidence and conducting research. Thus, evidence-based policing have the following disadvantages:

  1. Time-consuming activity for law enforcers
  2. High costs for the law enforcement agency

Examples of Evidence-Based Policing

One example of evidence-based policing is the use of evidence and research-based information on the lifestyles of drug traffickers. Such information is used to support decisions of law enforcement agencies in developing strategies and tactics to arrest suspects in drug trafficking.

Another example of evidence-based policing is the use of evidence and research-based information on the statistical probability of motor vehicle theft based on the kind of automobile and location of parking. Such information helps law enforcement agencies to efficiently assign law enforcers to certain areas to prevent motor vehicle theft.

In both of these examples, evidence-based policing leads to improved accuracy of decisions and actions of law enforcers and law enforcement agencies
