Incident-driven policing, also known as "reactive policing," focuses on responding to specific incidents or crimes as they occur rather than proactively preventing crime. This approach relies on calls for service and reported incidents to allocate police resources and determine enforcement actions. While it can effectively address immediate issues, critics argue that it may overlook underlying community problems and lead to a cycle of reactive rather than preventive measures in law enforcement.

Reactive policing is where police officers would sit in their station and wait for the call from a member of the public summoning them to the scene of a crime. They would proceed to investigate and try to 'solve' the incident. It is considered a better practice to do proactive policing. This is actually being out on the beat, looking for issues, getting to know the community, and preventing the incident from occurring in the first place.
Due to the increasing crime figures, the US Justice Department conducted a series of studies to analyse what crime prevention worked, to put to test some of the held theories by academics. There has be an number of test done in the US one of the first was the Minneapolis Hot Spot Experiment concluded in 1985 by Sherman, L & Weisburd, D. With empirical data to support the theories many police department undertaken there own studies or used data from other studies and implemented some of the modern police strategies we see used today.
