Proactive policing is a law enforcement strategy focused on preventing crime before it occurs, rather than merely responding to criminal activity after the fact. It often involves anticipating potential criminal activity, identifying risks, and addressing underlying causes through methods such as community engagement, targeted patrols, predictive analytics, and problem-solving initiatives. This approach contrasts with reactive policing, which centers on responding to crimes once they have been committed.
Proactive policing, such as setting up DUI checkpoints during holiday weekends, aims to deter impaired driving before accidents occur.
