Project-based action module

The Module d'actions par projet (Project-based action module) is an operational team that works on a project basis. Projects allow the team to develop strategies and implement intervention plans to achieve lasting results for identified problems.

The MAP brings together officers with different types of expertise to give them a greater collective capacity to act (investigations, intelligence, prevention, suppression, etc.). Combining these different types of expertise allows the MAP to:

  • Recognize and identify problems
  • Develop strategies to deal with problems
  • Establish links with other SPVM units for combined interventions
  • Ensure all players are working together cohesively and complementarily
  • Mobilize partners
  • Increase direct contact with the public

The MAP supports and is supported by the other PDQ members. As the MAP members carry out their problem solving activities, their daily uniformed presence in the territory and in target zones also helps reinforce police visibility.

The specific responsibilities of the module are as follows:

  • Information management (collection and sharing of intelligence, links with analysis teams, research of best practices, etc.)
  • Identification of target locations related to crime, antisocial behaviour or disorder
  • Implementation of problem solving strategies
  • Efficiency and effectiveness of patrol plans (foot patrol, presence in target locations and visibility)

In terms of benefits for SPVM partners, the MAP facilitates community relations and cooperation, increases and personalizes direct contact with partners and the public, and provides a more customized response to security needs in the territory.
