plans are being developed. Opinions or ideas of person who may speak with authority on the subject and the
views of the police commander, other government officials and other professionals shall be considered.

2. Clarifying the Problem- this call for identification of the problem, understanding both its record and its
possible solution. A situation must exist for which something must and can be done.

3. Collecting all Pertinent Facts- no attempt shall be made to develop a plan until all facts relating to it have
been carefully reviewed to determine the modus operandi, suspects, types of victims and such matter as
availability, deployment and use of present personnel shall be gathered.

4. Analyzing the Problem- after the date have been gathered a careful analysis and evaluation shall be made.
This provides the basis from which a plan or plans are develop. Only such facts as may have relevance shall be
considered.

5. Developing Alternative Plans- in the initial phases of plan development, several alternative measures shall
appear too logically comparable to the needs of a situation. As the alternative solutions are evaluated, one of
the proposed plans shall usually prove more logical than the others.
6. Selecting the most Appropriate Alternative- a careful consideration of all facts usually leads to
the selection of the alternative proposals.

7. Selling the plan- a plan, to be effectively carried out, must be accepted by persons concerned at
the appropriate level of the plan9s development. For example, in robbery case, the patrol division
head may be preparing the plan.
8. Arranging for the execution pf the Plan- the execution of a plan requires the issuance of orders
and directives to units and personnel concerned, the establishment of a schedule and the provision of
manpower and requirement for carrying out of the plan. Briefing shall be held and assurance shall be
received that all involved personnel understand when, how, and what iso be done.

9. Evaluating the effectiveness of the Plan- the results of the plan shall be evaluated. This is
necessary in order to know whether or not the plan was correct, whether or not the correct alternative
was chosen, which phase was poorly implemented, and whether additional planning may be
necessary. In addition, the effects of the executed plan on other operations and on total police
operations shall be determined. Follow-up is the control factor for effective command management.
