TYPES OF PLANS
7. Procedural plans, in line with many but certainty not all management plans, are ordinarily included as part of a police
department’s written directive system, a copy of which is assigned to every officer and is updated periodically.

SOPs include
a. Field Procedures are used in all situations as guide to officers and men in the field. Examples are those related to reporting,
dispatching, raids, arrest, search and seizure, stopping suspicious persons, patrol, and investigation of crimes. The use of

EFFECTIVE PLANS- regardless of how plans are classified, the bottom line is that organizations with a formal and continuous
planning process outperform those without one. The discrepancy in performance increases as the larger environment becomes
more turbulent and the pace and magnitude of change increases.
1. The plans must be sufficiently specific so that the behavior required is understood.
2. The benefits derived from the achievement of the goals associated with the plan must offset the efforts of developing and
implementing the plan, and the level of the achievement should not be so modest that it is easily reached.
