What stage comes first in the S.A.R.A. model?

Analysis
Response
Scanning
Assessment

The correct answer is: Scanning

The first stage in the S.A.R.A. model is Scanning. This initial phase involves identifying and prioritizing problems within a community or a specific area. Law enforcement and community stakeholders work together to recognize patterns of crime or issues that affect public safety. Scanning is critical because it sets the foundation for the remaining stages in the S.A.R.A. model—Analysis, Response, and Assessment. By thoroughly understanding the problems in the initial scanning stage, agencies can tailor their strategies effectively in the subsequent stages, ensuring a more responsive and informed approach to crime prevention and community safety. This process emphasizes the importance of proactive policing and community engagement in addressing issues before they escalate.
