THE 759TH MILITARY POLICE BATTALION APPLIES COUNTERINSURGENCY LESSONS: TO THE GARRISON ENVIRONMENT

摘要

From its origins in combating the insurgencies of Iraq and Afghanistan, the PIR model provides a link between security forces and their communities. Incorporating aspects of intelligence-led policing into domestic police organizations, the PIR model allows military commanders to target community concerns and to improve conditions that drive public unrest. Applying these principles at Fort Carson, the 759th Military Police Battalion, in coordination with the Department of Emergency Services, recognized PIR as part of a familiar and manageable process that could be used to support the military community through proactive police engagement. By adopting and continuously refining processes that bridged the gap between Fort Carson police and the community, solutions to improve law enforcement efficiency and customer service were developed. These solutions were the result of the adoption of the PIR model-a systematic approach for military police to engage the community, identify concerns, discuss possible solutions, and implement change.
