Properly researched and worded Policy and Procedure are of paramount importance in today's Policing, because, so often, officers will encounter a situation which calls for quick and decisive action on their part. When a Department has had the foresight to equip their officers with carefully researched and precisely worded guidelines which delineate in no uncertain terms how the officer is to respond to a given situation, and the officers have had sufficient training in the policy and procedure, the Law Enforcement Agency benefits from being certain that their personnel will react in the manner best suited to accomplishing the mission in the most professional manner.

Another benefit of properly researched and worded policy and procedure benefits the Department, the Department Management and the individual officers. When a Police Department or Officer is sued for damages in civil court due to an action taken or not taken by a member of the Department, it benefits all of those involved if the Department has a policy and procedure in place pertaining to the incident in the claim. For example, if a Department does not have a policy in place pertaining to the "Use of Force", and an Individual files a suit in civil court against the individual officer or the Department, the Department will have a much better defense if it can show that it has a policy and procedure in place, that the policy and procedure is based upon other existing policy and procedure, that it was well researched and based upon local and state law, and that the officer followed that policy and procedure. The Department will also be on solid ground if an "expert" can come in and testify for the Department or Officer as to why the policy was written, and show the policies of other law enforcement agencies and research houses which correspond with the policy in question.
