This policy document aims to set out the principles and key issues of undertaking successful CBP. The first section explains what CBP is and outlines some characteristics of this style of policing. The second section explores the importance of a strategic management process in undertaking CBP. Based on the above, a ‘model’ of CBP is suggested in the third section. The fourth section is in a table format and is intended as a guide to some of the key issues that need to be addressed when undertaking CBP. The table outlines a total of twelve issues, and for each of them it suggests why they are important, what challenges can be expected when trying to implement them and which strategies and experiences can be drawn on to overcome these challenges. The suggested strategies in the table are based on real, practical experience of implementing CBP in many different regions, including Africa, the Caribbean, South Asia, South Eastern Europe and Western Europe. The fi nal section presents a selection of CBP examples.
