Policing Insight 20/5/2026 Feature, Opinion Toward evidence-based federal law enforcement: developing best practices in a federal system Evidence-based policing has emerged as a prominent reform movement in contemporary law enforcement, emphasizing the systematic use of research and evaluation to guide policy and practice. However, the development of evidence-based approaches has focused primarily on local policing, with comparatively little attention devoted to federal law enforcement agencies. This article examines the relative absence of federal law enforcement within the evidence-based policing literature and argues that federal agencies would benefit from a more systematic embrace of evidence-based practices. After reviewing the development of evidence-based policing and the institutional context of federal enforcement, the article proposes a Collaborative Federal Evidence Model (CFEM) that emphasizes partnerships among federal agencies, state and local law enforcement, and academic researchers. The article also identifies several domains of federal law enforcement activity in which systematic evaluation could help generate evidence-based best practices. By integrating intelligence-led approaches with rigorous evaluation, federal agencies can improve operational effectiveness, strengthen intergovernmental relationships, and enhance institutional legitimacy within a complex federal system.
