The Offender Management Apprehension Program (OMAP) is a policing strategy focused on reducing crime by monitoring and managing high-risk and repeat offenders. It combines intelligence-led policing with proactive enforcement to ensure individuals released on bail or under court conditions comply with those requirements.
Key elements include:
- Tracking and Compliance: Maintaining records of offenders on release and conducting compliance checks.
- Information Sharing: Using tools like bail dashboards to share data between police, courts, probation, and community partners.
- Apprehension: Actively pursuing wanted individuals and executing arrest warrants when conditions are breached.
- Collaboration: Working with justice partners and social support agencies to reduce re-offending and enhance community safety.
OMAP aims to deter criminal activity, improve public safety, and support accountability through coordinated enforcement and monitoring
