Development of Green Policing Index (GPI) in the Context of Solid Waste Management: A Systematic Review
Author:
Grecel A. Sagpang
Abstract:
The research explores how green policing at a conceptual level helps control solid waste while promoting
environment-friendly practices. Research into fifty-four studies reveals four main aspects of green policing
which are law enforcement actions, community involvement, technological advancement, and policy joining.
Effective waste management needs all interested parties including law enforcement, neighborhoods, and
private companies to work together in a full-circle approach. Enforcing environmental laws helps keep waste
management rules in place and blocks illegal disposal while working to protect our environment. People must
join together and spread recycling knowledge to create partnerships with local groups while reducing wasteful
practices. The research shows that adding GPS tracking and drone technology to waste monitoring enhances
the ability to track activities and maintain legal requirements. Strong policy frameworks and governance
systems found in Sweden and Germany prove necessary to carry environmental sustainability to national levels.
Through the Green Policing Index (GPI), the study recommends a tool to evaluate how green policing programs
perform. The tool helps us evaluate our current actions while planning our next steps. Policymakers and
authorities now have a workable system to make solid waste management plans that benefit both the
environment and everyone.
