How does the SARA model begin its process?

Scanning for a problem
Assigning a response team
Collecting data and information
Implementing a solution

The correct answer is: Scanning for a problem

The correct answer is A - Scanning for a problem. This is the first step in the SARA model, which stands for Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment. This model is a problem-solving method used in community-oriented policing. Choosing B, Assigning a response team, is incorrect because this step comes after Scanning. Similarly, Collecting data and information (C) is the second step in the model and Implementing a solution (D) is the final step in the process. It is important to begin with Scanning in order to identify and fully understand the problem before moving on to the next steps.
