Community Policing Defined
Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies,
which support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques,
to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety
issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime.
Community Policing is comprised of three key components:
- Community Partnerships
Collaborative partnerships between the law enforcement agency and the
individuals and organizations they serve to develop solutions to problems and
increase trust in police.
- Organizational Transformation
The alignment of organizational management, structure, personnel, and
information systems to support community partnerships and proactive problem
solving.
- Problem Solving
The process of engaging in the proactive and systematic examination of
identified problems to develop and rigorously evaluate effective responses.
