Community-oriented Policing Introduction: The article that I have chosen to write my course project on will cover community-oriented policing and strategies that are intertwined with the program. Amongst law enforcement personnel, there will always be a debate regarding traditional policing and proactive policing through problem solving. Many believe that using the traditional approach, you’ll be provided with a quick response to incidents.

Response time, as well as establishing control of the scene is highly regarded as the primary way of maintaining confidence from the community. With the creation of directed patrols and the targeting of high crime areas, law enforcement officers can respond to crime scenes quickly and efficiently. However, it is highly important that departments
