The main components of community policing are community partnership, problem solving, and change management (Bohm & Haley, 2011). Utilizing each of these in every department helps instill trust between police and the community. The four steps to the community policing approach to problem solving are Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment. Community Partnership requires police and the public to have trust and cooperation (Bohm & Haley, 2011). The police are an integral part of the community and the police will emphasize on areas the community feels there is a need (Bohm & Haley, 2011). Problem Solving happens in community policing when the community and police “identify core problems, propose solutions, and implement a solution”
