The differences between community policing and traditional policing are important to understand. Community policing puts society and quality of living as a priority, which can target the real issues of society (Carter & Sapp, 1994), whereas traditional law enforcement focuses on arrest and investigation. Random patrolling and other activities that law enforcement do is still a part of strategies, but it is not a primary objective for community policing. Creating a safe community, satisfaction with the police, and decreasing fear of crime are objectives (Wycoff & Manning, 1983).

The least important factors were: reception desk duties, typic duty officer activities, acting as a chief of service, supporting riot squads, and updating social media (Steden, Miltenburg, & Boutellier, 2015). Legitimacy can be improved when law enforcement is able to do what the community believes is important. There is likely to be a difference in what the community thinks is important; surveys would be a way that law enforcement can discover how best to serve their citizens.
Community Policing Abroad Among democratic countries community policing has been a popular form of policing.

Community policing and democracy have similarities such as citizen authorization; citizen-review boards; complaint processes; and public service.
It takes around ten to fifteen years to fully implement community policing (Trojanowicz & Bucqueroux, 1992). In 2014 South Korea achieved fifteen years of community policing which makes it a good nation to study (Kang et al, …show more content…
These traditional police-performance markers are likely not the best way to evaluate a community policing performance (Trojanowicz & Bucqueroux, 1992). Being proactive is important for community policing: law enforcement that uses community policing attempt to act on social problems before a crime has been committed. Traditional policing is known to be more reactive, whereby law enforcement respond when a crime has happened. When law enforcement does not address larger community problems, they will continue to have issues achieving their goals. The New York police discovered a connection between crime and disorder, understanding that drunks, gamblers, and sex workers can create environments that are likely to involve violence. This type of environment can increase crime and violence and decrease safety and standards of living (Silverman & Giustina,
