The most important one is to engage all citizens in helping the police to identify any suspicions of possible threat in preparation to take action. The key is to allow citizens know that they are valuable to the community and that they can trust the police with predicaments like these instead of keeping them unnotified and unprepare on how to handle situations like this when it does happen.

In a study done by Mehmet Alper Sozer and Alida V. Merlo drew data collections from data-sets provided by law enforcement and the administrative statistics 2003 utilizing two waves of uniform crime reports data to determine whether community policing and crime differ based on the agency size. In conclusion statistics showed that there are three dimensions for the construct of community policing and that small agencies have a significant relationship to rates as opposed to large agencies that have a significant association with property crime and violent crime rates (Sozer & Merlo, 2013). In addition, Sozer and Merlo discovered that the implementation of problem-solving partnership occurred more in small agencies. This indicates that smaller law enforcement agencies takes notice in more specific crime within their communities as they are more determined to prevent crime within their reign as to large agencies try to focus more on everything else outside of the
