Community policing

“Community policing requires changes to every part of policing, including its supervision and management, training, investigations, performance evaluation, accountability and even its values” (Stone and Travis, 2011, p. 5). The innovations of community oriented policing also helps officers identify themselves and their role in the social order.

Current community centered policing and crime prevention initiatives continue to operate under the guise of the decentralisation of police and state power. Crawford (1995) explains, “embodied in the appeals to community…are unresolved decentralising and re-centralising tendencies” (p. 119). Community based programs of governance through crime have failed to be realized in any meaningful way. Rather, community based crime initiatives are inherently and fundamentally flawed. In what is to follow,…

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.

Community policing needs organizational transformation which is similar to the needs of homeland security. For law enforcement to successfully implement homeland security practices they must transform the organization, not just have certain officers learn about how to ‘fight terror’.

Also those officers who have been part of the community for a long amount of time can identify anything suspicious or out of the ordinary and this intelligence gathering could be very helpful for counter-terrorism.

After 9-11 the Bush…

Researchers have done their own investigations on experiment to testify if their hypothesis of whether the community policing theory is proven to be successful or not. There are various technical strategies to gain results and to gather data to analyze the results. The steps of this process were to first identify the techniques that were being utilized, through the literature of research articles that were found such as peer-reviewed scholarly articles, and ebsco-host, including Google scholars.…

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…

In the early days in England there was no real structure of policing, it was up to the citizen to look after each other and protect one another from criminals. These citizens took this responsibility, which could be called in a sense community policing (Pearson 5).

The Sheriff was the agent of the king and his job was to maintain law and order in…

ahead of them, and proposing methods of trust building with Asian communities may not pan out because Asians already have a preexisting bias against law enforcement (Choe, 2012). Both sides must have trust in one another; agree to conduct peaceful dialogues and mediation in order to solve various issues. Culturally competent police officers When officers fail to comprehend a specific culture and their linguistics, critical information could easily be misinterpreted, or it could also fall into…
