Turner explained that the reason why there is distrust in the community is due to the fact that the media has created this negative image of police officers. The media creates this negative stereotype that police officers and the community is at war with each other and…

Assignment: Leadership in Action Engaging the community in positive, friendly ways is essential to building trust and legitimacy. FBI Director James Comey while speaking at Georgetown University expressed the need for law enforcement to better know the communities they serve. Comey quoted New York Commissioner Bill Bratton’s statement that, “We must work to really see each other.” Comey advocated community outreach programs like PAL’s and heavily suggests Officers get out of their patrol…

There are three major components in community policing. The first component is community partnership. In the community partnership component, the main goal is to establish and maintain trust between the citizens and the police (Bohm & Haley, 2011). When the citizens trust the police, they are more likely to pass information and report crimes that they witness in the community. The second component of community policing is problem-solving.

Nashville, I would ensure the G.R.E.A.T. program remained in use. This program has gone through extensive evaluations and produced favorable results for preventing juveniles from becoming affiliated with gang membership. Evidence shows that both law enforcement and prosecutors share related views to the issues associated with gangs and how gangs are expanding in size (Johnson, Webster, Connors, & Saenz, n.d.).

Introduction Through the exercise done in class I found that I am a person who is more likely to collaborate with an individual during a conflict. I believe this to be pertinent to the way that I see myself when conflicted. My back up is accommodation, which is something that I see myself doing more often now that I have chosen a path of policing.

Community oriented policing is used by police stations to both improve relations with neighboring communities and improve crime prevention. An example of this would be a neighborhood watch, which officers and community members would walk the town to prevent crime and disorder. Between weaponry and rank structure our police do seem to look a lot like a military. The rank structure of the military allows for easy disimination of information and helps leadership incharge of large numbers, manage…

Community policing requires partnership, collaboration and joint problem-solving. With the help of the police, and other policing agencies, i.e. U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services these programs can be solved. The communities these organizations serve are a major part in the success of the program. The child support program was…

Operationalization The variable that it is important to make community policing effective is the level of interest in crime. People in the community do not report crimes on a basis it happens. Citizens need to report crimes that occur, so that the police can make sure the neighborhood is safe. This variable will make community policing hard due to the police do not know what crime is happening.
