What Is Community Policing

The challenge that occurs between minority communities and the police is nothing new to society. Our history has shown events and behaviors that led minority communities to believe that law enforcement will not treat them fairly. Although the road to building community-policing relations is about the communities trusting the police, it is also about law enforcement trusting the communities. Respect and confidence should be mutual, and the problem minorities face today cannot be solved without addressing both sides (Jackson, 2015). A second limitation of community policing is the involvement of the community. According to McKenna, and Culshaw (2009), law enforcement needs to establish trust and partnership with the community. Studies have shown that communities, where law enforcement is involved, proved to be effective in policing. Without the participation of the community, policing will fail. Although some communities may not have the same trust and relationship with law enforcement, however, community policing has come to a long way and communities where there is involvement of the community, trust, and respect has shown to fosters an improved relationship between communities and the

At the same time, in many respects the relationship between police and communities, especially the communites with high crime rates and police brutality. New law enforcement orientation had a profound impact on police–community relations. As crime control professionals , police began to simply view citizens as a means to information that would allow them to process criminal cases and return to service as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, crimes are constantly happening within the communities, there are alot of resources to assist offenders in doing

The community policing plan created by the City of Aberdeen in Maryland provides a good example of how the partnership between the police and members of the community can be effective for dealing with crimes. In order to promote the police and community's adoption of these new roles, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Community Policing Institute (MARCPI), along with the Johns Hopkins University, will offer training to the police and the community. Both the police and the community have to learn how to change their thinking processes in order to deal with the problems in a proactive way, instead of the conventional reactive fashion. Through the training sessions, the members of the community, the police officers and city department heads will acquire the skills and knowledge for addressing problems. The involvement of the city department heads and other

Throughout the American history, law enforcement agencies are required to protect and serve their community. Researchers stated that Sir Robert Peel encouraged police officers to engaged within the community by communicating, providing guidance, and helping them through difficult times (Martin, 2011). The biggest challenge in the criminal justice is the dignity within the police force. Law enforcement officers are the symbol of hope and trust in the community. Law enforcement officers have to gain the trust in the community because residents can help them to solve difficult cases. Police officers are held to a high standard, especially when they use their decision-making tools when encountering a crime scene. Police officers are not aware that

Although policing has been around for many decades, law enforcement roles have not changed too significantly. Media, such as television shows and movies, portray law enforcement officers as fearless crime fighters who are in daily high speed chases and shoot outs. While these crimes may be possible, it is not likely on a daily basis. So, just what do police officers respond too then? They deal with many various types of service calls each month and year including little disruptions and civil arguments or disputes. Police officers today need to be in different places for all different types of complaints and issues. Because many agencies do not have the capability or manpower for the growing need, community policing is a fast growing necessity for these agencies. This paper will discuss where community policing originated from, how it effects law enforcement today, and some of the ways we can expand the concept of community policing to benefit everyone for the future.

According to Rukus, Warner, and Zhang, Community policing strategies were designed to give residents greater empowerment by allowing them to participate in deliberations on policing and work more closely with officers on the street (Community Oriented Policing Services, 2014). In order for officers’ ethics to be shown, they must communicate and bond with the citizens in the communities that they serve. Today, many people just believe that police officers are bad because officers have been portrayed as individuals who just arrest and shoot people. Police officers should communicate with people every day, not just when they are arresting someone or serving warrants. Overall, the article by Rukus was very informative. It highlighted the pros of law enforcement agencies, building community relationships and the citizen’s roles in establishing those relationships.

This community and police partnership is based on trust and mutual respect for each other. This much needed system in order to be effective and successful needs to be implemented on a much broader scale,

The fundamental idea following community policing is that the community should be willingly involved with law enforcement leaders to help resolve problems. While that may seem exceptionally simple, law enforcement leaders should acknowledge that the community should be involved in the

The reality of policing is that not enough devoted time and resources to building relationships with the people with whom law enforcement interact the most: disenfranchised, marginalized communities where jobs, hope, and stability are in short supply and violence, guns, drugs, and despair are all too common. And plainly stated, none of this will happen unless police leaders and supervisors constantly embody the traits they expect of their subordinates, and unless effective engagement is a required, critical, and measured area of job performance.

In closing, Community policing is a innovative process that retains clarity and allows officers and community members to be find proactive solutions. Problem solving by the use of various models such as the S.A.R.A model and other models provides a outline that can be applied when CPOs work their designated beats. As a new trust is developed between police officials and residents this framework can be applied to the increasing difficulties that may help create a stronger partnership. Though problem solving is contingent on the stability of a community the public police agencies must continually look for effective methods to implement and adapt to a ever changing society.

Community policing is the idea of a partnership between officers and communities to become familiar with the communities ' inhabitants. Community policing is also a project set to connect the police community to overall society and avoid the mistreat of citizens and or prevent corrupt officers. Brooks states that policing is "predicated essentially [on] operating in the community and not being of the community"(Kaplan, 2015, para. 6). The idea that police officers do not need to part-take in society is a statement that should not be acceptable in the roles of law enforcement. When police officers do not connect to the society members, there are greater risks of there being mistreat from police officers to members of the community whom may feel like rebelling. If there are more dedicated officers, there is a passion these officers develop that can ensure abilities to serve and protect the community; specifically, due to the idea that the officers allow themselves to become parts of those communities. By improving connections with communities and police, law enforcement jobs will be easier and more enjoyable, in regards to being passionate about the job. This paper will discuss the purpose of community policing and how incorrect community policing can result to police corruption.

Many countries have experienced authoritarian governments where the law enforcement officers used their position to intimidate the citizens and rule country. Law enforcement officers main goal is to protect and serve the country in which they live in. Does community policing transform a community? Community policing is one method law enforcement uses to encourages communicating among police officers and the public. The partnership between police officers and the citizens help law enforcement agencies quickly find resolutions to problems the community faces through public trust. “Community policing promotes mutual trust and cooperation between people and the police, at the same time it helps empower neighborhoods in danger of being overwhelmed by crime, drugs, and the poisonous mix of apathy despair and unrest” (Alderson John Cottingham,1979). Through the process the public plays a very important role in public safety problems. This paper focus on the need of policing within our community.

Law enforcement officers all around the world main goal is to serve and protect the country in which they live in. Community policing is one of many methods the United States uses to control crime rate, and encourage police officers and the public to easily communicate. “Community policing promotes mutual trust and cooperation between people and the police, at the same time it helps empower neighborhoods in danger of being overwhelmed by crime, drugs, and the poisonous mix of apathy despair and unrest” (Alderson John Cottingham, 1979). Moreover, build trust among Police officers and the public. Also, with the cooperation among police officers and the community it helps law enforcement agencies to quickly and without no doubt find solutions to problems citizens' faces in their communities. This paper focuses on the similarities and differences of four police agencies with the community policing department.

With community policing it will change the relationship between the police and the public by cleaning up the neighborhoods and neighborhood problems. Many perspectives on community policing exist, and each is built on the assumptions only partial supported by empirical evidence. (article 8) Police become more committed and with that help the community by helping prevent social disorder and prevent crimes. Police are there to preserve the safety of the community. In order for this to work cooperation from community and the police is necessary for any program to work.

Police, as well as all other field in law enforcement are held to a higher standard of work quality, especially when pertaining to their professionalism and preforming to the limit of their responsibilities and their duties. While society would like to believe that they have a basic understanding of the responsibilities of police, which in simple terms is to protect and serve, there has been an ongoing controversial debate of either police are upholding to their duties and preforming them in a professional manner and if the manner does any justice to the oath they serve under. There is also a basic understanding of responsibilities that society should have of their police and other law enforcement officials, which may aid to the reduction on conflict between police and the communities they serve and enforce officers to act in a more
