Community Policing

In an age of escalating terror concerns, natural disasters, workplace and school violence, diversity issues, gang activity, and leadership scandals, community policing must be renewed.

Community policing is a philosophy encouraging the police to be inseparable from the community and collaborating with all elements of their jurisdictions. The essence of community policing is to sincerely create teamwork within the department and bonds of trust, open communication, respect and cooperation between the police and the public.

Modules of community policing training whereby police cultivate respect, empathy and sincere concern for community problems include:

• Ethics And Leadership
• History Of Community Policing
• Crime Prevention
