Community
Policing – W2 Assignment
How
Citizens Engage in Community-Oriented Policing?
Community
policing should be a citizen owned effort. Of course the police and other city
agencies should be involved when necessary but the most consistent and
comprehensive effort should belong to the neighborhoods and businesses that are
in the affected area.
Assume that
you are a community leader in an area with no ongoing community-oriented policing
effort. For this week’s assignment you are to evaluate the role of citizens in
the community-oriented policing effort. How would a group of citizens assess
the needs of the community and critically analyze what resources they have and
need to make a positive impact? What would be the best strategy be for your
group to engage with the police and other city agencies in this effort?
