Community policing
 | This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (December 2018) |
Community policing is a philosophy and organizational strategy whereby law enforcement cooperates with community groups and citizens in producing safety and security.[1] The theory underlying community policing is that it makes citizens more likely to cooperate with police by changing public perceptions of both the intention and capacity of the police.[1] The theory is also that it changes attitudes of police officers and increases accountability.[1]
Scholarship has raised questions about whether community policing leads to improved outcomes.[2][3]
