What Is Community Policing?
Community policing is a philosophy of policing built on a simple but powerful principle: public safety is most effective when law enforcement and the community work together to identify problems, develop solutions, and create safer neighborhoods.
Community Partnerships
Developing collaborative relationships between law enforcement and the people, organizations, businesses, schools, government agencies, and other stakeholders that make up a community.
Problem Solving
Moving beyond responding to individual incidents to identifying and addressing the conditions that contribute to recurring crime, disorder, and fear of crime.
Organizational Transformation
Aligning an agency's leadership, policies, training, supervision, technology, and culture with the principles of partnership and problem solving.
The SARA Model
Scanning
Identify and prioritize recurring problems.
Analysis
Understand why the problem is occurring and its underlying conditions.
Response
Develop and implement strategies tailored to those conditions.
Assessment
Evaluate whether the response worked and adjust as needed.
Our Core Values
"Police and the community versus the problem."
