Community Policing. The broken windows theory emphasized the role of police in improving the capacity of communities. The policing efforts goal was to develop partnerships between police and residents in distressed neighborhoods in an effort to prevent crime and promote early detection of minor offenses.

It also, examines how the police organization must adhere to a chain of command in order communicate. The role supervisors, management and the administration must take in delegating authority and methods to monitor its misuse or abuse.

The system of allocating police officers to particular areas so that they become familiar with the local inhabitants. Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques, to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime (12Fe1) From the 1930s to the 1960s, U.S. law enforcement relied on a professional policing model. This model was based on hierarchical structures, efficient response times, standardization, and the use of motorized patrol cars. Although this model improved efficiency, operations, and accountability, it proved inadequate when civil disturbances
Keeping the peace means providing a presence at known trouble hot spots for example city centres. A police officer will also investigate allegations of any offence that is put before them. They will use good operational knowledge to decipher if the allegations are genuine and if so, they will report the crime and have it investigated. The police also provide high visibility policing to major events like football matches etc in order to prevent incidents of any criminality. Many police services also set local priorities which largely depend on the needs of their particular area for example, the police service in rural may have a very different set of problems from police services in urban areas.
An integral component to the infrastructure of government is law enforcement. In recent years, police actions, particularly police abuse has come into view of a wide, public and critical eye. While citizens worry about protecting themselves from criminals, it has now been shown that they must also keep a watchful eye on those who are supposed to protect and serve. This paper will discuss the types of police abuse prevalent today, including the use of firearms and recovery of private information. I will also discuss what and how citizens’ rights are taken advantage of by the police.
Some ways to play to the feelings of officers could be explaining specific examples of a particular police officer making a difference in a particular community or sharing specific stories of city residents whose lives have been affected for the better by actions taken by the Department. This practice should start at the police academy level and continue up through the

Responsibilities of a police officer are varied, and may differ greatly from within one political context to another. Typical duties relate to keeping the peace, law enforcement, protection of persons and property, and the investigation of crimes. Officers are expected to respond to a variety of situations that may arise. Discuss the problems and successes associated with recruitment of new law enforcement officers? Police departments are making efforts to better reflect the communities they serve.
This type of policing involves utilizing what you have in the community. The future of policing involves utilizing community-oriented policing and continuing to work with each community and various community programs. A very popular example that I think should be implemented in all police departments is the use of community members. They can do things such as form a neighborhood watch program, which would result in less crime being committed in their communities. This would mean the police would not have so many calls and can concentrate on other
