 | Over time, the community policing reform movement has come to mean different things to different people. In fact, the community policing movement has wrestled with tension between philosophical ambiguity and implementation specificity for years. So what is community policing? What does it mean when a police agency says that it practices community policing? This report explores these questions by examining the implementation of community policing in 12 police agencies across the nation. It describes and analyzes the experiences of local law enforcement agencies and lessons learned as they work to define, make sense of, and implement community policing, synthesizing what was learned in topic-specific chapters. While there is no one-size fits-all approach to implementing community policing or any other innovation, this report offers police officials at all levels ideas that can be used in their own organizations to help implement effective community policing throughout the United States.By Edward Maguire, William WellsCategories: Foundations of Community PolicingLanguage: EnglishPublic link
