Community Partnerships
Community policing partnerships are integral to the successful implementation and sustainability of community policing strategies. One of the key partners in community policing partnerships is citizens in the community. However, citizens must be aware of the existence of community partnerships and be able to identify and address the need for additional community partnerships. To assist you in learning more about community policing partnerships in your community, respond to the following questions:
- How much do you really know about the community policing partnerships in your community?
