Assignment:

Your first post will be a response to a hypothetical student (in this case, the hypothetical student is "Joey"). Your response will be at least 100 words, and you will include a substantive question for others to review and respond to. Is there something else you want to know about Joey's post? Or is there something you want others to consider in relation to the overall topic of the discussion?

Joey's initial post:

Very good information this week! Community policing is defined by the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) office as:

"Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies that 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" (pg. 3).

Programs designed to help facilitate a community policing philosophy include coffee with a cop., shop with a cop., and police athletic leagues. According to the text, engaging the public in non-traditional policing roles helps to build community relationships and improve police legitimacy. Building trusting relationships can help increase community engagement in the problem solving process, as noted in the definition above. But it goes beyond "being nice," or trying to be friendly. It's about mentoring and providing leadership.

I found this video called, Beyond the Badge: Profile of a School Resource Officer:

Not in Our Town Series - COPS Office

The school resource officer is a sheriff's deputy in St. Louis County, MO, and this takes place shortly after the Ferguson, MO demonstrations. This officer clearly goes beyond the traditional policing methods and serves as a caring mentor, and an active listener, to kids who clearly need someone to listen them.

I would also like to add that if a police department is truly open and engaging, they must adopt the community policing philosophy from the top down. The Fort Wayne Police Department mission statement seems to reflect the values of community and quality of service:

The Fort Wayne police also have a well known community outreach program:

Lastly, the Fort Wayne police received recognition from the COPS office in 2023 during the annual community policing photo contest:

Community Policing in Action

Community policing is more than a simple program or being nice. A true understanding of community policing requires in-depth knowledge of those you serve and what you can do to help improve a general sense of community through mentoring and leadership.

What can you find that helps demonstrate a police departments willingness to relationship build through non-traditional policing methods?
