Community policing is a philosophy and strategy of law enforcement that involves building strong relationships and partnerships between police departments and the communities they serve. This approach aims to decentralize power and decision-making, involve community members in identifying and addressing issues of crime and disorder, and emphasize problem-solving and prevention over traditional law enforcement tactics. Community policing often involves officers working closely with community members, local organizations, and government agencies to address the underlying causes of crime and build trust within neighborhoods. The goal of community policing is to create safer and more secure communities through collaborative efforts and a focus on community engagement and problem-solving.
