Book excerpt: Community policing, as a philosophy, supports the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues, including crime, social disorder, and fear of crime—as opposed to responding to crime after it occurs. Community policing expands the traditional police mandate. It broadens the focus of fighting crime to include solving community problems and forming partnerships with people in the community so average citizens can contribute to the policing process. Originating during police reform efforts of the 1970s, the philosophy of community policing is currently widespread and embraced by many citizens, police administrators, scholars, and local and federal politicians. What sorts of collaborative partnerships have evolved between policing agencies and the individuals and communities they serve? How do police departments engage in systematic examination of identified problems to develop effective responses? How have police departments aligned their organizational structures to best support community partnerships and proactive problem solving? Just how effective have efforts at community policing been? These questions and more are explored within the pages of this new reference work. Features: A collection of 150 to 175 entries are organized in A-to-Z fashion in one volume available in both electronic and print formats. Signed entries, authored by significant figures in the field, each conclude with Cross-References and Suggestions for Further Readings to guide students to in-depth resources. Brief "What Works" case studies within appropriate entries profile community policing programs and strategies as tried in various cities and communities. Although organized in A-to-Z fashion, a thematic "Reader′s Guide" in the front matter groups related entries by broad topic areas (e.g., Foundations; Methods & Practices; Legislation & National Organizations; Changing Agency Culture; Planning & Implementation; Training & Curriculum; Assessment & Evaluation; etc.). Also included in the front matter, a Chronology provides students with historical perspective of the development of community policing. The entire work concludes with a Resources appendix listing classic books, journals, and associations, followed by a comprehensive Index.

Book excerpt: Prescriptive package detailing theoretical guidelines and practical methods for designing, implementing, and administering a neighborhood team policing program. The concept of decentralizing police decisionmaking authority to meet increasing demands on law enforcement services is featured in this NILECJ prescriptive package. A practical guide for police administrators and planners, this manual provides a method of organizing operations to improve police-community relations, increase crime control effectiveness, and enhance police job satisfaction. Chapter 1 is a summary of current knowledge about neighborhood team policing and a description of what the authors believe would be an ideal neighborhood team policing system. Chapter 2 describes the neighborhood team policing programs of several police departments. Subsequent chapters suggest procedures for planning and implementing neighborhood team policing, administering an ongoing program, providing training and education, and establishing lines of authority and methods of supervision of neighborhood teams. A practical approach for constructing a project budget is presented. Appendices include suggested operational guidelines, a format for team commander reports, a model proposal to obtain LEAA action funds, a case study of one team in New York City, a way of organizing a referral guide for use by police officers and a description of a training program implemented in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assessed the effectiveness of a sample of Neighborhood Police Teams (NPTs) throughout California. NPTs are decentralized, interdependent squads of police officers and/or nonsworn personnel fielded in support of a community policing philosophy. Members are collectively responsible for solving problems and providing customized police services to a particular geographic area, usually an identifiable neighborhood, on a long-term basis. This study of NPTs included every California agency fielding NPTs and serving municipalities with populations of more than 50,000. This encompassed 59 NPTs serving 36 municipalities and representing 23 police and 4 sheriff's departments. The Team Excellence instrument was administered to NPT members to measure the eight team effectiveness dimensions. The Manager's Team Impact Assessment instrument assessed NPT performance by measuring each team's attainment of 20 commonly accepted community policing goals. Thirty-four percent of the NPTs achieved their community impact goals to a "great degree." These high-performance teams transcended the barriers experienced in earlier team policing efforts. These teams were focused, appropriately structured, highly motivated, and adequately supported. Members worked interdependently, engaging in team projects as much as possible. Sixty-six percent of NPTs achieved their goals to less than a great degree; and 20 percent achieved their goals to less than a moderate degree. Low-performance NPTs faced unsupportive and inhospitable operating environments. For effective performance, agencies must permit NPTs to pursue their mission without undue intrusion; such resolve was often lacking. Policy recommendations are offered.

Book excerpt: This monograph examines the history and central features of community policing and experience with this approach in the United States, Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Japan, and Singapore. Contemporary ideas about community policing arose from reconsideration of police strategies and practices in the 1960's and 1970's. Community policing is regarded as a strategy for improving relations between the police and the public while strengthening police effectiveness in preventing and controlling crime. The four elements of community policing are the organization of community-based crime prevention, the reorientation of patrol activities to emphasize nonemergency servicing, increased police accountability to local communities, and the decentralization of command. It thus involves major changes in the customary roles of the police. Thus, it raises concerns about the implications of thorough integration of the police into the community. In addition, the vitality of community policing may depend on social structure and be greatest in affluent, educated, middle-class communities.

Book excerpt: This report provides an examination of team policing approaches in seven cities, analyzing problems experienced in planning, implementation, and evaluation. The concept of team policing is generally intended to strike a new balance between the needs for police centralization for efficiency and community needs for police decentralization in order to increase responsiveness to the problems of citizens. In theory, team policing calls for reorganization of the patrol force to include one or more quasi-autonomous teams, with a joint purpose of improving total police services to a particular neighborhood and increasing job satisfaction of the patrol officers. This study examines team policing as it was experienced in seven cities -- Holyoke, Massachusetts, Richmond, California, Dayton, Syracuse, Detroit, los angels, and New York City. Some preliminary indications are given of why team policing has worked better in some cities than in others. The reports, which are subjective accounts by eye-witness researchers, contain a brief background of the city and the department and a description of that particular team program, pinpointing individual successes and shortcomings.
