Community Oriented Policing
Community Oriented Policing (C.O.P.) is a philosophy of full-service, personalized policing where officers work in a proactive partnership with citizens to identify and solve problems. The focus of community-oriented policing is not simply on responding to crime, but on preventing crime and resolving community problems. The philosophy rests on the belief that the police and the community must work together as partners to solve the contemporary challenges faced in today's society.
Community-oriented police officers are empowered with the autonomy and freedom to act as needed to implement and participate in community-based problem-solving efforts. Officers work closely with other organizations and community groups to educate community members about potential hazards they may encounter.
