WHERE ARE WE GOING?Washington Police Department
Community Oriented Policing• Balances reactive responses
to calls for service with proactive problem-solving centered on the causes of crime and disorder.
• Community oriented policing requires police and citizens join together as partners in the course of both identifying and effectively addressing issues.
Community-oriented policing
TRADITIONAL• React to incidents• Take a report• Take yet another
report• Randomly patrol• Make arrests
COMMUNITY-ORIENTED• Constantly review reports for
patterns, geography becomes relevant
• Look for root causes • Look for commonalties, ie- low
lighting, limited access • Utilize supportive technology• Concentrate on small
problems to prevent big ones• Develop community
partnerships
Community Policing Goals for Crime Reduction
• To significantly reduce street level activity and those crimes associated with it
• To Improve the living conditions of residential areas experiencing the negative effects that unlawful activity creates
• To rebuild community trust through partnerships, ie-citizens academy , teen squad, explorer post, PAL, engagement, etc.
• To redirect offenders to a more productive life
