Crime Prevention Principles for Policing IA
QUESTION 1
1.1
1. To build trust between the police and the community
Over time, the relationship between the police and many communities became
strained. People started feeling that the police were more focused on enforcing
laws than actually helping and protecting them. By introducing community
policing, the idea is to bring police officers closer to the community, helping them
gain the trust of the people they serve.
2. To make policing more effective in fighting crime
When police work together with the community, they get better information and
insights about what’s happening in the area. Residents know their neighborhoods
best, so their input helps police officers respond better to local issues and solve
crimes more quickly and effectively.
