The document discusses the history and development of community policing in the United States. It explains that the traditional "professional" policing model alienated the police from the public. As crime increased, communities wanted more involvement in policing. This led police departments to begin working more closely with communities and seeing the value of positive community relationships. Most law enforcement agencies now claim to practice community policing philosophy, though implementations vary. It is important to understand the history to comprehend why agencies adopted this approach.

the Prevalence of Community Policing

As a backlash, the professional model, which reflects a "we are the
experts and you are not" attitude, alienated the police from the public.
Problems and crime kept growing, and people wanted to be more
involved in their communities. Therefore, community members started
to work closely with the police. The police saw their resources diminish
and decided it was critical to engage the communities to more
effectively combat rising crime.
Today, the vast majority of law enforcement agencies state that they
subscribe to the community policing philosophy. The implementation of
the philosophy is varied, but most agencies acknowledge the value of
having a positive working relationship within the community.
Thus, it is important to understand the history of modern policing to
comprehend some possible conclusions as to why agencies began
adopting the community policing philosophy.
Tasks:
Prepare a three to four page report answering the following questions.
•What are the main reasons for the majority of US law enforcement
2. agencies to adopt the community policing philosophy? •What is the most
important aspect of community policing that is attractive to the
community? •What is the most important aspect of community policing
that is attractive to the police? •What aspects of prior policing models
are not acceptable in today's communities?
Note: Use at least three scholarly sources, with at least one source that is
not part of the assigned readings. Include a separate page at the end of
the report, in APA format, that links back to your in-text citations and
supports your recommendations

Please select a problem that you find interesting
fromhttp://www.popcenter.org/casestudies/. Thoroughly read the
document describing the problem and the response. In the spaces
provided, write an overview of the problem and the specific response.
3. Evaluate the actual response on the basis of what you have learned about
problem-solving and suggest any improvements the agency could have
considered in any area of the problem-solving process. For example,
does it appear the SARA problem-solving model was used
appropriately? Does the data support the response? Are there alternative
responses that could be considered? Do you believe the problem was
solved, or do you believe the assessment was inadequate?

Engaging The Community

The professional model of policing emphasized that the police are the
experts and the community is the client. When moving from the
professional model to the community policing model, law enforcement
must effectively be involved with and engaged in the community. The
term "community policing" implies that the community is an integral
part of policing. Within a particular city, there might be such diversity in
neighborhoods that a method of engagement that is successful in one
area may not be appropriate for another. As a result, community policing
has taken many forms, depending on the unique nature of different
communities. There are some overarching principles when examining
how law enforcement can effectively engage community members.
Tasks: Read the assigned chapters from the textbook and the PDF
assigned to this module as additional readings and prepare a three to five
page report analyzing how a police agency can effectively engage the
community in community policing. In your report: ⦁ Provide at least two
examples of an effective response by a law enforcement agency to a
5. community problem. ⦁ Note why it is critical—with regard to the overall
success of the problem-solving process—to include the community in
the problem-solving process. ⦁ Provide at least three keys to successfully
engaging the community with the police. ⦁ Note any differences in how
the community was engaged in the two examples. Note: Include an
APA-formatted reference page that links back to your in-text citations
and supports your recommendations. Remember, you cannot have only
in-text citations or only references. You must have both because in-text
citations and references link to each other. Submission Details: ⦁ Save
the report as M4_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc.

Crime Here's What Happened . . . Centervale has recently had several

males under the age of eighteen. The halfway house is part of a federal
project to handle boys leaving juvenile corrections who have prior
substance abuse or other high-risk behaviors. The halfway house
provides residence for and treatment to juveniles for up to one year or
until they turn eighteen. You are the sergeant of the newly formed
neighborhood policing team. You are tasked with developing a plan to
