Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies that support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime.
The COPS program awards grants to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies, so they can hire and train law enforcement officers in community policing, purchase and deploy new crime-fighting technologies, and develop and test new and innovative policing strategies.
There are four elements in community policing that make it useful and proactive. These are the philosophical, strategic, tactical, and organizational dimensions.
Those theories are disorder-control theory, crime-control theory, class-control theory, and urban-dispersion theory. Disorder-control theory explains the development of police in the need to suppress mob violence (Novak et al., 2020). This theory is only really useful in bigger cities that have mobs and gang violence.
The most common types of law enforcement software include records management systems, computer-aided dispatch, digital evidence management systems, GIS, and license plate recognition software.
