Unit 4 DB Assignment Overview

Practical Considerations

Community policing comes in many different forms and involves numerous strategies. These strategies need to be integrated with each other and built into a comprehensive plan for community policing based on the needs of the

individual community. Societal problems that are the root cause of crime cannot be addressed by a police department alone.  Solving problems such as unemployment and drug abuse requires the involvement of agencies established specifically to address such problems.

Measuring the effectiveness of community policing strategies is not a simple task; it requires defining specific, measurable, and attainable goals set for a given period.

Setting Goals and Objectives

Goals and objectives provide the means for fulfilling the mission of community policing. They need to be integrated and thoughtfully constructed as part of a

broader plan for community policing. Without such a comprehensive approach, community policing efforts will likely become a disparate list of programs and initiatives that achieve no lasting effects in the community.

Goals define the end results the community wants to realize through community policing, and they must be mission-related. Goals represent the destination, the place where the community ultimately wants to be. Goals, therefore, need to be specific, measurable, and attainable over a given period, with a mix of short-, intermediate, and long-term goals.

Goals should also be within the power of the community and the police department to achieve. For example, the goal of having a crime-free community is impossible to achieve because the causes of crime are numerous, and there is simply no way to control all the variables that lead to crime.  More realistic examples of goals for community policing might include the following:

Initiate a neighborhood improvement program. Increase the number of Neighborhood Watch programs.

Create a citizen ride-along program. Work with local schools and community groups to establish a K–12 program for drug prevention.

Have the racial and ethnic make-up of the police department more closely match the community served.

Enhance communication with limited-English speaking residents.
