Document Summary
Organizational strategy philosophy: the community must work together to determine how to solve the problems that can create a crime. Requires a department wide commitment: all personnel"s, the community and police must work together to develop initiatives that can help. Decentralizing and personality police services so the police are more approachable and so citizens can access the police, people are willing to approach, work with and discuss problems that might exist in a community. Focussing on neighbourhoods that have more problems than others. Hopefully prevent or decrease the rate of crime. Instead of working with communities, they are focussing on areas or neighbourhoods that are poor or have minority groups. More stopping, searching and sentencing of minority groups (racial profiling) Most work they do is reactive responding to reports from the public. Proactive discover crime through their own work or try to prevent crime from happening, working the system before crime exists.
