Based on 3 ps: prevention, problem solving, partnership (with community) Community policing: a philosophy, management style and organizational strategy centered on police-community partnership and problem solving to address problems or crime and social disorder in communities. Following characteristics: it is an organizational strategy and philosophy, it requires a department-wide commitment, it rests on decentralizing and personalizing police services.
