Document Summary
A model of police work that is reactive, incident driven, and centered on random patrol. Based on the tree rs: random patrol, rapid response, reactive investigation. Partnership with the community: the adoption of this model resulted in the expansion of the police mandate and activities. No longer solely focused on law enforcement but also become involved in a variety of activities related to the quality of life int he community and to working proactively with the community. Involves the introduction of new programs to a community, substantial changes in the organization and delivery of police services, and expansion of the roles and responsibilities of line-level officers. Officers are given the autonomy and resources to identify issues in the areas they police and develop problem-solving strategies: evidence suggests that community policing approaches have an impact on crime rates when used with a targeted approach.
