 The concept of Community Oriented Policing has been embraced by virtually all law enforcement agencies in the United States.

Community Policing is not a new idea. Community policing is a strategy that builds on fundamental policing practices and emphasis on crime prevention and lasting solutions to problems. It requires citizen participation and new thinking from police officers. Community policing reduces crime and fear while restoring a sense of order. But it also can rebuild the bond between citizens and government.
