Community Policing. Why is community policing in minority, ethnic, and immigrant

Question

Community Policing. Why is community policing in minority, ethnic, and immigrant communities especially crucial to the success of law enforcement in any given city or rural community? Discuss the two examples presented in this section of the chapter (i.e., the police department in Garden Grove, California, without community policing in place [at the time of the fall of Saigon] and the Chicago Police Department whose community policing efforts resulted in a dramatic decline of violent crimes and property crimes in the city). What lessons can you extract from these two examples that may be applicable to your jurisdiction?

Explanation / Answer

Community policing has increased the police focus to include issues such as public safety, crime, fear of crime and community quality of life. Communities are seen as participants in shaping police objectives abd interventions as well as in evaluating them.

Therefore crimes ,( in the police department in garden grove, california) must be on rise because the police department is not following the community policing rules and regulations.

The result of Chicago police is appreciated as it followed the community policing rules, resulting into less violent crimes.

With these two cases hereby i conclude that by mobilising communities and focusing on discrete and identifiable crime , disorder and fear problems, it is anticipated that the community can become more crime resistant , have greater community efficacy and in turn be less affected by crime and some disorder. Residents who subsequently observed the police in action were more satisfied with police responsiveness to community concerns, thought they were more affective at dealing with crime and felt safer.
