Discussion: Best Practices in Community Policing

Your resources have covered the collaborative, complex, and multidisciplinary nature of community policing. With this awareness in mind, consider the attributes of a successful community policing program that you have experienced, from either the outside or inside. What positive attributes could you model—and share—for your Community Policing Plan Assignment, due this week? Likewise, have you experienced a less successful community policing program? If so, how could you combine your learning from this week with your experience to avoid the common pitfalls of planning a community policing program? In this Discussion, you reflect on personal or professional experience to prepare for your Assignment this week.

To prepare:

In order to practice presenting yourself to others and fostering collaboration within an academic community, you will upload a video response to this Discussion.

When recording your video, remember that you are presenting your response in an academic/professional setting. It should not resemble informal conversation (e.g., filled with slang, inappropriate language, or shorthand language drawn from texting phrases); rather, your response should be concise, respectful, and of the same quality as a good written response.

However, if you stumble a bit, don’t feel you have to record yourself again, because this is not a speech. Remember that your video does need to be professional. In other words, dress professionally and conduct yourself as if you are in a professional setting with colleagues and even supervisors. Be sure to record yourself in a room that is quiet and where no one can interrupt you.

To upload your media to this Discussion thread, use the Kaltura Media option from the mashup tool drop-down menu. Refer to the Kaltura Media Uploader area in the course navigation menu for more information about how to upload media to the course.

Assignment: Community Policing Plan

Community policing is a combination of approaches, philosophies, and strategies. The purpose of community policing is as old as policing itself, rooted in long-standing goals, practices, and problem-solving efforts. With an understanding of the roles in and factors affecting a community, you now shift to creating a community policing plan.

For this Assignment, you develop a proposal for a community policing plan. The key elements of a proposal are listed below. Consider Part 1 of the document to be public—that is, it is a document to be shared with an audience consisting of community members and your peers in your law enforcement agency. Part 2 of your document is your analysis and reflection of the plan, the audience for which is your Instructor only.

BY DAY 7 OF WEEK 5

Submit a community policing proposal that contains the following:

Part 1

In 250–500 words, address the following in your proposal. Because this is a “public” document with the goal of disseminating information to your community, you may use a combination of paragraphs and bullet points. Be sure to use proper grammar and APA style.

In the introduction to your proposal, address the following:

Identify the problem you seek to address.
Describe the proposed solution in a summary statement that is concise but complete.
Identify the proposed duration for the community policing plan that will address the problem.

In the remainder of your proposal, include the following items:

Mission statement
Vision statement
Possible challenges and opportunities
Strategies for implementation and success
Part 2

In 500–750 words, respond to the prompts below. Recall that this portion of your document is your analysis and reflection of the plan, the audience for which is your Instructor only.

Identify the interdisciplinary entities that will be stakeholders in your plan (i.e., the institutions or parts of the community to partner with) and explain their roles.
Explain how you foresee your plan working “on the ground.” In this explanation, be sure to be forthcoming about possible challenges and how you intend to overcome them. For example, what challenges not shared in the public plan do you think you may encounter?
Describe any outreach strategies you could employ, including social media or press-style announcements.
