Discuss the Difference Between Two Communities

Discussion 2 week 1

There are many differences between community-oriented policing and police-community relations.  Community-oriented policing is a philosophy that combines aspects of traditional law enforcement with preventative measures and community partnerships.  It also focuses mostly on building ties with the police and with the members of the community.  Police-community relations is when the communities count on the department to protect ans serve the community while the police rely on the community to cooperate with them.  I believe that if there is a poor policy-community relationship then there are many problems so I think that having this kind of relationship is very important.
  I believe that police-community relations interactions and associations with community-oriented policing is a good way to gain trust between the officers and the community.  When the communities get the better relationship with the patrolling officers they should able to feel safer in the community because the officers learn the area and know what to expect.  When there is things out of the ordinary, the police already know and they are prepared for these situations.  I just believe that these relationships between officers and these communities help with possibly keeping the crime rate lower than normal.
  There were many changes in the whole philosophy over time.  Changes in communities I believe was one of the biggest reasons that these things have all changed over the past.  Society has changed so much that it actually comes to a point that we do not know who we can even trust anymore.  I would even understand why police would not even want to try having relationships with communities anymore because of how fake people can be now days.
