Assignment : Police Effectiveness and Community Policing
Police departments provide service to their communities, and like any service, it is important to determine whether the police are providing that service effectively. An inherent quality or design of community policing is that it effectively engages the community in crime prevention and crime intervention efforts.
Measuring police effectiveness in a community policing environment is an interesting challenge simply because the relationship between the police and the community is dynamic. Every community is driven by its own needs, and therefore, the implementation of community policing is different in different communities. Simple measures, such as police response times or numbers of arrests or clearance of crimes, may not be readily noticed by the residents of one community as effective service but might be greatly appreciated in another community.
Thus, many factors affect a community's perception of its local police department, and various methods can be used to measure that effectiveness.
