What is Community Policing?
Community Policing is a philosophy of full-service, personalized policing where the same officer is assigned to a specific geographical area on a permanent basis, working in a proactive partnership with citizens to identify and solve problems (Crime Area Target Team).
The focus of community-oriented policing is not simply on responding to crime, but on preventing crime and resolving community problems. The philosophy rests on the belief that the police and the community must work together as partners to solve the contemporary challenges faced in today's society.

Community Policing relies not only on community interaction, but uses information/data about crime types and locations. Previously, Crime Maps were used during the Department's weekly ComStat meetings to provide this detail on a district level.
