Discuss whether community policing can be effective in the post-9/11 era, in terms of guarding against further terrorist attacks

What will be an ideal response?


Community policing is an important concept to adopt in efforts to prepare for and respond to acts of terrorism. Officers in departments that fully embrace community policing will have an advantage in recognizing potential terrorist threats and targets in their jurisdictions because their daily work requires and imparts an intimate familiarity with their regularly assigned patrol area. Officers must keep their ears to the ground and establish a rapport with the various sources of information in their community, including storage facilities, religious groups, real estate agents, hotels and motels, colleges and universities, transportation centers, and tourist attractions.
