List the five elements of partnership that defines community policing, according to the New York State Regional Community Policing Institute, and who police can partner with
What will be an ideal response?
According to New York State Regional Community Policing Institute partnership involves several important elements
• Working together on a common problem
• Identifying common goals
• Steady and consistent communication and information sharing
• Having a shared perception of problems and benchmarks for when problems are solved
• All parties contributing work toward accomplishing shared goals and objectives or solving the problem
Where partnership is really present, the police, residents, and other service agencies are involved in all phases of planning problem resolution. Moreover, a sense of empowerment must also be facilitated in which all parties feel they have equal input into the decisions and commitment of needed resources. Given the host of underlying causes of community problems, the police would not be able to deal with them effectively in the absence of such committed partnerships. Depending on the problem being addressed, police can partner with many different community organizations, such as the following:
• Merchant associations
• Neighborhood and civic groups
• Youth-serving agencies
• Tenant associations
• Block associations
• Community development corporations
