Discuss the various challenges facing community policing programs

What will be an ideal response?


There are many challenges to community policing programs. The decentralization of decision making runs counter to the traditional paramilitary command-and-control organizational culture of the police. Community policing requires more-educated officers and officers with creative problem-solving abilities. Many believe that the dislocation of crime is a major problem with community policing. Some people have expressed serious concern over the ability of community policing strategies to work in minority neighborhoods. A final concern over community policing strategies is the "potential tyranny of neighborhoods."
