of the ‘crime-fighter’ versus the ‘community-builder’ mentality. A police agency can create a community-builder mentality compared to a crime-fighter mentality to create a culture of integrity. This cultural shift will help regain the public trust and legitimacy that has been recently lost. A police agency should develop policies and practices that advance the constitutional goals of protecting citizens’ rights and provides equal protection under the law.
