ACPI CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

Crime Prevention Through Community Engagement

A practical roadmap for building trust and respect for police through prevention-focused community policing initiatives

Prevention-Focused Community Policing Can Strengthen Trust and Respect Between the Community and Police

Law enforcement agencies are striving to improve relationships with community members and enhance the overall trust and respect for police, which supports their ability to address crime. 
"Community-Oriented Policing" is a phrase frequently used but often misunderstood by community members, politicians, the media and, in some cases, law enforcement leadership.
Prevention-focused community policing is a modern organizational philosophy with the primary goal of working cooperatively with citizens to identify and resolve issues that can affect the quality of life in their neighborhoods through a prevention-based approach.
