Community-based policing

Community-based policing is a strategy where police work closely with residents to solve local problems and improve safety. Instead of just responding to crimes, officers build relationships within communities, understand their unique needs, and collaborate with residents, local organizations, and businesses. This approach fosters trust, encourages cooperation, and creates a safer environment by addressing issues proactively and collectively. It emphasizes partnership and problem-solving rather than solely enforcement, aiming to enhance quality of life and prevent crime through community engagement.
