Community Oriented Policing Services

Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is a strategy that encourages collaboration between law enforcement and community members to enhance public safety. The approach focuses on building strong relationships, addressing the root causes of crime, and involving citizens in problem-solving efforts. Rather than just responding to incidents, police officers work proactively with the community to identify and solve issues together. This partnership fosters trust, improves communication, and creates a safer environment by promoting shared responsibility for community well-being. Ultimately, COPS aims to create public safety solutions that reflect the needs and values of the community.
