Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS)

Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is a program aimed at fostering collaboration between law enforcement agencies and local communities. It encourages police officers to engage with residents, understand their concerns, and work together to address public safety issues. By building trust and partnerships, COPS helps create safer neighborhoods through proactive practices rather than just reactive policing. The approach emphasizes crime prevention, dialogue, and shared responsibility, ultimately enhancing the quality of life while promoting accountability and transparency within the police force.
