Policía Comunitaria

Policía Comunitaria, or Community Police, is a policing approach focused on building partnerships between law enforcement and local communities. Instead of solely enforcing laws, officers collaborate with residents to identify problems, improve safety, and foster trust. This model emphasizes preventative measures, active communication, and community participation to address issues like violence, theft, or social conflict. By working together, police and residents aim to create safer neighborhoods, enhance public confidence in law enforcement, and develop solutions tailored to the specific needs of each community.
