policing model

A policing model refers to the overall approach and strategies law enforcement agencies use to maintain order and ensure community safety. It includes how officers interact with the public, prioritize issues, and address crime. Different models focus on various goals—such as preventing crime through community engagement, using strict enforcement, or balancing enforcement with problem-solving. The choice of model influences how police allocate resources, build relationships with residents, and handle various situations, aiming to create a system that effectively responds to community needs while respecting rights and promoting trust.
