Community Policing
-
Court's Increasing restrictions on searched and Investigations led to gradual displacement of professional crime-fighting model by a set of strategies and programs - known as community policing
Police are being transformed as
neighbourhood problem-solvers ratherthan incident-activated crime-fighters
Evolved: How?
Police officers assigned to community
policing duties were asked to maintainclose contact with the communityand
to solve their problems through footpatrols, community meetings and
prompt service at police stations

Waht about India?
-
-
The reforms by central govt instead of switching to problemsolving
and community policingstrategies, it kept investing in the crimefighting
strategy
it ignored the failure elsewhere on the
fire-brigade model of reactive policingin curbing crime by itself.
The ever-increasing fear of crime
is reflected in gated communitiesand the booming private security
industry.
Way forward
There is an urgent need to embrace
hybrid of the community-oriented andcrime-fighting policing strategies.

With 356 million people in the 10-24 years age group, a proactive police engaging
an interconnected, volatile and youthful population through community policing programmes is perhaps the only hope for enduring peace and lasting order.
There is a need to fill up the
huge vacancies in police andupgrade its infrastructure in
terms of housing, transport,communications and forensics
We have had enough of Ruler's Police and we need People's Police
and no one is sure, when this transformation will take place.
