Community Policing

Community policing is a strategy in which law enforcement agencies build partnerships with community members to prevent crime, strengthen trust, and improve public safety. It emphasizes collaboration, problem solving, and regular interaction between officers and residents. RTI evaluates community policing initiatives and supports evidence-based approaches that foster positive police-community relationships.
