Community Policing is a policing system that proactively involves and engages the local communities in policing activities, from crime prevention, crime management to intelligence gathering. It is a policing paradigm that can be implemented differently in different communities, cities and nations as long as the community-centric approach is adopted in its overarching design. This flexibility of Community Policing has made its implementation difficult to comparatively capture since different nations will be doing different things all in the name of Community Policing. This factor has also made it easier in Nigeria for lip service to be paid to implementation when in fact nothing tangible happens in reality. Since the 1999 return to democratic rule; Nigerian Police has been discussing the implementation of Community Policing. Strategy after strategy documents have been produced; yet this form of policing is yet to be operationalised effectively in Nigeria. The void left by this failure has led to agitations for State Police or Local Police by many Nigerians. Meanwhile, the community perception of the police has deteriorated further in the years since 1999 and confidence in the Nigeria Police Force is at an all-time low. The strategies in this book will work effectively regardless of the structure of policing in Nigeria; so, in that sense, the book will always be relevant for policing Nigeria for decades to come.This book is deliberately written in such a way that all rank and file officers can read and understand it. It is a practical book that focuses concisely on how Community Policing can be delivered. The overwhelming focus of this book is on how the Nigerian Police can operationalise Community Policing in as quick a way as possible and with the least resources expended. The book is direct and straight to the point. My goal in this book is to provide a practical template on how Community Policing can be operationalised in Nigeria. After reading this book, the leadership of the police at all levels should be able to see some low hanging fruits of Community Policing implementation, they can adopt swiftly to improve community relations and public perception of the police. To the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force; I hope this book will spark additional creativity to see what is possible and improve the delivery of Community Policing in Nigeria for the benefit of all.

Community policing has become the new orthodoxy for police in the United States, as well as in other countries around the world. Although the movement's philosophies and practices are spreading rapidly, little is known about the range of ongoing activities, the components of these experimental initiatives, the problems and challenges encountered, and the level of success in achieving objectives. Providing a clear picture of national and international trends in progressive police administration, the book explores the cutting edge of this movement with some of the best empirical studies to date. The editor has gathered together the expertise of widely recognized researchers to address the fundamental question of whether community policing is on the road to fulfilling its many promises. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the authors present a thorough evaluation of the social and organizational processes involved in planning and implementing community policing, as well as the effects of such programs.

Community policing is a philosophy and organizational strategy that expands the traditional police mandate of fighting crime to include forming partnerships with citizenry that endorse mutual support and participation. The first textbook of its kind, Community Policing: A Contemporary Perspective delineates this progressive approach, combining the accrued wisdom and experience of its established authors with the latest research based insights to help students apply what is on the page to the world beyond. ’Spotlight on Community Policing Practice’ sections feature real-life community policing programs in various cities, and problem-solving case studies cover special topics. The text has been revised throughout to include the most current developments in the field such as how the current climate of suspicion associated with terrorism threats affects the trust so necessary for community policing, and how the newest technologies can be harnessed to facilitate police interactions with citizens. Additionally, the book now explores the fragmentation of authority and emphasizes the importance of partnerships among the numerous law enforcement agencies, government agencies, and private social service agencies. * Each chapter contains learning objectives, key terms, and discussion questions that encourage comprehension * Video and Internet links provide additional coverage of topics discussed throughout the text. * Includes a 'Ten Principles of Community Policing' addendum
