Police and Community

Police services have implemented strategies and programs designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the services that they provide to the community.

Emphasis is placed upon the importance of partnerships between the community and the police in order to respond to and prevent crime and social disorder. 

Effective and innovative strategies foster community mobilization, engagement, and the direction of police services.
