6.B.6) Increase community policing efforts
Application of community policing strategies can both deter crime and improve relationships and interaction between police and the public. Community policing employs partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address crime and the underlying causes of crime. It is also contingent on organizational transformation of police departments to reflect modern management practices, including performance assessment and accountability.
The state’s Community Policing Grant Program was developed to support these programs, but was reduced considerably due to budget constraints. This program should be fully funded.
6.a The Legislature and Governor should fully fund the Community Policing Grant program
