Students examine the role of community policing acting in equal partnership with the diverse groups in contemporary society to identify and implement effective solutions for community problems. The course begins with an analysis of traditional policing and moves on to a discussion of community policing as the future of policing. Emphasis is placed on learning the skills - self-direction, tolerance, problem solving, critical thinking, conflict management, and mediation - needed for practicing effective community policing.
