| dc.description.abstract | This discussion explores the dynamics and effectiveness of community policing through a comprehensive analysis of survey data collected from police officers and civilians. The study examines demographic profiles, levels of community participation, and the perceived impact on crime prevention and reduction. Key findings indicate a significant awareness of community policing activities but variable participation rates, suggesting a need for strategies to enhance engagement. The research highlights critical challenges, including inadequate funding, poor communication, and trust deficits, and underscores the importance of targeted recommendations such as enhancing community awareness programs, increasing funding, and improving police training. The report also identifies the role of technology as a pivotal factor in advancing community policing efforts. These insights aim to inform policy and practice, fostering stronger police-community relationships and more effective crime prevention strategies. Further research is recommended to explore specific crime impacts, barriers to participation, long-term effects, and technological advancements in community policing | en_US |
