ABSTRACT

Community policing is not the panacea of all ills, but very close if properly developed, implemented, and cared for by all stakeholders. We have o£en heard that history repeats itself. Is it true? is researcher believes history does repeat itself, and also ‹rmly believes that we have an obligation to learn from history and arm ourselves with the best weapons available as we look toward the future. History holds answers to prevention and cures for future events when we really study it correctly. For example, the United States does not want any more terrorist attacks, but there still exists a high probability the United States will be exposed to attempts. History also reveals a style of policing that may e€ectively address the future threats and challengescommunity policing.
