ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the strategic policing and how to conduct community needs to determine accountability. It explores the steps in the strategic management process and describes the implementation and effectiveness of Community Policing (COP). The chapter explains the implementation and effectiveness of Problem-Oriented Policing (POP). It identifies the implementation and effectiveness of Compstat. The chapter focuses on the implementation and effectiveness of Intelligence-Led Policing (ILP). It reviews the implementation and effectiveness of Smart Policing. Strategic policing is built upon four interrelated elements: a shared sense of direction, creativity, commitment, and accountability. Evaluations of Community Policing programs have focused upon the impact of specific programs limited to certain areas. Typically, Community Policing features the provision of identifiable officers who know their assigned patrol area and its residents. The assumption is that a mutually supportive bond will develop between the community and its patrol officers. Many departments use Community Policing within a framework of Problem-Oriented Policing to enact it.
