Community Participation
To control crime, resolve problems, and improve the quality of life, police and residents must be able to turn to public and private agencies for help. These agencies might include:
Other CBJ departments. For example, Community Development, Public Works, Law, and the Fire Department may cooperate with police and community members to clean-up a particular neighborhood, and hold those responsible accountable. Neighborhood clean-up discourages illegal activity and increases pride.
Community organizations. Help from the right people can really make community policing a success. Help can come from many areas including, boards and commissions, service clubs and organizations, churches and religious organizations, the media, print, radio, and television.
Business associations. An active business association can be a great asset for a community. Because their livelihood often depends on the health of the neighborhood, business people are often strongly motivated to help.
