Community Oriented Policing (COPPS)
Why Learn About COPPS?
Because it can’t work without your help! Community policing calls for teamwork between
citizens and police. Crime prevention is an awesome task. The police are more effective
when they can depend on residents’ help. Commitment from citizens, business owners,
governmental agencies, elected officials, churches, schools, and other service organizations
are all vital if community policing is to work. Community police officers look to all residents
to help in solving community problems.
