Community policing is "personalized policing" that involves the
same officer patrolling the same areas on a permanent basis,
operating from a decentralized ministation and working with
citizens to identify and solve crime problems.
Despite widespread public support for police department
decentralization, permanent assignments, and the development of
citizen/police partnerships with local communities, the issue
remains a controversial one. Community policing necessarily
requires a radical transformation of what police have traditionally
done. Full adoption of community policing involves substantial
organizational change, including the leveling of the bureaucratic
hierarchy, and, unsurprisingly, there is considerable resistance to
such changes within police departments.
This book is an examination of the development of community
policing in Seattle, Washington. Exploring the processes of
legitimation, urban politics, and micro-organization, the author
shows how one police department negotiated both the internal and
external political pressures to create community policing -- and
the level of success attained.
