Evolution of community oriented policing

The centralized form of control which was made to ensure a standardization of services and minimization of corruption increased the disparity between the community and the police. This was because traditionally the police used to dictate the community a situation which made the community to advocate for their involvement in the policing process. The increased number of protests and development of ideas by the communities in the 1960-70s led to the full-scale development of the social movements towards community policing (Community Policing Consortium 6). The citizens later took charge in the development and implementation of their own policies based on the issues that affected them. This led to the development of research and innovations by the US Department of justice to provide support and support the change of the law.

Despite the limitations associated with PCR and CPM, the two programs changed the nature of policing and also led to the development of various lessons which were implemented to make the modern policing rules (Kappeler &Gaines 90). Such lessons include the need for an effective relationship between the police department and the minorities for effective provision of criminal justice and the end of cases of police brutality. Through those programs, the police have also learned the need to embrace the spirit of service, accountability, and responsiveness. Factors that led to the shift of policing from an informal to a formal system Due to pressures and transformations in the society, there was the need for transformation of the policing methods from an informal to a formal management system.

Such transformations include aspects such as increased population growth (Kappeler &Gaines 50). The police were assigned to deal with different classes of people such as slaves and Indians in the towns and this led to the development of various organizations. These organizations were later developed to police departments with varied primary objectives based on the country they operated in (Kappeler &Gaines 58). Lastly, advancement in technology led to the formalization of police systems. Industrialization led to professionalization which was associated with the implementation of new tactics and technology of the police (Kappeler &Gaines 82). Mechanisms available to police administrators The police can utilize various mechanisms to enhance communications with the community. This involves the appointment of a group of special individuals to address a pressing issue in the community such as the presence of a gang.
