Exam 7: Implementing Community Policing
What role does empowerment of line officers play in the transformation to a community policing police service?
Empowerment and ownership are two critical components of the community policing model, as exemplified by the Edmonton Police Service. Empowerment involves devolving to line level patrol officers the authority and discretion to do community policing, including establishing collaborative relationships with neighbourhoods, working in integrated service teams with other agencies and organizations, and doing POP. This is facilitated when officers are given "ownership" over a specific geographic area or community and are given the authority to work in this area to identify and solve problems as well as responding to calls for service. While senior police personnel may proclaim the adoption of a community policing model, unless the proper framework for line level officers, implementation of community policing is likely to be difficult.
