You have been hired as a consultant to assist a local police department convert to a Community Policing strategy. Create a plan that will guide the department through the change. Assume the Chief you are working for is new to the concept, so your plan will need to include:

•The basics of Community Policing

•Benefits of this strategy

•Recruiting and training: what qualities, skills, education, etc do you believe the patrol officers need to have? How will you ensure they have these qualities?

•Changes in patrol officer’s duties

•How will the department evaluate the success or failure of the new strategy

Keep in mind the needs of the community and the ideas proposed in the Broken Windows article.
