This writing assignment explores the implementation of a Community Policing strategy to help reduce crime. You are the police chief of a medium sized police department (1,000-1,500 officers) and have received a grant to implement a community policing strategy/program in your jurisdiction.

2. How will you convince all officers (e.g., patrol, supervisors, etc.) in the department to support this strategy?
3. How would you gain support from the community?
4. What will be your strategic plan?
5. How will you incorporate officers and the community into the development of the strategic plan?
6. How will you measure success (i.e., evaluate the success) of the community policing program?
7. How often will you assess the community policing program?
8. How will you communicate the reporting of the results of the assessment?
9. What are some limitations of this strategy that may arise?
