Community Policing

Community policing is only as good as its community involvement. This also applies to community-based programs. Community-based programs are important in the service delivery in many communities. Officers deal with the criminal aspects of community policing, but there are programs and projects that are implemented by the citizens, with the help of law enforcement, in an effort to help deter crime in their neighborhood.\

The list of programs implemented through community policing goes on and on.There are programs like, “Neighborhood Watch, citizen police academies, citizen surveys, and the establishment of community policing units”, that have become a staple in a lot of communities to help steer crime away from residential areas. Programs like National Night Out symbolizes a neighborhood’s unison in fighting crime by leaving their outside lights on. Citizens can find a plethora of ways to get involved in community policing. It can be as simple as making sure that the elderly lady down the street makes it home safely from the grocery store to starting your own Neighborhood Watch program.

The following are some standard steps to help prevent further car larceny and Auto theft here in Rye.

Lock your car.
Keep your keys in your house, NOT in your car and NOT in your garage.
Keep an outside light on.
Immediately call 911 with any suspicious activity.

The community-oriented programs are only a small part of making the community policing model work. Overall, community policing works if the affected community work together with the police and other governmental offices to ensure that it is a success.
