Community Policing: Trust Between the Citizens and The Police

The effectiveness of policing and police reform has reemerged as a prominent topic of debate in the United States following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Elijah McClain. This has reignited America’s need to apply community policing, wherein the police will live in the community they serve. This will create law enforcement systems with the help of the citizens, with familiarity with their needs and life practices. Due to the current killings mainly of black people, issues of mistrust and insecurity in the police had reemerged.

While it worked out for some, the cons are just as much as the pros. Surprisingly, community policing did not work out well in the south nor did it create trust between the citizens and the police. Mainly because it has been a sudden shift and appeared as if it was a superficial approach to the occurring problem.

In this video, we will discuss the ongoing debate about community policing. And will the US ever make this work, will community policing end police brutality or will it favor certain community members? Will making police live in the places they protect to make a difference?
