Three papers examine the past, present, and future of policing, with a focus on police management styles, police-community relations, and police roles and responsibilities as they relate to professionalism and bureaucratization. Factors contributing to the implementation of a community policing approach in Canada, the underlying philosophy, and change management and resistance during program development and implementation are discussed in two papers. Attention is given to the importance of leadership and to involvement at all levels during organizational revision. An overview of the problems and prospects of developing an effective working relationship with the community is presented within the context of program implementation in urban London. Also discussed is the role of detectives in problem-oriented policing. The documented effectiveness of a neighborhood foot patrol program in Flint, Mich., also is described. Finally, the benefits of experimental design in the evaluation of police programs is illustrated in a study of repeat calls for police assistance in domestic assault cases. Synopses of panel discussions are included.
