The systems approach to community crime and drug prevention incorporates community and interagency partnerships to achieve the goals of reducing crime and drug abuse as well as the fear of crime. Such a strategy elevates crime and drug prevention to the level of other more traditional policing activities. The philosophy and techniques of crime prevention are embraced by a cross section of the community: law enforcement, churches, citizen groups, schools, health professionals, businesses, municipal agencies, elected officials, and neighborhood residents. This manual describes the three phases for the implementation of this systems approach to crime prevention. The first phase aims to integrate crime and drug prevention principles into all law enforcement operations. This requires the commitment and support of the top echelons of management and command leadership, specialized training, and the establishment of comprehensive database and crime analysis capabilities. Phase 2 features the development of a working partnership among the police, other governmental agencies, community agencies, community groups, and schools. This involves the development of planning and management teams, neighborhood evaluation, community involvement and support, and crime prevention through environmental design. Phase 3 consists of the coordination of the delivery of services to meet specific neighborhood or community needs for crime and drug prevention.
