This speech was delivered by Chief Kerlikowske of the Seattle, WA, Police Department on June 18, 2003, at the Second Annual National Community Policing Conference in Washington, DC. The speech focused on recognizing community based policing and its contributions to law enforcement and recognizing the importance of the military on civilian policing. The speaker went on to explain that community oriented policing, as evidenced in Newport News, VA, by the piloted work of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), focused on understanding the concepts of problem solving, decisionmaking, and partnership. Community oriented policing has combined the strengths of each of the cycles that have come before and despite its clear development and evolution over time, it is being relabeled to become terrorist oriented policing (TOP). It is important to realize that in many ways the military has moved further and faster than law enforcement. Many police departments are more military than the military and, with the success of the Gulf War and Iraq War and the focus by our military on stabilization and nation building, it is apparent that there is a lot to learn while understanding and recognizing the differences between the police department and the military. In the closing statements of the speech, Chief Kerlikowske went on to explain that he was never more proud of the police than on September 11, 2001. Chief Kerlikowske closed his speech by adding that policing provides a firm foundation of trust, open communication, and acceptance of role and responsibility, and delivering what is promised without complaining.
