Police in a new society are charged with maintaining stability and order through crime prevention and law enforcement. Community policing is a flexible, problem-solving approach that is based on a police-community partnership. Community policing is a practical alternative in that it considers community concerns and suggests realistic solutions. It is also a complete policing philosophy through which the community accepts policing measures, police-government relations improve, and police resources are used more efficiently. In many developing countries, existing police forces are paramilitary organizations that have no standards for recruiting, training, or discipline. If accepted, community policing could be implemented in phases, including an administrative phase, a headquarters phase (environmental analysis, community consultation, and implementation), and a training phase.
