This book provides comprehensive coverage of community policing, the philosophy and organizational strategy that expands the traditional police mandate of fighting crime to include forming partnerships with citizenry that endorse mutual support and participation. The first textbook of its kind, Community Policing delineates this progressive approach, combining the accrued wisdom and experience of its established authors with the latest research-based insights to help students apply what is on the page to the world beyond.

The book extends the road map presented by Robert Trojanowicz, the father of community policing, and brings it into contemporary focus. The text has been revised throughout to include the most current developments in the field, including discussions of the 2020 protests and subsequent calls for police reform, and the rapid development of alternative responses for behavioral health and other non-criminal 911 calls. "Spotlight on Community Policing Practice" features throughout the text focus on real-life community policing programs in various cities as well as problem-solving case studies. Also assisting the reader in understanding the material are Learning Objectives, Key Terms, and Discussion Questions, in addition to numerous links to resources outside the text.

An excellent resource for any undergraduate policing or law enforcement curriculum, this textbook is also suitable for introducing graduate students to the principles of community policing.
