Street-Level View of Community Policing in the United States, 1995
Description
This study sought to examine community policing from a
street-level officer's point of view. Active community police officers
and sheriff's deputies from law enforcement agencies were interviewed
about their opinions, experiences with, and attitudes toward community
policing. For the study 90 rank-and-file community policing officers
from 30 law enforcement agencies throughout the United States were
selected to participate in a 40- to 60-minute telephone
interview. The survey was comprised of six sections, providing
information on: (1) demographics, including the race, gender, age, job
title, highest level of education, and union membership of each
respondent, (2) a description of the community policing program and
daily tasks, with questions regarding the size of the neighborhood in
terms of geography and population, work with citizens and community
leaders, patrol methods, activities with youth/juveniles, traditional
police duties, and agency and supervisor support of community
policing, (3) interaction between community policing and non-community
policing officers, (4) hours, safety, and job satisfaction, (5) police
training, and (6) perceived effectiveness of community policing.
