CRJ 108 Police and the Community Credits: (3)
This course will provide students with a comprehensive introduction to community policing through the examination of successful management strategies that foster a positive police and community relationship. Focus is placed on the integration of contemporary problem-solving concepts with systematic issues in policing. Students will explore many of the new programs in community policing, the analysis of program successes and failures, issues in community policing, and conflict resolution strategies. This course will also explore the interpersonal relations of police officers (male and female) as they deal with various unique and identifiable community ethnic and racial groups. The traditional role expectations of law enforcement will be assessed in light of changing community demands for protection and service.
