Community policing is not new, I feel it needs to be tweaked. I think officers should live in the community they serve, to be actually part of it. If I was a city, I would give officers free/discounted housing in the patrol zone they are assigned to. I think Atlanta was doing this a few years ago. The city could restore run down/abandoned property. This would help to solve the issue of crack houses and just unsightly buildings. Also, having officers actually living in the neighborhood would be something of a deterrence for criminals. It would also make the officers vested members of the community. There are other programs out there as well, I just think people to care more when they actually live there.
