The Community Patrol Officer Program (CPOP), launched in New York in 1984, was designed to solve problems at the community level through the neighbourhood patrol officer. The authors of this volume present the research and findings of the CPOP. The multi-dimensional role the police officers were expected to play is examined and issues such as the effectiveness of the officers in implementing their new role, the obstacles they encountered, the attitudes of the officers and the perceptions of the community are explored. The book also suggests measures for improving and implementing similar programmes.

An extraordinary achievement by eminent authorities.,

This review is from: Community Policing: The CPOP in New York (Paperback)
This is the best book available on the subject. Its trenchant analyses of community policing and its advantages over more traditional forms of peace-keeping are fast becoming classic expositions. Written clearly and concisely--a welcome change from many sociological works--this is destined to become _the_ text for students of policing.
