Building a Bedrock of Trust Between Citizens, Law Enforcement and Other Stakeholders: A Scalable Architecture for Community Policing

Marzell, Laurence; Brewster, Ben

Abstract

In today’s complex and interconnected world, the diverse communities that exist within it are complex ecosystems; no longer defined by geography alone. Instead, a multitude of factors, interests and connections, both virtual and physical, bind us together. These connections define the actions of collaborative multi-agency community policing (CP) approaches. In this chapter, a community policing architecture framework (CPAF) is defined. The CPAF framework provides a common and shared understanding of the governance, policy and flow of information, across and between the multiple stakeholder organisations involved. It includes not only citizens and law enforcement but all stakeholder actors. This creates a mechanism to better understand and share information at a community level, providing an essential building block to create and sustain trust and, ultimately, the means by which shared CP outcomes can be achieved.
