This report explains the Tempe Police Department's (Arizona)
transition to community policing by addressing issues of primary
concern to policing professionals. |
|
Abstract:
|
The issues considered were barriers faced and how they were
overcome, the movement from implementation by a special team to
department-wide geographic deployment, the differences community policing has made for citizens, and how community policing has
changed the officer's work day. An overview of community policing
evolution in Tempe outlines three phases: the early planning
phase, which began in the late 1980's; the start-up phase, which
encompassed the Beat 16 experiment conducted in the early 1990's;
and department-wide implementation, which was launched after the
Beat 16 project ended and continues to the present, with
substantial refinements. The current study of these efforts
involved over 25 site visits from 1991 through 1997. These visits
involved interviews and focus groups with management personnel,
patrol supervisors, officers, and community members. The latter
involved telephone surveys with 1,000 citizens each year from
1993 through 1996. In addressing the key issues, the research
focused on the Beat 16 project, organizational change, policing
methods, workload and resources, human resources, citizen
involvement, strategic issues and planning, and leadership and
interagency cooperation. For each of these topics, the lessons
learned are outlined. 20 exhibits and 57 references |
