This report describes the procedure and outcomes of the National
League of Cities' (NLC's) Excellence in Community Policing Awards for 1996, 1997, and 1998. |
|
Abstract:
|
Under the National Institute of Justice grant, the awards
competition identified promising community-oriented policing
efforts at the local government level for the NLC membership.
This report lists the key factors in the administration of the
competitive process, describes the development of the program and
the procedure for reaching the competitors, and lists the States
that had entries (46 States and Puerto Rico applied over the 3
years). Information is provided on the breakdown of applicants by
city type and applications by categories. The "community policing
in action" category received the largest response, followed by
the category of "community policing in schools/youth/gangs." A
review of the winners and honorable mentions found the following
factors to be the keys to successful community-policing efforts:
collaborative efforts with the community, the business community,
and other agencies; clear identification of the problem; clear
outline of the program or effort's plan and objectives; strong
community support for the program or effort; and specialized
training for officers and volunteers. The NLC's dissemination of
information on the features of the successful community-policing
efforts continues to be available through NLC's weekly newspaper,
newsletters, publications, special reports, broadcast faxes, and
its database of exemplary community-policing programs. |
