Full textAbstract:
Positive police-community relations are the cornerstone of a just and effective law enforcement system. They create a virtuous cycle of trust, collaboration, and accountability, leading to a safer and more equitable community. This qualitative descriptive study delves into the factors that promote positive police-community relations in Baguio City, Philippines. It further examines how improved relations impact accountability among officers of the Baguio City Police Office (BCPO). Focusing on firsthand experiences, the research interviewed key informants. These included three active members of BCPO’s Police Community Affairs and Development Group (PCADG) with at least two years of experience and a barangay official from Barangay Abanao-Zandueta-Chugum-Kayang-Otek (AZCKO). An interview guide explored their subjective experiences and perspectives on police-community relations. The study identified strong support from the local government, community cooperation and commitment, and efficient communication as key factors contributing to positive police-community relations. These improved relations led to increased community involvement as an oversight body of the organization, a shift towards responsive and proactive problem-solving, and a reduction in negative perceptions of police officers. Notably, active community participation creates a system of checks and balances, holding police accountable for their actions and promoting transparency in their operations. In essence, this study highlights the importance of investing in initiatives that nurture positive police-community relations. By breeding trust, collaboration, and accountability, such efforts can contribute to a safer and more just community for all residents of Baguio City.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the role of Police-community partnerships in promoting community relations with a case of three sectors, which are Nyabimata, Ruheru, and Muganza that were selected from the list of 14 sectors in Nyaruguru district. The study objectives were; to determine the role of information sharing between RNP and Community in promoting community relations, to examine how the fight against gender-based violence by RNP has promoted community relations, and to explore the role of a fight against organized crimes by RNP in promoting community relations in the selected three sectors of Nyaruguru district. The study applied mixed methods, which consisted of quantitative and qualitative methods to collect and analyze data. Data was collected from a sample size of 384 community members, 6 local leaders, and 15 police officers using questionnaires and interviews respectively. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential were used that consisted of frequencies, percentages, mean, standard deviation, correlation, and regression for quantitative data, and content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data from interviews. Findings revealed that there was a negative significant correlation between police-community information sharing and community relations (r= -200** P= 0.05) and a positive significant correlation between Police fight against GBV and community relations (r= 0.136**P= 0.05). There was no significant correlation between Police fight against organized crimes and community relations (r= -010**P= 0.05). The value of adjusted R-square is 0.0336 meaning that all the independent variables included in the model explained 33.6% of the dependent variable, which is community relations indicating that the model adequately fits the data. The strength of the model is further reconfirmed by ANOVA which indicates that P-value of 0.000 at a 95% level of significance. Therefore, it is concluded that police-community partnerships significantly influence community relations in the Nyaruguru district. The study recommended based on regression findings that the police should continue engaging in various community partnerships aimed at promoting community relations.

Full textAbstract:
Effective police-community relations (PCR) are essential for fostering trust, cooperation, and collaboration between the police and the communities they serve. This study explores the state of PCR and police services in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area (LGA), Rivers State, Nigeria. Drawing upon Community Policing and social exchange theories, the study investigates the interplay between PCR and police services in Obio/Akpor LGA. Data gathered through questionnaires administered to a diverse range of stakeholders, including police officers, local vigilante organizations, and community members, reveals both positive examples and persistent challenges in PCR and police services. On the positive side, community policing initiatives, such as foot patrols and neighborhood watch programs, have contributed to building trust and improving relations between the police and the community in Obio/Akpor LGA. However, significant challenges remain, including a pervasive lack of trust between the police and the community, exacerbated by issues of corruption, human rights violations, and police misconduct. To address these challenges and enhance PCR and police services, the study recommends the implementation of community policing strategies, enhanced accountability and transparency mechanisms, comprehensive training in community policing, empowered community oversight, whistleblower protection measures, and a strong emphasis on promoting professionalism and ethical conduct among police officers. By addressing these critical areas, the police and the community in Obio/Akpor LGA can work together to create a safer and more secure environment for all. This study contributes to the understanding of effective approaches to improve police-community relations and police service delivery in contexts characterized by low levels of trust and collaboration. It further underscores the importance of building and maintaining strong relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve as a cornerstone of successful community policing. Keywords:- Police Community Relations, Police Services, Community Policing, Trust, Collaboration.

Full textAbstract:
Recent controversies over police use of force in the United States of America have placed a spotlight on police in Western nations. Concerns that police conduct is racist and procedurally unjust have generated public sentiments that accountability must be externally imposed on police. One such accountability mechanism is body-worn cameras (BWCs). Optimistic accounts of BWCs suggest that the technology will contribute to the improvement of community–police relations. However, BWCs address consequences, not causes, of poor community–police relations. We argue that the evolving visibility of police associated with BWCs is double-edged, and suggest that the adoption of surveillance technologies such as BWCs in the quest to improve community–police relations will fail without a simultaneous commitment to inclusionary policing practices (such as community policing strategies, community and social development, and local democracy). We outline two initiatives that optimize BWCs by promoting these simultaneous commitments.

Full textAbstract:
In the midst of the development of digital era communication, the ability of public relations personnel to manage information is very much needed, considering that public relations have the goal of creating, maintaining, and protecting the good name of the organization. Public relations are also tasked with displaying ideals that support, developing relationships and "good will" through a two-way communication process in order to achieve mutual understanding, changing negative things that the community projects towards the organization into positive things. Police Media Hub is a digital communication channel between the police and the community. Through the content presented, the community is expected to be able to understand how the Police work in handling various crime problems, from street crimes to cybercrimes or international crimes. Police Media Hub also provides a clear picture of police actions in maintaining public order which helps the community understand the important role of the Police in protecting and serving the community. Therefore, providing training to improve the competence of public relations personnel is very much needed as a strategic and effective step in conveying information to the community.

Full textAbstract:
Police officers’ views about police-citizen relationships are shaped not only by opportunities to interact with community residents during normal police work but also in part by efforts due to the larger police mission of encouraging and supporting such attitudes. In recent years, police in different countries has shifted from the traditional reactive form of policing towards community-oriented approaches. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to explore police officers’ views of citizen-police relationships and community policing in Durban, South Africa. A qualitative research approach was adopted, to explore such perceptions in the study area. The findings collected through semi-structured interviews with the South African Police Services personnel suggested that police officer were dissatisfied and at best ambiguous about citizens’ participation in crime prevention activities or support for the police in a township dwelling. However, in a suburban area, the perceptions marked an improvement in their attitudes on various dimensions. These include officers’ views about the overall police mission, increased emphasis on service-oriented policing in contrast to a law enforcement approach, support for community policing, perceived citizens’ willingness to cooperate with the police in crime prevention activities, and decreased cynicism about citizens. These findings suggest confidence in the utility of community policing ideas.

Full textAbstract:
The study of police public relations is a new phenomenon that has been rising lately. Indeed, along with the growth of modernity, increasing disputes, the need for convergence, and the community environment, there have been increasing demands from the public for the police to make changes in their actions and attitude when dealing with the community. This research uses qualitative methodology as it explores activities carried out by police institutions. Hence, the a case study is a right research method because this research explores the government’s agency, especially within public policy. The research result shows that to complete this job correctly, the police need public support, and to maximize this support, the police need the functions of police’s public relations at all levels, from the National Police Headquarters to the District Police.

Full textAbstract:
This is a very challenging time for police–community relations, one characterized by a mutual lack of trust between police and citizens. But trust is an important tenet of effective community policing. Trust between police and communities can result in better problem solving, fewer legal violations by citizens, less frequent use of force by the police, less resistance by citizens during arrests, greater willingness to share information, less inclination to riot, and greater willingness of community members and police to cooperate. One key obstacle to fostering trust between the community and police is confirmation bias—the tendency for people to take in information and process it in a way that confirms their current preconceptions, attitudes, and beliefs. Recognizing and addressing confirmation bias, therefore, plays a critical role in fostering more productive engagement. If we are to improve police–community relations and co-create a way forward, learning to approach debates with open minds, an awareness of the lens of our own perspectives, commitment to considering the opposite, and the goal of listening with curiosity are essential.

Full textAbstract:
In many communities, certain segments of the population do not have trust and confidence in the police. These issues are particularly intense in some impoverished minority communities in which people are more likely to fear the police than to trust them. Much can be learned about the patterned dynamics between police and communities from the study of intergroup relations generally, and intergroup communication more specifically. Unfortunately, these phenomena have not yet been well studied from an intergroup perspective. In this prologue to the special issue, “The Police and the Policed,” we introduce contemporary trends in police–community relations from an intergroup perspective, and we provide a brief overview of the articles appearing in the special issue. We close by highlighting key take-aways from this collection, articulating a vision for future research on police–community relations from an intergroup perspective.

The Kerner Commission devoted significant attention to the issue of policing and its impact on communities of color in particular. In light of the 50th anniversary of the Kerner Commission, the focus of this article is twofold. First, this article provides a literature review on police commissions across time, both pre- and post-Kerner, to identify similarities. There are three key areas of focus that most of the police commissions have touched on: excessive police use of force, police–community relations, and personnel standards. Second, this article assesses the empirical evidence behind these three identified areas of concern and asks the following: What does the research show on the efficacy of police organizational reforms for reducing excessive police use of force, building police–community relations, and improving personnel standards? This article concludes by identifying areas for further research in each of these three subcategories. Specifically, this article highlights the need for further research to empirically delineate what strategies are effective for reducing police–community tensions.

Full textAbstract:
Community policing has been promoted as a key strategy for reducing crime and improving police-community relations. In Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria, efforts to implement community policing have faced significant challenges, particularly with conventional law enforcement practices. This study investigates the effectiveness of community policing in reducing crime rates and enhancing police-community collaboration, identifying the barriers to successful implementation. The problem arises from the disconnect between community policing principles and actual police behavior, as well as mistrust and limited collaboration between law enforcement and community members. The objectives of the study were to assess the impact of community policing on crime reduction, evaluate its influence on police-community relations, and identify the challenges faced during implementation. An experiential research approach was employed, using in-depth interviews with selected participants to gather data on their perceptions and experiences with community policing in Umuahia. The findings reveal that while community policing has improved information sharing and intelligence gathering, its potential is hindered by resource constraints, resistance from conventional police officers, and a lack of genuine engagement with the community. Furthermore, mistrust and skepticism about the police’s intentions continue to undermine effective collaboration. Participants proposed several recommendations, including enhancing community engagement, strengthening oversight mechanisms, and implementing anti-corruption measures to improve accountability and transparency. The study concludes that addressing these challenges is essential to realizing the full benefits of community policing in Umuahia. Strengthening collaboration between police and community members, allocating adequate resources, and promoting ethical behavior among officers are key to ensuring the success of community policing initiatives.

This study determined the implications of strengthening community mobilization programs for building police community relations in Batangas Province and utilized a descriptive-quantitative approach with the use of a self-constructed questionnaire based on the parameters of PRO 4A MC No. 2017-02. A total of 392 respondents (15 PCADU personnel and 377 residents from the 13 certified mobilized barangays of Bauan, Batangas) were chosen as the respondents of the study through stratified proportional sampling. The data was gathered two weeks before it was completed and treated with statistical tools such as percentage, weighted mean, and independent t-test. The study revealed that most of the police personnel are Police Corporal, under 5 years in PCADU, and have acquired PCAD Course, Online PCAD Executive Course, and Preparedness Search and Rescue and Relief Operation Seminar. Meanwhile, majority of the community members belong to the middle class, businessman, and live in a rural community. Moreover, the majority of PCADU personnel described CMPs in terms of community organization, community information and education, community empowerment and mobilization, and certification of mobilized barangays as always implemented, with weighted mean of 3.24, 3.23, 3.25, and 3.27, respectively, while the community members described them as often implemented, with weighted mean of 3.18, 3.17, 3.19, and 3.21, respectively. Majority of the respondents strongly agreed on the effects of strengthening CMPs, with weighted mean of 3.29 and 3.23, respectively. The output of the study is a proposed input to help improve the sustainability of CMPs in Batangas Province based on the least-rated items.

<div><p>This paper examines the existing relationship between the police and members of the public in Nigeria, highlighting the various problems endemic in both parties (the police and the public). The paper provides the essential pragmatic means of further enhancing this relationship for a better and peaceful society through the principles of community policing. The authors take a multi-dimensional approach to the police public relationship (P-PR) in Nigeria positing thatprimarily, there are structural, organizational, and attitudinal factors that led to the deteriorating nature of the P-PR in Nigeria. The paper posits that co-operation between the police and the public is a prerequisite for the success of any law enforcement agency, notably the police as well as a better, peaceful, and harmonious society. The police alone cannot achieve this without support from the members of the public whom they serve. For that kind of good working condition to be created, the police need to be polite, friendly, approachable, honest, law abiding and demonstrate high sense of responsibility in dealing with members of the public and in discharging their duties. On the other hand, the public must understand that maintaining law and order is a collective responsibility between the parties and should do everything possible to assist the police in protecting lives and property. Good and objective partnership between the community and the police will help bring positive response to crimes and other social problems.This can be achieved by ensuring proper and genuine police reform in the country to overhaul the organization and by bringing to book corrupt officers and men as general and specific deterrence.</p></div>

Full textAbstract:
One current initiative used by many police agencies across the United States to foster better police-community relations is the Citizen's Police Academy (CPA). While CPAs lack a precise academic definition, they can be considered to be a planned programme created by law enforcement agencies to educate their citizens on police operations and management. Over the last 20 years, CPA programmes have rapidly expanded among police agencies in the United States, where it is estimated that approximately 15% of all police agencies have some type of these programmes. This article expands upon the limited research on CPAs by analysing their impact on attendees. Specifically, this article explores changes in the attitudes of 48 CPA attendees who completed a 12-week/36-hour CPA programme at a Sheriff's Department in the state of Michigan. Based on the analysis of pre- and post-test responses, this study found that this particular CPA had a positive impact on the attendees' attitudes towards the police, and their understanding of police operations, crime, and quality-of-life issues in their community.

Full textAbstract:
The article contends that effective policing techniques should be employed simultaneously with the application of social capital, legitimacy, and trust in the police in order to strengthen police community relations. Research that demonstrated the existence of trust- building in police relationships and the efficacy of different strategies is used to support the thesis. Having positive relationships with the community they serve is said to increase a police department's effectiveness in reducing crime and disorder. Public support for the police is significantly influenced by the legitimacy of the organization. Enhancing police efforts to maintain peace, provide public safety, and battle crime depends greatly on public faith in community policing. Corruption and social unrest are bred by broken relationships between a community and the police. According to Tyler (2006), the effectiveness of law enforcement and other authorities is determined on how people perceive their intentions when they interact with people. This is what Tyler and Huo (2002: 61) refer to as "inferences about the intentions behind actions, intentions that flow from a person's unobservable motivations and character." Trust has a special relationship to citizens' perceptions of police legitimacy, plays a role in the effectiveness of law enforcement, and is frequently associated to emotions of safety (Goldsmith, 2005). Although it is crucial, faith in the police is complicated and readily betrayed (Goldsmith, 2005). The truth is that "its extent and very existence depends upon a range of factors both within and outside police control" (Goldsmith, 2005: 444). Overall, civilians give tremendous weight to understanding the officer's sincere intentions during unavoidable confrontations (Tyler, 2005; Tyler & Huo, 2002). Numerous academics have emphasized the significance of authorities' legitimacy in winning the public's support for their policies and regulations (Tyler, 1997; Weber, 1968). According to Sunshine & Tyler (2003:514), legitimacy is "a property of an authority or institution that leads people to feel that that authority or institution is entitled to be deferred to and obeyed." Scholars have recognized that legitimacy is a feature that is not merely instrumental in nature but rather represents a social value orientation toward authority and institutions since the classic writings of Weber (1968). That is, rather than out of fear of punishment for disobedience, individuals defer to and obey an official direction or instruction issued by legitimate institutions because they respect (and accept) the institution's right to make those decisions.Keywords:- Community Relations, Community Involvement, Public Trust in the Police, Police Effectiveness, Procedural Justice, Police–Community Relationship, Legitimacy; Policing; Social Capital.

Full textAbstract:
Societies` views concerning the Criminal Justice System institutions are shaped not only by opportunities to interact with such institutions during normal work but also in part by efforts due to the larger mission (of these institutions) of encouraging and supporting such attitudes. Due to the global COVID 19 pandemic, most countries have implemented a lockdown as an initiative to control the spread of the virus. South Africa is no exception as the country joined most countries and announced the national lockdown in March 2020. With the national lockdown, Criminal Justice agencies such as the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) were deployed across the country to ensure compliance with the lockdown regulations. The police are the most visible and powerful arm of the state, the nature of the state and the way it is perceived has a profound impact on police-community relations and vice versa. With South Africa’s pronouncement of the national lockdown and state of emergency due to the pandemic, more inquiries and investigations into police practice during the national lockdown will be made. It is precisely in this context that this study aims to reflect on police-community relations during the national lockdown. A criminological analysis on the ramifications of the dented police-community relations due to the national lockdown will be explored. With the national lockdown regulations, clearly gazetted, this study will also employ criminological theories to further interrogate the regulations that impacted on the dented police-community relations.

Kidnapping and hostage taking for ransom has become ubiquitous in various parts of the society and it is now more prevalent in developing societies and these has led to a security gap which the culprits are taking advantage of in perfecting their crime. This gap could be as result of inefficient and ineffective strategy been adopted by the security agents. This has resulted to a security challenge to the country and has caused the economy to dwindle. Community policing is a strategy of policing that focuses on police building ties and working closely with members of the communities. It is a policy that requires police to inherit a proactive approach to address public safety concerns. The study was anchored on functionalist theory. Community policing creates partnerships between law enforcement agency and other organizations like government agencies, community members, nonprofit service providers, private businesses and the media. The media represent a powerful pattern by which the police can communicate with the community and that enhances a cordial police-public relations. Community policing recognizes that police cannot solve every public safety problem alone, so interactive partnerships are created. The police use the public for developing problem-solving solutions and generating information. The overall assessment of community oriented policing is positive, as both officers and community members attest to its effectiveness in reducing crime and raising the sense of security in a community. Community policing calls for long-term commitment and partnership between the Police-public in curbing kidnapping and other criminal activities. The study therefore recommends that community policing skills should be integrated into the training curricula of the Nigerian police force. All personnel must become skilled in the techniques of problem solving, motivating, and team-building. Training should involve the entire agency and should include civilian personnel who can enlist participation in community meetings, help the police organization sharpen its marketing message, and incorporate sophisticated technology into the organization’s service-oriented operations.

This study aimed to determine the police trust in relation to police community relation and performance in District 1 of Davao del Norte, 384 residents from the district 1 of Davao del Norte participated the survey. The study used descriptive-predictive design with the utilization of mean, standard deviation, pearson-r and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that police-community relation positively and significantly correlated with police trust (r=0.500, p<0.05), similarly, police performance positively and significantly correlated with police trust (r=0.862, p<0.05). However, the significant influence of police community relation and police performance to predict public trust, overall results indicate that indicators of police performance, such as attentiveness, reliability, fairness, manners, and responsiveness, have a stronger predictive relationship with police trust compared to indicators of police-community relations. The public relation program also shows a positive relationship with trust in both models. However, the civic action program, public information program, mass communication program, and competence do not significantly contribute to the prediction of police trust.

Haul Mbah Priok's activities have the potential to cause disturbances in Kamtibmas, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Police are expected to play an active role in preventing various forms of social problems, including problems that may arise at Haul Mbah Priok. This study aims to determine the relationship between the National Police and the Community in Securing Haul Mbah Priok during the Covid-19 pandemic by the Tanjung Priok Port Police. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach. Sources of data in this study include the Head of Tanjung Priok Port Police, Head of Binmas, Head of Criminal Investigation Unit, Head of Intelligence and Security, Tomas and Toga, and the community. The methodology uses a qualitative approach. The results showed that the haul Mbah Priok vulnerability potential was very high. The results of this study are to equate perceptions of the technical plan for securing the Mbah Priok haul. Police-community relations in securing Haul Mbah Priok are no longer based on the legality of the Tanjung Priok Port Police's actions, but community recognition of the security measures carried out by the police which require "reasonable" security to be carried out in the interest of the community so they are not exposed to Covid-19. The strong relationship of mutual trust between the Tanjung Priok Port Police and the community is an important factor in police-community relations in securing Haul Mbah Priok in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyses the effect of institutional legitimacy on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability in police forces through their methods and procedures (procedural justice) that determine citizens’ trust in the police, which theoretically influences organised coexistence in human communities (social effectiveness). CSR can increase collective well-being through legitimacy, sustained by police action. An anonymous citizen survey was carried out to verify the theoretical proposal to inquire about their opinions on the legitimacy, methods, and community relations between Spanish police forces and the community. The hypotheses were analysed with a structural equation system. The practical implications aspire to know the citizens’ opinions about the methods and procedures used by the Spanish police and their relations with Spanish civilians. Finally, citizens consider that police actions and procedures are institutionally and legally regulated competencies, and, therefore, citizens cannot influence them.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Police-community relations are currently at a cross-road. Incidents over the past several years have severely damaged trust and faith in the police – particularly in minority communities. Society is faced with the choice of accepting an “us-vs-them” mentality with police on one side and citizens on the other or banding together to advance police-community coproduction in reducing violence. The purpose of this paper is to advance the latter by introducing a model for police to follow in police-citizen interactions in an effort to increase perceptions of fairness and legitimacy of police officers and police departments. Design/methodology/approach Using data from the National Police Research Platform’s Police-Community Interaction Survey, correlates of perceptions of fairness in police-community encounters as well as variation in agency-level fairness across 53 jurisdictions are examined. Findings Results show that application of the H.E.A.R.T. medical model is the most significant and substantial correlate of perceived fairness of police-community interactions and accounts for agency-level differences in perceived fairness. Originality/value The results highlight important ways that police can improve their image in the community and with minority communities in particular.

This study was conducted as controversy and turmoil engulfed police worldwide. Police-community conflict was widespread and conceivably increased officers’ stress levels. Because stress affects officers’ health and job performance, it is important to understand the phenomenon. This study was designed to ascertain officers’ stress levels, coping mechanisms, and perspectives regarding police-community relations, their perceived stress-related needs, and their perceptions of departmental assistance. Participants (N = 128) were police officers across several jurisdictions of various sizes in the northeastern United States. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected; analytic methods included statistical correlations and regression, as well as qualitative, thematic analysis. Results indicated the following: Participants experienced stress across multiple areas; some coping mechanisms predicted higher expressions of stress, as did certain perspectives of police-community relations and years in law enforcement. Participants’ perspectives of their needs and their suggestions for action contributed to data-driven policy recommendations regarding both prevention and symptom reduction approaches.

The purpose of the article is to determine the essence and features of partnership relations between the National Police and the community on the basis of current Ukrainian and foreign legislation, different opinions of scientists, and empirical data, as well as identify the main problems and propose effective methods of solving them in the de-occupied territories of Ukraine. The methodological basis of the study is comparative legal and systemic analysis, formal legal method, interpretive method, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. The partnership of the National Police with the population was characterized and its features were revealed. In the context of the research topic, individual points of view of scientists regarding building an effective partnership between the police and the community were considered. Such legal categories as “occupation”, “de-occupation” and “reintegration” of territories were characterized and their features were distinguished. The problems of organization and functioning of partnership relations between the National Police and the community were considered. A conclusion was made about the importance of cooperation with active residents of the community in the de-occupied territories with the National Police in order to more effectively prevent new crimes. Taking into account the current legislation and positive international experience in this field of legal relations, optimal directions and forms of interaction between the National Police of Ukraine and public formations in the de-occupied territories were proposed.

Full textAbstract:
The new era of rapid development of information technology today not only affects some aspects, but also activities carried out by PR (Public Relations) practitioners. This indirectly requires PR practitioners to face changes, namely the transition from the conventional era to the digital era. Conventional to digital PR activities are also known as Cyber Public Relations (CPR). One of the challenges of PR in the digital world is managing negative opinions from the public that can affect the positive image built by the organization. Currently, police agencies are one of the state institutions that are vulnerable to negative public opinion and are often threatened by their reputation in the eyes of the public. Therefore, this research aims to examine the implementation of Cyber Public Relations of Samarinda Police in shaping a positive image in the eyes of the community and what obstacles are experienced to form a positive image. In this research, the theory used is the Excellence of Public Relations theory. To reveal these issues thoroughly and in depth, this research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to explain the situation and conditions of Cyber Public Relations activities of Samarinda Police. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Cyber Public Relations by the Public Relations of Samarinda Police has not been carried out comprehensively. CPR activities of Samarinda Police only reach the level of press agentcy and public information, Public Relations also has not involved the community in CPR activities to improve their image. Some of the obstacles experienced by Samarinda Police Public Relations are related to the lack of human resources and interaction from the public in the media they manage.

Purpose Overt drug markets are particularly difficult to address using traditional law enforcement tactics alone; disrupting these markets often requires substantial community cooperation. Enhancing police-community relations has been offered as a promising strategy for closing overt markets, demonstrating sustained success in several settings. The purpose of this paper is to examine theoretical mechanisms hypothesized to create immediate and sustained disruption in overt drug markets, focusing on the role of strengthened police/community relations, and greater police legitimacy. Design/methodology/approach The manuscript describes a series of focus groups with community residents across three sites over 15-months after a drug market intervention. A repeated cross-sectional design enabled in-depth analysis of study participants’ views regarding mechanisms of change over time. Findings Study participants remained ambivalent about police legitimacy; they expressed appreciation regarding local policing efforts to improve neighborhood conditions, but maintained many negative feelings about the overall policing profession. Further, residents worried that the increased police presence might lead to greater harassment. Regardless of their misgivings, however, the findings reveal increases in police cooperation and improvements in some previously identified components of police legitimacy. Practical implications There is partial support for several underlying mechanisms of change over time. Study participants perceived a more focused police response, resulting in disruptions of the market and sustained improvements in neighborhood conditions. Originality/value This reflects original work not published elsewhere. It contributes to a growing body of literature on the role of police legitimacy in problem-solving interventions.

The community is now part of police organizations. Police must work in a law-breaking community that needs aid. The community supports and complains about the police, but most importantly, it evaluates their performance. PNP-approved permanent roadblocks must be handled by local uniformed personnel. Mobile checkpoints may be put up by other units with the local unit/station commander. The research will help the Cotabato City Police Office and all motor vehicle drivers entering the city enhance, maintain, and enforce the order to minimize unregistered, unlicensed, car-napped, and inebriated drivers. Cotabato City drivers and people will understand the need for police checks for safety. This study will help Cotabato City Police, drivers, and citizens. This research is quantitative, descriptive, and correlational. Studying Cotabato City police checkpoint dynamics requires organization due to many considerations. Cotabato City people are the study's key respondents. Citizens are stakeholders and direct beneficiaries of police checkpoints. Thus, they may assess their efficacy This research will sample purposively. The research methodology and data collection will include a letter to participants. Researchers may also use saturation to achieve a point when additional volunteers provide no new information. This extensive analysis of Cotabato City police checkpoint actions uses carefully prepared questions to collect specific information from respondents. Ethics guided our whole inquiry. Many conclusions may be drawn from this study. Major police roadblocks in Cotabato City increase security. Checkpoints detect contraband and security hazards, but they may be improved. Checkpoints prevent crime, terrorism, and administrative offenses. Aim to improve public safety and relations. Some ideas: Enhance Training. Police personnel should get continual Training on personal behavior, citizen rights, and professionalism, particularly in difficult circumstances. Increase checkpoint safety through investing in traffic management, road safety, and community safety response. Outreach, public knowledge, and checkpoint staff openness strengthen community-police relations—SOP review.

Full textAbstract:
Communication between police and community is an inevitable part of policing. Core narratives—subjective, internal, sense-making processes that can shape behavior—that police officers hold related to communication can influence police–community interactions. There is no known research on core narratives related to police officer communication. To begin to fill the gap, this paper reports the analysis of in-depth interviews conducted to investigate how police officers understand police–community relations and the nature of encounters with community members. Communication emerged as an important theme. Five communication core narrative themes were identified: communication as central, advocacy, cover, withholding, and connection. Four of the core narrative themes were abstracted into two dimensions along which the characteristics of the communication varied. Understanding the core narratives influencing officer intergroup communication can help researchers and practitioners see the larger implications of communication, an essential component of policing and police–community relationships, and its connection to officer behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Police abuse of African Americans was an immediate trigger for the urban uprisings of the 1960s, and civilian review of police actions became a central tenet of civil rights liberalism. The failure of Philadelphia’s Police Advisory Board (PAB), the nation’s first independent civilian review board (1958), to meliorate police–community tensions suggests the limitations of civil rights liberalism: an inability to confront the role of police as “dirty workers,” who performed the unacknowledged but widely demanded function of maintaining racial hierarchy in the postwar city. Working-class African Americans, the most frequent victims of police brutality, came to see civilian review as a charade and rejected the limited vision of civil rights liberals. The PAB’s failure shows that police reform is impossible without a broader commitment to overturning racial hierarchy.

Full textAbstract:
In the article, the author examines the administrative and legal status of a community police officer. It is emphasized that the radical change of legal relations has led to the transformation of the legal status of their participants, in particular, the administrative and legal status of the National Police. It is determined that the main subjects in the field of providing police services for public safety and order should include a community police officer. It is claimed that the administrative and legal status individualizes the position of any unit of the National Police, in this case community police officers, as it determines not only their rights and responsibilities, but also tasks and functions, organizational structure, competence. It is noted that rights are the interests of a certain subject of administrative and legal relations, which consist in the use and free disposal of social goods and values, as well as allow the enjoyment of fundamental freedoms within the limits established by law. Accordingly, a duty is a set of obligations of one subject of administrative law in relation to others, which is a certain organic necessity that reconciles personal and public interests. Rights and responsibilities as complex elements of administrative and legal status distinguish its integral component, without any of the elements of which it cannot exist. It has been proven that a community police officer is a police officer who is focused on solving the security problems of his or her local community. It is proposed to define the administrative and legal status of a community police officer as a set of administrative and legal norms that establish tasks and functions, organizational structure, powers, forms of responsibility and competence. The characteristics of the administrative and legal status of a community police officer include: his position in the hierarchy of the National Police, the issue of subordination; purpose, tasks and functions; directions, forms, methods of activity.

With the various negative issues that have approached the Indonesian police, this can have a negative impact on the image of the police. Therefore, a maximum public relations role is needed in improving the image of the police. This research aims to find out about the role of public relations of the South Tangerang Resort Police in improving the image of the police. It is also done to find out the opinions of external parties, namely the community and journalists who partner with the South Tangerang Police regarding the role that has been carried out by public relations in improving the image of the police. The theory used is the Public Relations Role theory from Ruslan (2016), namely Communicator, Relationship, Back up Management, and Good Image Maker. The approach used in conducting this research is a qualitative approach, and uses descriptive methods using data collection techniques through interviews, documentation, and literature studies. There are four sources in this study, namely the head of the public relations section of the Tangsel Police, PS PIDM Sub Section, one of the people who live in South Tangerang and journalists who partner with the Tangsel Police.

In 2013 the Western Cape legislature passed the Western Cape Community Safety Act (WCCSA) to improve monitoring of and oversight over the police. One creation of the WCCSA is the Western Cape Police Ombudsman, which became operational in 2015. This article reviews its history and context, as well as results from its first year. The Police Ombudsman, the only one in the country, must be seen as one of the results of efforts by the opposition-held province to carve out more powers in the narrowly defined constitutional space, and in so doing to exercise more effective oversight and monitoring of police performance, and improve police–community relations. The Ombudsman must also be seen against the backdrop of poor police–community relations in Cape Town and the subsequent establishment of a provincial commission of inquiry into the problem, a move that was opposed by the national government, contesting its constitutionality. Results from the Ombudsman’s first 18 months in operation are modest, but there are promising signs. Nonetheless, the office is small and it did not do itself any favours by not complying with its legally mandated reporting requirements.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the implementation of Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO) in Batangas Province, Philippines. The focus is on evaluating the level of EMPO implementation in terms of planning, execution, and review processes, while also identifying the challenges encountered in human resources, logistics, and community relations. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, involving 205 police personnel from various divisions across Batangas Province. The study revealed that the EMPO framework was “Highly Implemented” in the planning phase but only “Implemented” in terms of execution and review. Logistical issues, such as inadequate transportation and communication systems, were identified as the primary obstacles to effective operations. Additionally, human resource challenges, including uneven personnel distribution and insufficient training, were notable concerns. The study also highlighted the need for greater community involvement in police initiatives. Recommendations include enhancing logistical support, increasing training programs, and fostering stronger community-police relations to improve the overall effectiveness of EMPO.
