One societal trend in criminal justice regarding law enforcement is police building rapport and improving relations in the communities they serve. According to your textbook, “The real meaning of community-oriented policing for the police is being responsive to the community they serve” (Utecht, 2019, p. 143). For this first discussion, you will introduce yourself to your peers and describe an instance in which you have seen police building rapport and improving community relations.
Include the following in your initial post:
- Introduce yourself to your peers:
- Who are you, and what do you do? ( Name:Christopher and you can put anything for what I do)
- Why are you interested in criminal justice?
- Describe an instance in which you have seen police building rapport and improving community relations:
- This can be an instance that you read about in the news, saw on TV, or read online.
- Please focus on a public instance and refrain from sharing a personal example
- Provide background information regarding the incident. Address all aspects of what occurred: who, what, when, where, why, and how.
