Community Policing - Making it Work
Community Policing is an approach where the police and citizenry work together to improve law, order, traffic and crime situation. It is a partnership where community plays an active role in policing, raising alerts, sharing information, etc.
LocalCircles is evaluating with Government of India the enablement of circles at national, state, district and eventually at station levels such that the citizen and police get connected.
We would like to seek your inputs on how such a model can be of best use to improve policing, law, order, traffic and reduce crime.
We look forward to your inputs!

Social media, especially Facebook and Twitter are powerful platforms that can make Community Policing more effective. Bangalore Police and Mumbai police have started using these platforms. Every police station must have a social media cell that is functioning from 6am until midnight because patrolling during the night is enough and we don't need to waste resources unnecessarily. This will help the locals engage with the concerned police authorities and bridge the gap.

Community policing is good if properly implemented. I agree with the comments of Vijaykumar G.K.Naidu, Hyderabad

Forming Residential association at the local level is the first step . Members of the Community police should be selected from its members. It should act as a shadow police and being eye and ear of the the security agencies. Its identity should not be revealed among the residence members. The community police should be set up under central agencies.

Yes, As police have been found to be increasingly responsible so at this stage community policing can become meaningful. Common man should be able to provide information as objective as possible.

Community policing can be useful if community is able to post criminal activities, disorder, civic problems, police protection or police overlooking on a Web site which receives and responds to the reports submitted. Action Taken Report will only encourage people to participate. People can be under threat of criminals if their reporting is divulged to criminals and police joins them to harass the complainant. Such Whisle Blowing Policy can function if the blower is assured all protection. Normally police is interested in least FIR'S to avoid investigation. They have to file action reports. That is why they look for compromising formula by squeezing both the parties financially. And if the party is strong, it becomes a KAMDHENU for them to milch any time.
