personnel or unites supervised by a
particular commander.

15 patrol beats were divided into 3 groups of 5
each
1st group: No routine patrol, only answered calls
2nd group: Normal routine patrols and calls
3rd group: 2 to 3 times the amount of police in
routine patrols and answering calls.
* After a year, they collected data on arrests,
crime, victims’ perceptions, attitudes of business
owners

Citizens did not notice the difference in the
frequency of the patrol change.
Level of the fear of crime remained the same
There was no difference in the amount of crime
that occurred across all 3 groups.
The satisfaction with police did not change at all.
History helps shape policing styles,
how agencies see their purpose, and
choose to fulfill it.
There are three basic policing styles:
1. Watchman
2. Legalistic
3. Service

The watchman style of policing are
typically in lower- or lower-middle class
areas that have a lot of crime.
This style is marked by:
 Order maintenance
 Controlling illegal and disruptive behavior
 Considerable use of discretion

Legalistic style police departments are
committed to enforcing the letter of the law
and take a “laissez faire” stance on behaviors
that are simply bothersome.

Service style police departments strive to
meet community needs. They are:
 Concerned with helping rather than strictly
enforcing the laws.
 More likely to supplement law enforcement
activities with community resources.
 Popular today.

The Police-Community Relations (PCR)
movement began in the 1960s and 1970s. This
movement recognizes the need for the police
and the community to work together.
Consistent with this movement are:
Store-front auxiliary police offices
Neighborhood watch
Drug awareness programs
Project ID

Team policing is an extension of the PCR
movement.
With team policing, conventional patrol
strategies are reorganized and police
teams are assigned to fixed districts.
 Police become more familiar with the
people of their districts and their
problems and concerns.

Consistent with service policing,
community policing emphasizes the idea
that police must partner with the
community to help fulfill the community
needs.
Police actively work with citizens and with
social services to help solve problems.

Community policing involves at least one
of four elements:
1. Community-based crime prevention
2. Reorientation of patrol activities to
emphasize nonemergency services
3. Increased police accountability to the public
4. A decentralization of command, including
greater use of civilians at all levels of police
decision making
