CPAM 2018 Conference : Next Generation Training, "C.O.P."

Speaker, Daphne Levenson, Next Generation Training

Community Orienting Policing -  It is not a division, or position, It is a philosophy, attitude, and way of life.

3 pillars of C.O.P.
-Organizational change
-Problem solving
-Partnerships

Points of observation:
-Challenge for law enforcement and the current situation - what do we need to do for change to occur?
-Did police cause all social problems? No why are we being asked to solve them.
-Division of powers- local government, courts, child services, Code Enforcement. All of these divisions must work with the local police for C.O.P. to be effective.

-The Good Ole days—technology has changed policing , what is the real role of 9-1-1? Has it become overused for incidents that are not emergency related, yes this is where the rest of the community services play a vital role.

-Changes in our society - technology and it’s impact on the neighborhoods, families, and the media. The media is about making money and influence, not educating. What makes money ? Racism, police brutality, fear of government, disasters, celebrities.

-Sir Robert Peel - Metropolitan Police Act of 1829, the start of the public campaign to improve public law. 
And today's challenge - Organizational change :
-Admit we can’t handle it all
-Share info
-Make a plan / ask for help
-Work on their problems
-Call them out

Law enforcement agrees to prepared for and consider:
-trying new things
-seeing things differently
-use of technology
-being flexible
-share transparency
-fail / win - celebrate

Use of technology - texting 9-1-1 , what systems are available in your community?
-Security cameras on businesses, *home video security systems.
 
Problem solving - 10% of the criminals cause 55% of all crimes.

“Fixing Broken Windows” -(Author's George L. Kelling and Catherine M. Coles ) book and research showed that if a community doesn’t take care of buildings, people, and the community there will be no change in reducing crime or people getting services that are needed to increase their well being.
