Community-Oriented Policing to Fight Terrorism

ntroductionWith this in mind, you researched and found that community cooperation and communication seemed to be the key in limiting local radicalization. If radicalization did occur, it was typically a community member or family member that came forward to thwart the act, not intelligence from outside sources. Disenfranchisement, lack of employment, and perceived oppression by the government or authorities can all play into the mix of radicalization in a community. A plan that can address these issues is what is needed.You believe that community-oriented policing (COP) may hold the key to the type of program your chief wants to implement. It addresses the current threat as well as concerns of the Muslim community in your city. COP is not without its detractors. Some scholars have pointed out that a COP program that only seeks to interact with the Muslim community is perceived as a cover for spying upon Muslims. You know that a true COP initiative will incorporate the entire city and that de-radicalization will just be a part of the whole program, not the only goal. You have decided to inform your chief about COP concepts, and how they relate to the establishment of communication to mitigate radicalization. You will also elaborate on how they foster goodwill between the police and the community.InstructionsSummarize the two core components of community-oriented policing.Correlate the two core components of community-oriented policing to combating the cause of homegrown radicalization.Number of references: 4–5 peer-reviewed, scholarly references.
