Traditional Policing Police Response

270 Words2 Pages
Because of the failure of traditional law enforcement methods, it lead to community policing. "Community policing advocates argue that traditional policing is a system of response, that is the police respond to calls for services after the activity occurs" (Swanson, Territo, & Taylor, 2012, p. 51). Because of traditional policing police response is reactive and incident driven. Traditional policing did not work with the community as much. Since police response to calls after a crime happens, then there has to have a routine patrol, fast response rate to calls, arrests, and even follow ups (Scheider, n.d). Scheider (n.d) stated that the community policing is calling for these aspects to be more focus on proactive and prevention of crime/ disorder.
