Jointness with the public – The Community Policing
Reform (1980-2000):
1
The citizen & the policeman at the center
2TECI
• "Community policing Reform" (CP) is the only Police Reform born
outside the police. All the other reforms were focused on
effectiveness & efficiency;
• Maybe that's why many police officers hate CP, & in many countries,
it implemented only at the a declarations level.
• CP was created in the US in order to deal with the alienation
between the police and the public, and because the Police lost
control of the streets after the “Due Process Revolution” after it
existing tools became irrelevant.
3TECI
• The CP Purpose (1): A Social service that redesigns the
community & motivate it “to keep the streets clean”
instead of focusing on catching criminals.
• The CP Purpose (2): Changing the police’s culture and
doctrine. This means a different distribution of
organizational power.
4TECI
Police is one of the most important national security organizations
• Most countries suffer mostly from Internal national
security problems, & not from external enemies!
• Some of them are problems of: Homeland Security;
Multicultural Society; Organizational Crime, Money
Laundering; Government Corruption; etc.

Police Reforms

In order to understand The Community Policing Reform, we will review the major reforms in policing, prepared the police to the 21st century’s challenge
6TECI
Since the establishment of the first uniformed police in London on 1829, there were six reforms in policing:
• They all were created in the United States;
• Most of them were created inside the police force, in order to adapt to a changing reality, & to become more effective and more efficient.
7TECI
Six Police Reforms:
• The Progressive Reform (The twenties of the twentieth
century);
• The professional reform in US Police: 1930-1980;
• The Community Policing Reform (1980-2000);
• “The New York Model" (1994-2000);
• The Homeland Security Reform (2000-2005);
• “The Technological reform" from 2005
8TECI
1. The Progressive Reform in US Police (The twenties of the twentieth century):
• Leadership; • No politics; • Improving the quality of
human resources; • Practice; • Effectiveness and efficiency.
August Vollmer, the Chief of Berkeley, California Police, 1907-1932
9TECI
2. The professional reform in US Police: 1930-1980
• Policing as a profession;
• Elevation of HR;
• Practice; • Academization; • Machinery.
10TECI
3. The Community Policing Reform (1980-2000)
We will talk about it soon!
11TECI
4. “The New York Model": Rudolph Giuliani & William Bratton (1994-2000)
12TECI
• "Zero tolerance"; • Compstat; • The beginning of the
technological revolution.
• They wrote books how to download crime and became a legend in the Western world.
• However, the truth is that crime is going down all over the US for 25 years…
13TECI
“Hot Spots”
• Computerized techniques of mapping crime and identifying “Hot
Spots”.
• Formulating a strategic police response to those “hot spots”.
• Research shows that using “Hot Spots” can reduce crime in both the
hot spot and surrounding areas.
14TECI
• Accountability;
• Reliability;
• Measurement.
Crime dataPersonal data & pictures
15TECI
For example:
• The order was: “No beggars in the streets”!
• The Precinct Chief declares: “No beggars in my territory”
• Behind him, a beggar's picture was projected, taken in
his Precinct the same morning.
• The Precinct Chief was deposed in front of everyone.
16TECI
The Significance:
• Giuliani & Bratton won bureaucracy by establishing a
direct connection to the Precinct Chiefs in the field.
• Reducing hierarchies made the police more flexible!
17TECI
The end of the story:
• Bratton was dismissed by
Giuliani when he became too
popular and famous.
• He became the Commissioner
of Los Angeles Police
Department (LAPD) (2002–
2009).
• Crime continued to fall...
18TECI
5. The Homeland Security Reform (2000-2005)
Reality is accelerating!
• Homeland Security is part of police duties;
• Two sets of lows in parallel
19TECI
6. “The Technological reform" from 2005
It is a collection of technological revolutions, occurring in various areas all the time
From “Hot Spots” to “Predictive Policing”
20TECI
“The Technological reform"
• Cameras al over the city;
• Mobile Phones enable us to locate people, even in
retrospect;
• Surveillance and listening to suspects are made relatively
easily;
• Dependency on human resources among offenders has
significantly diminished;
• Forensics has become a very important partner in the
criminal investigation.
21TECI
Network analysis tells us almost everything about an organizations: power, influence, "bottlenecks", collaboration, strengths, weaknesses, etc.
22TECI
We can identify "Telnets" in a criminal organization, "and take him out of the game" on time!
23TECI
We know who to "crack“, in order to drag his organization into chaos
“Bottle Neck”
24TECI
From Hot Spots to Predictive Policing• The latest item on policing: Locating the development of
patterns in crime networks, allows us to predict where
and when crime will occur tomorrow.
Predictive Policing:13% reduction in crime in California!
25TECI
Lets go back to Community PolicingWorking with the community for its quality of life
26TECI
The original British police never needed a community policing reform. It was always community oriented!
The police officer Character in Mary Poppins (14:08)
27TECI
In the UK, citizens expect police officers even today, to be substitute parents and marriage counselors ...
28TECI
But in the empire, A problematic model of the imperial police developed!
29TECI
Israeli police began to engage in community policing, for security reasons, ten years before the Western world.
We will discussed that in details, tomorrow.
30TECI
The Broken Windows Theory
• The theory was introduced
in a 1982 article (March) by
social scientists James Q.
Wilson and George L.
Kelling.
• in an article titled "Broken
Windows" which appeared
in the The Atlantic Monthly.
31TECI
The main idea: neglect encourages crime and vice versa
Fear of crime is worse than crime itself.
32TECI
The Basic Concept
• Crime is everyone's business. Not only, of the police;
• Anyway, the police has no control over crime factors.
33TECI
This is the key issue!
If the police does not affect crime, then what's the point in creating more & more effectiveness and efficiency reforms?
34TECI
This argument is true
35TECI
Every year police objectives are to reduce
crime statistics. Is it really up to them?
36TECI
Good police work
Crime drops
The relationship between crime results & police work is not linear;
increasing crime
Bad police work
37TECI
This is Brigadier General Avi Noyman from the Israel Police
• I asked him to prepare his final thesis on INDC about the
"luck contribution to police work"
• The Commissioner was very angry and said that police
work is the result of hard work, and not luck!
38TECI
So, I asked him to change the word Luck to Uncertainty…
• Noyman analyzed six
episodes of organized crime
and serious murders.
• His main conclusion:
Uncertainty is a major factor
in the success and failure of
police work!
39TECI
The Police officer as a Public Servant• All the police services
are concentrated in
one place: The
service center.
• Measurement of
waiting times and
response to phone
calls.
40TECI
Problem Oriented Policing
Fundamental solutions to problems
41TECI
Problem Oriented Policing
• For years, police focused on the “means”
of policing rather than its “ends”.
• Police officers are measured in their
ability to detect problems in the
community and take care of them once
and for all, rather than treat the
symptoms repeatedly.
• That’s why they should be much more
important then their officers!
professor Herman
Goldstein
42TECI
So police objectives must be determined separately based on problems in the field
It does not make
sense that all police
stations will work on
the same goals!
43TECI
Encouraging independence and creativity of the police officers in the street
44TECI
Jointness
• Jointness of all the agencies that work in the community
and all government offices to resolve problems
45TECI
“This is the difference between "cleaning trash" and "maintaining a clean city"
Ra'anana Mayor Zeev Bielski
46TECI
Consider an intelligence officer claiming that his city is cleared from drugs, and therefore, he decreased arrests...
Do the police have a genuine interest to reduce crime?
47TECI
The new approach: police as a social service
• Enforcement is only a small part of policing;
• 85% of the public applications have nothing to do with enforcement.
• Only 5-10% of the police officer time goes on enforcement.
• The law enforcement system cannot be overloaded.
48TECI
Social work as a model
Problem: The police do not want to be social
workers!
49TECI
CP adopted “The customer-based approach“ from the business field
We are the customer servants & we measure effectiveness by customer satisfaction!
50TECI
Remember self organization?
• Redesign community means to create self-organization
& accelerate it!
• It can be accelerated by an internal or external catalyst.
51TECI51
A neighborhood resident who maintains intensive activities to improve the quality of life, and draws the rest of the population;
internal catalyst
52TECI
A neighborhood cop who organize the residents against the presence of criminal activity in their neighborhood
External catalyst
53TECI
The lesson from Henry Ford & the “Ford T”
Ford lost the market when he refused to produce vehicles in a variety of colors!
54TECI
On the other hand, the Japanese took control of the American car market
After reviewing studies about what consumers want
• Electric windows
• Heating seats • etc.
55TECI
This means changing the organizational culture
56TECI
Strategies
57TECI
Environmental Care has become a scientific field
• For example, they found
that in public parks,
playing classical music
and lowering the bushes
are an effective treatment
against criminals!
58TECI
The Means: Zero Tolerance
If there is no control over the factors of crime, the police should focus on the symptoms
59TECI
Strict enforcement of minor offences
60TECI
“Educating” the population by the by "McDonald's Way“:A 50%-50% partnership – Police - Community
61TECI
For example, the Sappers police Unit• People warns the Police about suspicious objects in the
streets.
• The Police takes care of them!
62TECI
The use of volunteers by the police is a classic community strategy in many police organizations, all over the worldWe will deal with it separately, in the next lecture
63TECI
"Community policing" is an "ectopic pregnancy"! It was born outside the Police
After that, the police returned to the familiar pattern of effectiveness and efficiency reforms!
64TECI
It was "born" at Harvard University
It is based on fundamental values , philosophy, world view, and a new corporate strategy that is very different from the police world!
65TECI
It was as if they invented the police again, by what the public wants!
66TECI
… and the public loves it!
… but police officers hate it! They prefer to consider
themselves as “Rambo”s, that protect the city (While
other people just get in the way ...)
67TECI
Unlike other police reforms, it got a very partial success, to say the least
It absorbed as a leading perception policing, only in a few countries, mainly in Canada
68TECI
It’s main success is declarative
Many claim they are implementing community policing, because of federal funding and the fear from the public ...
But very few really understand what
community policing is!
69TECI
So why it was adopted?
Because in
that time,
police did not
have any other
effective tool!
70TECI
Background: “The Due Process Revolution" in the 60’
• The duty to every suspect his rights; • The duty to give legal advice to any
offender; • Admissible evidence are “poisoned
fruit”.
The result: The police lost control of the street ...
71TECI
Serious scandals of corruption, especially in NYPD, were “exploded"
The main problem was the police’sorganizational culture
72TECI
• “Police Lies”
• “Blue Lies”
73TECI
1971: The Knapp Commission on NYPD Corruption
Separation between “Meat
Eaters" - police officers who
committed the acts of
corruption; & the "Grass
Eaters" those who did not
report on them.
According to the Commission,
"Grass Eaters" are more
dangerous!
74TECI
The result: Police confusion, corruption & an increasing use of force
75TECI
Systems are clogged
• Over-occupancy of prisons and detention centers;
• No ability to initiate. Cops only “turn off fires”...
76TECI
It was hard to be a cop in the U.S. in the 60s and 70s ...
"Those who were not involved in policing during the sixties and early seventies, have difficulty imagining the isolation, humiliation and the feel, almost on the edge of paranoia, of being under threat ..."(Trojanowicz & Bucqeroux, 1990)
White & Alienated police
77TECI
Stop, I’m one of you…(1:15)
78TECI
A dramatic increase in crime (70th to 80th)
• Empty city centers;
• Police lost control of the street;
• Alienation between the police and civilians
79TECI
2000: : community policing was fading all over the western world
From a leading strategy to one of many areas of activity…But, commanders continue to declare that they are implementing community policing…
80TECI
CP left many questions unanswered (1)
• What is Community? • What “sharing” or “involvement” really means?? • Can we really redesign the community?• Is it possible to motivate any public? • Who represents the community? • Is it even desirable that the police will intervene
in the community?
81TECI
CP left many questions unanswered (2)
• Do community occupations damage law enforcement work?
• Did the police have real intentions, or is it only a way to improve its performance at the expense of the citizens, as an alternative to the reduction of resources and lack of access to certain areas?
82TECI
Why police officers hate CP?
83TECI
1. CP challenged the basic assumptions of London Police
according to which, the responsibility for order and security lies in the hands of police staff on a regular basis.
84TECI
2. CP has created a revolution in the distribution of the police power
Traditionally, the power is in the hands of investigations and detectives!
85TECI
3. Problems of identity: social workers in uniform
Who wants to be a social worker?
86TECI
4. The fear of the rank officers to lose control over the police officers in the field
87TECI
Who really won CP?
88TECI
What do we have left from CP in Israel?
89TECI
The Israel Police declared three challenges concerning Jointness:
• Jointness between the police
& all the other agencies
working in the community;
• Redesigning community;
• Jointness inside the police in
order to increase police
effectiveness.
90TECI
Since the late nineties of the last century, IP become the leading factor in Jointness among other agencies in the public service
Israel Police has been very successful with the first goal
91TECI
Give a task to a police commander and he will immediately looks for partners in his task-environment
92TECI
This is very different from other Police Organizations, & it becomes a part of its culture!
The more IP cooperates, the less it suffers from criticism and enjoys the results more!
93TECI
Israel Police is a haunted organizing by the public and the media
Commanders consider
Jointness as an
excellent tool for
reducing criticism & as
a way to achieve
other resources to
handle their tasks
94TECI
IP never really tried to redesign the community
95TECI
But it invests a lot attempting to approach alienated population groups - mainly Arabs and ultra-Orthodox
96TECI
Dealing with Jointness inside the police started only this year,
After an effective way to measure cooperation between units was found
97TECI
I hope I was helpful
!
