Working Together to Promote Public Safety

There are a variety of strategies that can guide a police department in its efforts to prevent crime and promote public safety. Some of these strategies may be more effective for a given community than others. To help you better understand the range of strategies that police departments can use, we've created a discussion guide that reviews three key approaches.

  • Improve police procedures for solving serious crime
  • Do sweat the small stuff
  • Partner with the community to fight crime
