As can be expected, the federative organisation of such states as Germany, Switzerland, the USA, India and Russia will be reflected in their police organisation, though the extremely decentralised approach of Switzerland with hardly any central man- agement structures can hardly serve as a paradigm of ‘the’ federal police organisation.

  • Manual on Community Oriented Policing System
    MANUAL ON COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SYSTEM PNPM-DS-8-95 CHAPTER I UNDERSTANDING COPS Introduction The police role in society has increasingly become a significant issue in contemporary policing. The police begin to encompass a greater function considering the complexity of the social problems and enormity of issues confronting peace and security. Public expectations and organizational concerns demand innovative approaches to policing. Criticisms from various sectors require police organization to assess current practices and functions and align them with the needs and values of the community. Global experiences, likewise, assert a shift in policing philosophy and operating style - from the traditional incident-driven to a problem-focused, community based approach. One of the major limitations of professional policing and its crime control policies is the failure of the police to elicit the full cooperation and participation of community residents, community organizations, and other agencies who share mutual responsibility for crime prevention. Today, police officials and community leaders have introduced innovative policies, strategies, programs, and schemes to remedy this shortcoming. Community policing or problem-oriented policing is the latest and most popular innovation in the police field in lieu of the traditional "911" approach. Progressive police organizations have realized that they have to accomplish more aside from responding to citizen complaints and emergencies by engaging in planned activities to prevent and reduce crime.
