Significance of Community Policing in Bridging Police and People: Bangladesh Context (original) (raw)
Bangladesh police is the prime organization for maintaining social security and peace. But due to limitations, they face difficulties in addressing social security problems without cooperation from the community people. Community policing, in this regard, is a potentially efficient mechanism for ensuring social security. It is a participative model of policing in which common people work jointly with police to prevent crime and improve security. Realizing its importance, Bangladesh police have introduced this participative model of policing. On this backdrop, this study aims to review the concept of community policing, to explore the state of community policing in Bangladesh and to assess the significance of community policing in bridging police and community people. It is a descriptive type of qualitative research which is mainly based on secondary information collected from secondary sources. This study concludes with the assumption that, as a partnership for change, community policing has a great significance in establishing social security peace and stability, building mutual trust between police and people as well as in combating extremism and militancy.
