Community Policing

Last class we began with a discussion as to what is community policing. How does it differ from the traditional role of policing in our society. Instead of researching what community policing entails, what the class is going to do is work on a project that will show you what community policing does in our community.

Your goal in this project is to research one concern that you feel is problematic to your community here in Maple Ridge and come up with solutions to how to solve this issue.

In your research include:

-       Why this issue is a concern…what harm is being done.

-       Who is this affecting….what is the result

-       Who are the culprits

-       What can be done to stop this concern

-       Is there any group already trying to help alleviate these concerns

-       How have other communities dealt with similar issues

On Tuesday, we will be having three RCMP officers coming into class to discuss community policing and the mental health act with you.

Make sure you have questions pertaining to your project.
