Chapter 4

Community Oriented Policing Practices

Finding 11

MPD does not hold all members of the Department accountable for engaging in community policy activities.

Please wait while we gather your results.

Recommendation 11.1

MPD should require command officers to define, in writing, the specific steps to be taken to identify and engage local community stakeholders in collaborative community policing efforts within their areas of command.

Recommendation 11.2

MPD should require every command officer responsible for any operational unit in the Department to complete a routine community policing status report.

Recommendation 11.3

MPD should incorporate community policing performance measures into their routine CompStat process.

Recommendation 11.4

MPD should provide training to supervisors and command staff on community policing for supervisors.

Recommendation 11.5

MPD should update the employee performance appraisal process to ensure that it includes (as appropriate) measurements of an employee's contributions to the strategic community policing goals, including positive police-community interaction and problem resolution.

Recommendation 11.6

MPD should publish an annual review of progress towards community policing goals and objectives.

Recommendation 11.7

MPD should update the promotional testing procedures for supervisors and command officers to include questions and activities testing a candidate's ability to lead and direct community policing efforts.

Recommendation 11.3

MPD should incorporate community policing performance measures into their routine CompStat process.

Future:

MPD will be participating in a CompStat 2.0 project through the Vera Institute of Justice. 

CompStat 2.0 seeks to “develop an expanded approach to traditional CompStat models that will enable law enforcement and communities to work together to not only reduce crime and violence, but to address the contemporary conditions that lead to these problems, and to do so in a non-punitive way that is supportive of officers, commanders and the community.”  CompStat 2.0 expands metrics used in CompStat to include data central to the success of community policing, including data related to satisfaction, procedural justice, problem-oriented policing, complaints and use of force. These expanded metrics can assist in reducing and/or preventing crime and enhancing legitimacy.
