<p>Community policing is one of the most well-known and influential police reform movements over the past half century. Most of the literature on community policing and its effects has emerged from a handful of large, industrialized democracies. Less is known about the nature and implementation of community policing in other contexts. Here, we explore a community policing initiative called <i>Hearts and Minds</i> that was developed and implemented in Trinidad and Tobago, a small two-island Caribbean nation that has experienced a significant problem with gang and gun violence over the past two decades. Based on data from interviews with Hearts and Minds officers, we examine efforts by Hearts and Minds officers to build trust and improve public perceptions of police legitimacy. We discuss the implications of this research for theory, research, and practice.</p>
