Community policing is a philosophy and a tool that refers to law enforcement agencies working in close collaboration with citizens. It differs from the traditional reactive model where police respond to crimes and conflicts, with citizens being generally passive. The emphasis in community policing is on proactive partnership between the local citizens and law enforcers. The degree of this alliance differs at different places with varied rates of success. This chapter studies three models of community policing in nations at different levels of their development. Citizens’ partnership with police in the city of Minneapolis, United States, pertains to a rich and developed democracy that may however not be inclusive. While an experiment of youth–police collaboration in the city of Pune in India, discussed in detail in this chapter, echoes a developing country with a relatively young democracy and general distrust of police. Involving women to pursue justice for women through a formal initiative of the state of Maharashtra is also discussed in brief. The third model of community police initiative in the Republic of Uganda, with a past history of violent conflicts, is placed in this backdrop. This chapter explores the collaboration between the police and community of the three countries and the common factors that emerge therein. It discusses that though community policing has acceptance across the globe, it is proving ineffective wherever the police are not inclusive, are unbiased or have failed to win over the community through honest, transparent and constitutional means.
