Community Policing has gone much further than being a traditional police – community relations progamme, and has attempted to address crime control through a working partnership with the community. Community Institutions e.g., Families, Media, Educational Institutions, Social and Non-Governmental Organizations, Neighborhood Associations are believed to be key partners with the police & their views have greater status under community policing.

Things however seem to be changing in the last few decades and are still in the process of undergoing more changes. Police, all over, have developed ways and means to convince people that they are not the ones to be feared upon and that they can be approached at any given time when in distress.
