Community Policing Philosophy
UPD will play a vital role in the students' learning and living at 妻友社区 utilizing the community policing philosophy. The focus of community-oriented policing is not simply on responding to crime, but on preventing crime and resolving community problems. The philosophy grows from the belief that the police and the community must work together as partners to solve the contemporary challenges faced in today鈥檚 society. Officers work closely with other organizations and community groups to educate community members about potential hazards they may encounter and how to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of crime; identify the problems, concerns, and fears of community members; identify and eliminate hazards that may promote crime or disorder; and improve the overall quality of life in the community.
