Community policing or neighborhood policing is a policing strategy and philosophy based on the notion that community interaction and support can help control crime and reduce fear, with community members helping to identify suspects, detain vandals and bring problems to the attention of police.[1]
Police that use this method have found that this will help reduce crime and help to keep the public more safe than ever before. But danger is still present[citation needed]
