Sir Robert Peel’s Nine Principles:

The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder.

Who was Sir Robert Peel?

The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police actions.

5


Police must secure the willing co‐operation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public.

6

April 10, 2019

4


The degree of co‐operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force.

7


Police seek and preserve public favour not by catering to public opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law.

8

April 10, 2019

5


Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient.

9


Police should always direct their action strictly towards their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary.

10

April 10, 2019

6


The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.

11


Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full‐time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.

Community Policing Transition

Up to this point in history, community policing has been aboutthings police can, or should, do differently in order to achievethe goals of community safety.

In recent years, community policing has shifted its focus to what the rest of the community can do to achieve these goals – this is, community policing.1

Traditional Policing Community Policing

Police solely responsible Collaborative

Incident‐driven Risk‐driven

Reactive Proactive

Speedy response Timeliness of intervention

Investigative Supportive

Minimizing harms Preventing harms

Arrests and prosecutions Problem‐solving

Community Policing is the process by which police andother community members partner to improve communitywellbeing, safety and security through joint problemidentification, analysis, response and evaluation.

“Many crime and community safety issues emerge fromlocal, specific contexts and thus are rightfully ‘owned’ atthe community level. Communities experience crimeproblems first hand and thus have valuable knowledgethat may be critical to the success of an intervention.Moreover, the long term success and sustainability ofpositive changes are seen as inextricably linked to thelevel of community involvement and ownership ofstrategies.”‐ International Centre for the Prevention of Crime (2006)

• Risk Factors vs Protective Factors.

• What are the known risk factors?

• Who in the community is vulnerable to them?

• What protective factors can we install to protect those who are at risk?

Safety & Well‐Being FrameworkAny one single risk factor does not work in isolation to cause crime. Instead, research shows that “…the interaction and accumulation of risk factors increase the likelihood...” of delinquent or criminal behaviour “...not only because the effect of risk factors is cumulative, but also because they interact.”

Evidence shows that social development approaches are a cost effective means of reducing crime and victimization.

Research and current practices internationally, nationally and locally indicate that social development activities that target the risk factors of crime are the best way to address crime.

It is important to know what risk factors exist within a community and implement the appropriate protective factors to mitigate harm.
