Title: Engagement-Based Policing: The What, How, and Why of Community Engagement

Summary: In this year's project on community engagement, the MCCA HRC presents a report on a research program, Tact, Tactics, and Trust (T3) within our practitioner's study. These are offered for your consideration in "Building The Foundations For Engagement-Based Policing" in your agency. The first section is an Introduction (p.7) with some definitions of community engagement and trust along with some considerations from an excellent community engager from Virginia Beach Police Department. The next section (p.16) is based on a DARPA funded research project that led to the development of a program named "Good Stranger." This DARPA project was commissioned because the "military has struggled in recent years with how to create order and peace in unstable social environments weakened by violence, conflict, and mistrust." The following 6 sections (pp.30-76) include studies done and the perspectives of representatives from our MCCA members (Fairfax County, Philadelphia, Montgomery County, Toronto, Las Vegas, and Virginia Beach). These sections also provide information on some of their departments' programs to address engagement in Community-Based Policing. The next section on "Measurement of Engagement and Trust" (p.61) gives rationale on methods of measuring engagement and trust, and some coming attractions on other processes that are in the research phase now. This is an important section because agencies should determine if their programs have the intended outcomes. The appendix section (pp.68-122) includes a number of additional resources. Our view is that many of these documents may be very useful in your agencies' work on policies, procedures, training and education to formulate your strategy to "build a foundation for engagement-based policing."

Title: Training the 21st Century Police Officer: Redefining Police Professionalism for the Los Angeles Police Department

Summary: On June 15, 2001, the City of Los Angeles signed a consent decree with the United States Department of Justice. The consent decree is essentially a settlement agreement that aims to promote police integrity and prevent conduct that deprives persons of rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. This study is the result of the mandate of one paragraph that requires an independent examination of police training in the areas of use of force, search and seizure, arrest procedures, community policing, and diversity awareness. The authors suggest that the first essential step to improving police training is to establish and communicate a common foundation for police performance - a redefined professionalism. The overarching recommendation is that the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) adopt a concept of police professionalism that incorporates the tenets of corporateness, responsibility, and expertise as the mechanism for guiding the development and execution of its training, to include training in the areas of use of force, search and seizure, arrest procedures, community policing, and diversity awareness. The five primary recommendations are Establish an LAPD lessons-learned program. Introduce and maintain consistently high quality throughout every aspect of LAPD training. Restructure the LAPD Training Group to allow the centralization of planning; instructor qualification, evaluation, and retention; and more efficient use of resources. Integrate elements of community-based policing and diversity awareness training models throughout LAPD training. Develop training on use of force, search and seizure, and arrest procedures that meets current standards of excellence.
