These changes may appear to some as superficial tinkering with the way the police perform their practical function, and indeed appear to be aimed at the delivery of street level policing. However, the effects of such changes may manifest themselves in a far more subtle manner surrounding the very philosophy of policing as understood since its modern inception. The unforeseen implications of such changes have the potential to store up challenges and problems for police leaders if not recognised and understood. Contemporary democratic policing normally claims its roots and legitimacy in the fact that it is supported by communities in the carrying out of their duties. Hence respect for and continued interaction with communities is vital support to allow the police to carry out their function. This is particularly so when discussing the democratic policing model.
