A dedicated Community Policing Division and specific community policing teams were established across the force area, each area having one or two dedicated community officers who hold regular community engagement meetings at which local priorities are determined, and actions to resolve problems are reviewed. This report combines the findings of two phases of research into the CEM. Phase one, an examination of police officers’ perceptions of the operation and impact of the community engagement model, was carried out between January and April 2011. Based on interviews with officers in two adjacent but contrasting case study areas (North East Fife and Levenmouth), this qualitative study provides an insight into officers’ perceptions of where and why the CEM is working well and identifies areas where they have concerns. Phase two, carried out between June and December 2011, sought to examine community perceptions of the operation and impact of their Community Engagement Model, again using Levenmouth and North East Fife as case study areas. The part of the report is based on largely qualitative data drawn from observations at 18 CEM meetings, semi‐structured interviews with 11 community participants, a self‐completion questionnaire for CEM meeting attendees (completed by 130 attendees) and analysis of attendance sheets for seven meetings in eight locations (56 meetings in total) and other Fife Constabulary data.
