Sir Robert Peel's Principles

Many guidelines for American ways came from England and Sir Robert Peel’s principles is a perfect example of that. Peel’s principles emphasize so much on the relations police ought to have with the public that it sounds almost identical to the philosophies of community policing. For example, community policing advocates dedicated problem solving to prevent crime. This goes perfectly by Sir Robert’s first principle,that states that police’s basic duty is to prevent crime and disorder. An effective way to achieve that first principle is to focus on solving issues. Community policing also implements that the police need to engage with the community, which goes right along with Peel’s principle that “the police must seek and preserve public favor.”
