Community policing is about working with the community‚ earning their trust and respect‚ and solving problems rather than simply making arrests (Edge 79).

“You can beat her!” “Come on‚ don’t let her do that to you!” “Don’t let her beat you!” “She’s just a girl!” I hear always hear this. Heckling offends some people‚ but not me. I smile.

I do think that there are some inherent tensions between policing and democracy. I say this because policing is running in a way so that they are in power of the situation.

The first principle is that the main focus of the
