New York's experience

Article Abstract:

Community policing was more successful in New York City, NY, in comparison with its performance in Houston, TX. Community policing was introduced to New York as far back as Jun 1984 with the New York Police Department's Community Patrol Officer Program (CPOP). Former New York Police Commissioner Lee Brown simply widened the duties of the CPOP. Community policing was also fortunate to have the support of New York Mayor David N. Dinkins. However, there is still skepticism with regard to the longevity of community policing in New York.
