BACKGROUND & CONTEXT

Democratic countries have seen massive changes to policing over recent decades and Community Policing is one of them. Often referred to as a philosophy, the concept behind community policing is making communities interact with the local police to create that tunnel of dialogue which facilitates the identification and resolution of common problems through dialogue and cooperation. The Community Policing model has proved to be a very efficient tool to reduce fear of crime among community members since it first was introduced, as it operates in favor of preventing a crime from happening. Overall, community policing is about maintaining law and order by involving communities in the process of making communities safer.

In Jordan, the Public Security Directorate (PSD) is responsible for public security and policing. In 2006, a dedicated Community Policing Department (CPD) was established under the command of the Brigadier.  CPD representatives are attached to every police station across the 12 governorates in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Department are attached to every police station in the twelve Jordanian governorates.  Since its establishment, the CPD has been very active in community engagement and supporting mainstreaming of policing at a local level.
