Community Policing Internationally

Podcast

In this podcast, David Alpher, Washington Representative for Saferworld, discusses community policing in an international context.

The interview was conducted for the US Department of Justice’s Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) monthly podcast series. Although the COPS program usually focuses on domestic American issues, the addition of an international focus adds an important element to the critical discussion of the role of police and communities alike in producing deeper and more durable safety and security.

“We provide spaces for ongoing reflection and dialogue between the public and their security providers so that they can jointly identify security concerns and put the resources in play to meet common needs.”
