Multicultural Response Strategies Community Policing refers to a partnership between the local community and the police where both parties identify strategies that upon implementation will decrease crime rates, combat problems related to public safety and at the same time enhance traffic safety. Community policing is a main aspect in any discussion related to the immigrant populations as well as multicultural groups. Community policing services (COPS, Community-Oriented Policing) were made law under the administration of Clinton leading to the development of COPS office in the United States (Wilson and George, 2002).
