Resumo

The cooperation of the public in Dubai is a key element to prevent crime. In simple terms, the police service would cease to function without the active support of the communities it serves. Evidence has shown that effective community engagement, targeted foot patrols and collaborative problem solving can significantly increase public confidence in policing activity.Policing by consent requires public support for policing activity at every level. The purpose of engagement, as well as the level at which people and communities are to be involved, should be clear. Community engagement produces two main benefits: improved decision- making and enhanced citizenship. The Dubai Police focuses primarily on the decision- making benefit of community engagement and increasing levels of trust, confidence and satisfaction with policing at the individual level. An initiative of community engagement is a critical component of any effective policing activities. It requires that various key players work closely to develop effective programs and initiatives to govern their operations. Effective engagement is more than organizing a meeting with community members. It is a rigorous process that demands sensitivity and careful planning and execution. Since 2000 Dubai Police has been working in different programs to increase the community engagement.
