Community Policing

The Mandi Bahauddin Police Department strongly embraces the philosophy of Community Policing in all its daily operations and functions. Community Policing is based upon a partnership between the Police and the community whereby the Police and the community share responsibility for identifying, reducing, eliminating and preventing problems that impact community safety and order. By working together, the Police and the community can reduce the fear and incidence of crime and improve the quality of life in neighborhoods citywide. In this effort, the community and Police work as partners to identify and prioritize problems of crime and disorder and share the responsibility for the development and implementation of proactive problem-solving strategies to address identified issues. The strategies used proved to be successful because they mobilize the efforts and resources of the Police, the community and local government.
