Abstract

In this interview, Commissioner Brown describes the Community Patrol Officers Program -- a return to the days of the cop on the beat. This program requires a total change in the way the department is organized and operates. A cornerstone of community policing is empowering the workforce -- in this case, the patrol officers who are the backbone of the department. Brown also wants to involve the police more closely with their customers--the law-abiding citizens of New York''s neighborhoods-- and let the customers set the department''s priorities. Change requires Brown to articulate the department''s vision and its values, to alter the recruitment, hiring, training, and reward practices.
