Community Intelligence and Counter Terrorism

What is it about?

Neighbourhood policing is often considered by those responsible for policing to be a soft option, carried out by a few select police officers and police community support officers located in small geographical areas, and is not considered by many to be real policing. This article attempts to dispel this misconception, by suggesting that neighbourhood policing (as originally intended) is a style of policing undertaken by all police officers and staff to identify, action and resolve problems within communities, including virtual and non-traditional communities. Problems within this context would also include more serious crimes and disorders, such as terrorism.
