CPOP Community Policing in Practice
Overview
This 1988 publication is a laudatory report on the NYPD's Community Patrol Officer Program (CPOP), and seems directed towards a lay audience. It contains many anecdotes recounting the experiences of individual community patrol officers from the program. These anecdotes emphasize the positive impact the CPOP has on the precincts where it is implemented and on improvement in police-community relations.
