“Community Joining Hands” aims to create a safe and secure environment by encouraging open communication and collaboration between the police department and residents, including local agencies and resources to reduce antisocial behavior and low-level crimes, however, it can reduce serious crimes as well. The main objective of this program is to empower the community by involving them in the problem-solving process. By working hand in hand with citizens, the police department can better understand local issues and find effective solutions together.
