This study examines the impact of community policing on fostering trust between law enforcement and the public. Through case studies and survey data, the research explores how community-based strategies, such as neighborhood patrols and public forums, contribute to positive perceptions of the police. Findings suggest that community policing not only improves public safety but also enhances collaboration and transparency, which are essential for long-term trust.
