Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques, to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime. The Community Policing Self-Assessment Tool (CP-SAT) is designed to assess three key areas in community policing: community partnerships, problem solving, and organizational transformation. The three key areas of community policing included in this tool are described below. COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS Collaborative partnerships between the law enforcement agency and the individuals and organizations they serve to develop solutions to problems and increase trust in police. PROBLEM SOLVING  The process of engaging in the proactive and systematic examination of identified problems to develop effective responses that are evaluated rigorously. ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSFORMATION  The alignment of organizational management, structure, personnel, and information systems to support community partnerships and proactive problem-solving. Unless otherwise noted, all questions follow the same format. Specifically, a statement is presented, and for each statement you will indicate the extent to which you agree with the statement by selecting the appropriate response, using the scale presented below.    1 = Strongly disagree 2 = Disagree   3 = Neither disagree nor agree 4 = Agree 5 = Strongly agree   We also want to remind you that this survey is completely anonymous and you may skip any items you do not feel comfortable answering, but we encourage you to respond to as many survey items as possible.
