Summary
"In September 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) awarded funding to the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) to assess an innovative approach to public safety developed by the Rockland County, New York, District Attorney’s Office (RCDAO) and explore its implementation in other jurisdictions in partnership with local criminal justice agencies and the community. Rockland County’s innovative approach, known as Intelligence-Led Community Policing, Community Prosecution, and Community Partnerships (IL3CP), synthesizes the philosophies of community policing, intelligence-led policing, and community prosecution into a single model that connects the criminal justice system and the community through seamless communication and partnerships. The IACP worked with police departments and prosecutors’ offices in Mesa, Arizona; Newport News, Virginia; and Saint Paul, Minnesota over a 12-month period to implement and assess the IL3CP model in each city. Given the preliminary nature of these implementations, efforts were targeted to particular high crime areas in each city, as opposed to the jurisdiction-wide approach used in Rockland County."--Executive summary.
