(NAPSA)—Police offi -
cers today face very differ-
ent challenges than a decade
ago. Social media and an in-
crease in overall visibility of
offi cers’ actions place them
under increased scrutiny, and
may have fueled disconnect
between law enforcement
and the communities they
protect. According to a Gal-
lup survey, only 58 percent
of whites and 29 percent of
African Americans trust po-
lice offi cers, up slightly from
the lowest point it reached in
2015. Recent incidents with
minorities and limited com-
munity presence may con-
tribute to the lack of trust.
Understanding the ef-
forts police departments un-
dertake to prevent crime is
especially important as the
United States Congress in
2009 designated March as
National Criminal Justice
Month. The month is meant
to promote societal aware-
ness of the causes and conse-
quences of crime and better
help civilians understand the
strategies to prevent and re-
spond to it. Many experts be-
lieve a return to community-
oriented policing (COP) and
an emphasis on soft skills
for offi cers could help police
departments make strides to-
ward rebuilding community
trust.
Daniel Barry is one
expert, who says police de-
partments need to make a
shift in philosophies. Barry
is the criminal justice chair
for the University of Phoe-
nix College of Security and
Criminal Justice Las Vegas
Campus and spent 30 years

Studies have shown that the
offi cers with higher educa-
tion degrees are less likely to
use force when making an ar-
rest than those without a de-
gree or only a GED. In fact,
offi cers with two- or four-
year degrees used physical or
verbal force 56 percent of the
time when making an arrest,
compared to 68 percent for
those with only a high school
education.
Moreover, police de-
partments should focus on
educating offi cers on tech-
nology and encouraging so-
cial media use. According to
a Pew Research survey, 44
percent of offi cers rated their
agencies use of social media
as “fair,” and fewer than one
in 10 rated it as “excellent.”
Despite a lack of understand-
ing and budget cut restraints,
social media can be a help-
ful tool to enhance a depart-
ment’s reputation and quick-
ly spread information.
University of Phoenix
offers degrees and certifi -
cates that focus on security,
public administration and
criminal justice that teach the
necessary hard and soft skills
to pursue a career in criminal
justice. Students learn how
to make a difference in their
communities, protect people
and contribute to improving
society.

Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department. He and other
current and former Las Ve-
gas offi cers started the Police
Athletic League to help offi -
cers and youths form a bond
through sports. Barry says
initiatives like these go a
long way in improving com-
munity relations.
“People need to under-
stand that COP and soft skills
are a philosophy, not a style
of policing,” Barry said. “We
live in a more connected,
more exposed world. Police
departments need to embrace
efforts to be more involved
with the communities they
serve.”
Police departments are
in fact transitioning back to a
COP philosophy. Traditional
policing has historically tak-
en a reactionary approach,
responding to crime after it
occurs, which could make
individuals feel unsafe. With
COP, offi cers are proactively
engaged with community
members to address immedi-
ate concerns and stop crime
before it occurs. Programs
such as D.A.R.E. and bike
patrols were examples of
successful past COP initia-
tives. Today, COP initiatives
include expanding social me-
dia presence and becoming
more active in community
projects.
Soft skills and training
on how to best de-escalate a
situation are key focuses for
police departments. Much
like how offi cers are ex-
pected to undergo fi rearms
training, teaching soft skills
like interpersonal commu-
nication and critical think-
ing must also be prioritized.
