Abstract
Community policing (CP) is an innovative partnership between police and the people concerned. In this system, community attempts to manage and control public disorder and reduce inter-communal tensions along with police personnel. However, there are many constructions of its meaning, each informed by different philosophical underpinnings. This paper highlights the effective policing process which is greatly facilitated by good local community participation in policing matters. The paper specially focuses on the conflict prone zones of Assam in India's North East, and the flagship programme of Assam Police in the lines of community policing, ‘PRAHARI’ and its role towards crime control, order maintenance, public safety and most importantly promoting peace and harmony in the society. The author feels the need to nurture such initiatives for a better future.
