To commemorate the 30th anniversary of its establishment, the COPS Office invited community members and leaders in law enforcement, public safety research and civil rights to contemplate the next 30 years in American policing. This publication collects essays by a variety of contributors from all ranks of law enforcement as well as researchers and civic and civil rights leaders, all of whom touched on one or more principles of community policing – organizational change, problem solving or partnerships – and present varied, but ultimately optimistic, predictions for the future. As we reflect on 30 years of COPS Office work and influence, we are encouraged by where law enforcement is headed and eager to continue to support the field and the communities they serve.
