COP embraces two key policing strategies: Response to Incidents (R2I) and Problem Oriented Policing (POP).

32. Community Oriented Policing Philosophy COP balances the use of these two strategies through careful, continuous analysis of activity patterns that permit a different police response to different community needs. COP requires the professional commitment and creative involvement of every member of the police department, associated public and private agencies and members of the community.

33. Community Oriented Policing Philosophy COP recognizes that, regardless of a person's socioeconomic status, race, national origin, language, age or religion, each person has a right to high quality police services. COP also recognizes that crime and disorder are only part of the many issues that police have to deal with in a complex and dynamic city. COP is a philosophy by which all police services are provided to the community, including all the following fundamental police functions:
