Building Positive Relationships with Police
Improving relations between police and urban communities is part of the Violence Prevention Consortium's concerted effort to facilitate community-oriented policing in police departments and communities throughout Chicagoland.
​
The current relationship between urban youth and police has been described as negative by community and police leaders. Common problems in the relationship have included a lack of trust, racial and cultural differences, little or no contact, except through police responding to crime-related incidents, and high levels of anger, fear, and hostility between the two groups.
