What does COPPS stand for?

Community-Oriented Policing and Problem Solving
Coordinate of Police and Public Services
Council of Police Policy and Standards
Community Outreach Police and Public Safety

The correct answer is: Community-Oriented Policing and Problem Solving

COPPS stands for Community-Oriented Policing and Problem Solving. This approach to law enforcement involves actively involving the community in identifying and addressing the problems and issues affecting their neighborhood. This strategy helps build trust and partnerships between police and citizens, leading to more effective crime prevention and community safety measures. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the concept and principles of Community-Oriented Policing. Option B mentions "Coordinate of Police and Public Services," which does not include the community as an active participant. Option C mentions "Council of Police Policy and Standards," which is a general term and does not specify the focus on community-oriented strategies. Option D mentions "Community Outreach Police and Public Safety," which is a narrow interpretation of the overall COPPS approach.
