<![CDATA[The traditional concept of police has created an image that
police has not seen community as major partner in policing.
Therefore, community policing approach is formulated.
Community policing tries to control crime using preventive
approach, which proactively done by good partnership
between the police and the community. It does not depend on
modern technology, machines and knowledge based anymore.
The concept of community policing has shown that networking
between humans is a source to control crime. Community
policing as a philosophy, actually has already implemented in
everyday life because that what citizen desired. This is why
the establishment of FKPM has greatly welcomed by the
community. From the observation in many local regions, the
establishment of FKPM has been given great support from the
community by providing facilities and infrastructure for
FKPM such as meeting venue and office secretariat. Another
indicator to the successfulness of FKPM is the growing of
social capital in the community which was once destroyed
because of the intervention of government policy in the “Orde
baru” regime.
