Using Community Policing to Counter Violent Extremism: 5 Key Principles for Law Enforcement
Community policing has been a prevailing approach to public safety for the past three decades. Community policing’s approach emphasizes proactive and preventive policing and has been applied to a diverse array of public safety concerns. The same community policing strategies and principles that have helped improve public safety and reduce crime and social disorder are now being leveraged to counter terrorism and prevent violent extremism. Using Community Policing to Counter Violent Extremism: 5 Key Principles for Law Enforcement addresses five key principles of community policing applied to homeland security concerns and provides practical examples from law enforcement agencies implementing community policing approaches to counter violent extremism.

Department Reform |
Complaints Against Police Down Sharply, Baltimore Leaders Say
Baltimore’s mayor and police commissioner recently stated that one year after the police department began the implementation of a broad reform plan, complaints against officers have fallen sharply, along with a drop in crime. Implementation of this plan began in late November 2013, and suggestions identified in the plan included increasing foot patrols, creating a board to review officers’ uses of force, improving training, and using a policing model for “taking back” public spaces.

Crime Reduction |
Reducing Violence and Crime on Our Streets
Many communities in the United States are confronted by high levels of crime and violence. A disproportionate amount of this violence is the result of young males killing other young males; homicide is the second-leading cause of death for all young males 15 to 24 years old. The Reducing Violence and Crime on Our Streets guide was developed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and provides an action agenda to assist law enforcement leadership, their agencies, and the communities they serve in crime reduction efforts.

Controlled Unclassified Information |
Government Plans to Simplify Labeling of Sensitive Information
A proposed rule is expected to be introduced by the President to require agencies to stop the multiple classification markings for sensitive data (such as Sensitive but Unclassified, Law Enforcement Sensitive, and For Official Use Only). There are currently around 120 different designations, and next year, these labels will become “Controlled Unclassified Information,” according to the National Archives and Records Administration. The proposed regulation is expected to be introduced by March 2015.
The article is available at http://ise.gov/news/no-more-fouo-government-plans-simplify-labeling-sensitive-information.
