a. Suggest two ways how a local community may cooperate with the police to maintain law and order. b. Explain fully why each method or strategy will be successful​

1. Volunteer: Citizen volunteers help supplement and support officers and civilian personnel in many ways.
Roles for volunteers may include: performing clerical tasks, assisting with search and rescue activities, writing citations for accessible parking violations, code. enforcement, patrolling to provide additional police visibility, reporting graffiti and other quality of life issues, and helping with property and equipment inventories.
By volunteering to do all these, the community is helping the police to maintain peace and order.

2. Collaboration between the police and community: Personal interactions between police officers and community members build mutual trust, which is essential to addressing neighborhood problems and reducing crime. Programs and initiatives to foster these interactions include:
1. Adult and youth police academies
2. Ride-alongs with officers
3. Police involvement in local school activities, and
4. Police participation in (or police-led) community events.

Police officials should see themselves as a part of the community they serve, and local government officials, police leaders, and community members should encourage the active involvement of officers as participants to help maintain the peace. For example, police officials may be invited to participate in peace marches etc.
