ABSTRACT. The new approach proposed to the work of a community police officer aims to introduce cooperation between the police and the people of community in order to create a safe social and cultural environment through various direct and indirect forms of influence on the level of legal culture. As it is generally recognized and prove , this approach of community police officer practice is built on the principles of constant communication, cooperation and trust between representatives of law enforcement agencies and community residents, which ensures crime prevention through increased legal awareness indicators and respect for the legal guidelines of society. Given the innovative approach to policing and the means and level of interaction, both residents and community officers must work together to build a safe environment.

Keywords: community-oriented policing, social safety, social value, social mission of the police, community policing.
