What is C-Pop? (Community Patrol Officer Program)

The Community Patrol Officer Program is an effort by the Hampton City Police Department to assist local communities to deal more effectively with the problems of disorder and crime that adversely affect the quality of life experienced at the neighborhood level. As such, it is both a practical response to the needs of the people and a vehicle for adopting and spreading the principles of community and problem-solving policing throughout the agency.The following are common operational and organizational principles that are to be common throughout the program nationwide:

Continuous assignment of police units to specific neighborhoods or beats
Insistence that the unit develop and maintain a knowledge base regarding the problems, cultural characteristics and resources of the neighborhood
Emphasis on the importance of the units reaching out to neighborhood residents and business people to assure them of the presence and concern of the police
Use of formal or informal mechanisms to involve community people in identifying, analyzing and establishing priorities among local problems and in developing and implementing action plans for ameliorating them
Delegation to the community police unit of responsibility for fashioning solutions to the crime and order maintenance problems of the neighborhood, and for encouraging the commitment of a variety of police and non-police resources to those solutions;CPOP Problem Solving Guide
Emphasis on increasing information flow from the community to the police and on the use of that information by various elements of the police agency to make important arrests and to develop intelligence on illegal enterprises in the community
Sharing with representatives of the community accurate information on local crime problems and the results of on-going efforts to address them
