The Jonesboro Police Department believes that Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies that support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime.
The Jonesboro Police Department will institute a system of allocating police officers to specific areas so that they become familiar with the local inhabitants:
= This will foster consistent communication between the community and law enforcement.
= This process will also bring in the viewpoints of the public.
