Police use 'Community Oriented Policing' to create entire communities of spies!

With the help of religious groups, businesses, schools etc., police use Community-Oriented Policing (COP) to spy on local communites.
Community oriented policing research began in the 1970's but wasn't officially implemented until 1994, which means police have been spying on Americans for TWENTY TWO YEARS! The Center for Problem Oriented Policing website is a great resource to find out more about COP.
The Department of Justice and DHS are behind community policing. Click here & here to read about DHS's close relationship with the DOJ.
Authorities admit spying on everyone has the "POTENTIAL FOR SUCCESS."
"The community-oriented policing (COP) paradigm provides an existing framework for collaborative grassroots engagement that has the potential for success in counterradicalization outreach efforts. COP leverages already established community-based social service programs to address individual, group, and community radicalization factors."
"COP strategies provide a proactive approach to reducing individual and community risk by building a sense of trust, mutual respect, and shared ownership of public safety through partnerships with community stakeholders—such as business owners, religious groups, and social service programs. By closely aligning with established programs, these strategies have made progress in such areas as child abuse, reduction of domestic violence, and gang and delinquency prevention."
One of the ways community-policing programs have tried to assure residents that officers can be trusted is through community meetings. But according to Mariame Kaba, a Chicago-based organizer and co-founder of the grassroots group We Charge Genocide, the trust fostered in these meetings can come with conditions.
“They turn into these kinds of meetings where the police deputize community members to basically become arms of the state, Community members are empowered to tell police everything” said Kaba.
Police use homeowners associations, religious groups, property managers, businesses, schools, healthcare providers etc. to spy on everyone:

Those two pictures prove, police use Problem-Oriented Policing and Intelligence-Led Policing to create entire communities of spies.
A cop describes meeting with property managers numerous times:
"The residents who forged partnerships with law enforcement, according to the report, were “disproportionately white property owners..."
Police encourage attendees to organize block groups and form phone trees, all with the goal of reporting “strange” license plates, “suspicious” behavior, and descriptions of cars and people passing through the neighborhood. This monitoring often includes focused surveillance on specific “problem buildings,” and group discussion of how to increase surveillance and reporting with the goal of evicting tenants seen as undesirable.
Applying COP Philosophy To Counter Radicalization and Violent Extremism:
"Since 9/11, social science researchers and police increasingly have advocated community and problem-oriented policing as effective approaches to countering radicalization and preventing extremist violence. Problem-oriented policing is a strategy that builds on the relationships and grassroots community interaction practiced in COP and adds a focus on problem identification through crime analysis, intervention, and evaluation. Academic research indicates that COP practices, such as developing relationships with a broad range of community stakeholders, increases trust and a willingness to share information that could identify individuals at risk of radicalization or potential terrorist plots."
Police are cultivating churches, businesses, property managers, etc., to share information (SPY) on Americans.
What is a social science researcher (SSR) you ask?
According to Wikipedia:
"Social scientists are divided into camps of support for particular research techniques. These disputes relate to the historical core of social theory (positivism and antipositivism; structure and agency). While very different in many aspects, both qualitative and quantitative approaches involve a systematic interaction between theory and data. The choice of method often depends largely on what the researcher intends to investigate."
In other words find SSR's who support the Police State and cherry-pick their theories, sorry I meant research.
"Social research involved the interaction between ideas and evidence. Ideas help social researchers make sense of evidence, and researchers use evidence to extend, revise and test ideas. Social research thus attempts to create or validate theories..."
Can it get any more transparent that that? Social research is being used to CREATE or VALIDATE community-oriented policing (spying).
Anol Bhattacherjee Ph.D, at the University of Florida wrote an interesting book titled "Social Science Research: Principles, Methods, And Practices."
In the Preface, Bhattacherjee admits SSR"s are nothing more than theories...
"Most text books cover research methods in depth, but leave out the more challenging, less structured, and probably more important issues such as theorizing and thinking like a researcher..."
"In my experience, most doctoral students become fairly competent at research methods during their Ph.D. years, but struggle to generate interesting or useful research questions or build scientific theories."
This is an unbelievable admission. MOST researchers struggle to generate USEFUL research questions or scientific THEORIES. In other words, anything SSR's produce is dubious and should be scrutinized.
Bhattacherjee goes on to admit:
"I have devoted entire chapters to topics such as “Thinking Like a Researcher” and “Theories in Scientific Research...”
What he's really saying is, most SSR's published works (theories) are so bad he wrote two chapters to help them get their theories accepted.
An SSR job posting in Allabout careers reveals more startling information...
"A social researchers job description reveals, researchers set up focus groups, surveys and interviews and analyze the results."
Researchers might be required to prepare written summaries and contribute to research publications or put together oral presentations.
"Researchers might work for academic institutions, independent research institutes, local authorities, the government, health authorities or market research organizations."
SSR's are working for law enforcement and the government. SSR's are willing to publish anything that will support the Police State.
Fyi, Motorola Solutions is the driving force behind COP.
Communist Russia and Nazi Germany encouraged school kids to spy on their families and relatives, is the U.S. far behind?
