Acceptance of the big role of public relations in police work must come. Advancements in the technological and scientific ways of police work, in the techniques of administration, and in an understanding of the criminal mind is not enough. Police work is more than work with criminals or apprehending them, or administering an organization. Police work is a public service.

To be effective and to meet the needs of the public, an efficient organization must be developed, an organization staffed with personnel who understand the human problem, but more important, understand their own problems and cope with them adequately before trying to solve the problems of people who are in trouble. The human relations approach to organization and management of a police department is a must, and the sooner it is accepted and applied, the quicker police service will reach the status it deserves, that of a recognized profession.

Every police officer in a department, from the chief of police to the newly recruit, should participate in a human relations program to be effective. Of necessity, the chief must take the lead. The policies, programs, and examples which he initiates become the guides for action by all other officers. Initiation of a human relations program must be through them, with their full support and understanding obtained from public they served. Thus, officers in the department can make or break human relations essential to law enforcement.

Instilling of human relation in the patrolmen is a must and considered as a responsibility. If changes are to be made in departmental practices or procedures, it is the chief of police to change the policemen's attitudes and to condition them for the changes. Success of a human relations program comes through its understanding that action towards people are conditions reflected inside the organization. Human relation elements or concepts are not complex, most are commonplace and merely require recognition and an understanding of why they affect the work of police officers towards the people they serve in their common areas.

The value of law enforcement personnel enacting procedural justice in every engagement with members of the community can hardly be overstated. However, positive interactions among law enforcement personnel must be executed. Such action with concurrence of transparency, without bias, and showing respect for every community member can help develop and maintain police legitimacy characterized by police effectiveness and police professionalism. This legitimacy helps officers do their job promoting public safety by reducing crime and the fear of crime with the aid of the community.

Specifically, earning the community's trust not only enhances communication and the reporting of crime but also models a behavior of community engagement that community members then adopt as good public relation. Public relation then, is simply putting community member's cooperation more with law enforcement personnel when viewing the law enforcement organization as legitimate institution and law enforcing body.
