The contemporary models of community policing represent different organizational innovations of police work, moving away from the traditional work of the police, creating new forms of action of the police in carrying out their duties. The basic idea behind all these models is the cooperation between the police and citizens in solving local community problems. It should be borne in mind that these models represent a whole and together they build a unified, comprehensive strategy for practical suppression of crime, its causes and conditions and other dangerous phenomena in society that threaten the quality of life in the community and disrupt the sense of security among the citizens. They give a whole new quality of police and security activities for the sake of society. These are all strategic models of community policing and each of them focuses on certain important aspects of the concept. The different models of community policing make a whole and should not be considered separately from each other. They do not apply separately, each for itself, but in a constructive and mutual respect and combination depending on the issues, resources and specific features of the community. The interconnection and interdependence of these models is the essence of community policing. Therefore, the police and the community should be familiar with these models, the possibilities offered by each of them, the way each of them functions individually, together or in combination with one another. Only the integrated application of these models is more than the sum of each of them individually. The practical implementation of a project can be more oriented towards establishing partnerships with the community and improving relations between the police forces and the communities, while others may be more focused on the identification of community problems and their solution, with more or less co-operation from the citizens.
