Police and Society
Citizen oversight refers to the process by which members of the community monitor and evaluate the actions and policies of law enforcement agencies to ensure accountability and transparency. This practice enhances police-community trust by involving civilians in oversight mechanisms, allowing them to have a say in policing practices and policies that directly affect their lives. It is rooted in the belief that public input can help improve police services and foster a more collaborative relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
