What is Traditional Policing?
The old system or concept of policing whereby policemen are looked upon as an
authority
representing the government it serve rather than as a servant of the community.
Here, The police organization is used as protector of
"the few" instead of "the many".
The main traditional purpose of the police is to protect the authority (the
government).
Hence, the yardstick of measuring police efficiency under this kind of policing is
the number of people arrested of crimes and the number of people jailed.
�-The more people arrested and thrown to jail, the more the police organization is
effective and efficient".
