By studying this subject, here my suggestions are as follows: Ⅰ Suggestions on community policing of Penghu. 1.Penghu people are quite satisfied with the public security but are still afraid of being stolen. We have to pay more attention on guiding how to prevent the civilian from being a burglar victim and lay emphasis on operational practices. 2.Penghu people are not willing to attend any meeting related to public affairs; the police has to stimulate and inspire the community consciousness of being a civilian by attending any activities or practicing census checks. 3.Implementing sole-duty-beat system can diminish most of the burden of policy duty, which can exclusively make the police more concentrative on doing the census check, providing service, and guiding crime prevention. 4.The success of community policing depends on “close interaction between the civilian and the police; the police must offer high quality service to gain the trust of the civilian. Only by doing this can a close relationship be shaped and be dedicated on crime prevention. 5.The spirit of community policing is beat officer itself; therefore, in order to encourage the officer to persistently manage its beat with diligence and innovativeness, a system based on preventive guiding and service providing to assess the performance of the beat officers is highly requested. 6.While enforcing the community policing, the crucial point to success is decided by how to pass the decision-making to the beat officer, which can make them more flexible and responsive to the need of the community. 7.In hoping of the community policy strategy can keep flourishing, the government authority has to make budget for it and those responsible have to step into the community for a setting up a sound community policing. And the police authority has to make its goal and strategy clear and have a comprehensive communication with the beat officer to build a common consensus. Then , under the process of empowerment, the beat officer can become a member of the community. 8.Twenty-first century is the era of community policing, the police has to cooperate with the medium strategically to publicize the community consciousness, which, in the long run, can be beneficial to build a high quality living environment. .
