### Overview of National Community Policing Week

President  Obama designated the week of Oct. 2–8, 2016, as National Community Policing Week. The week was an extension of the  Attorney General’s 12-city Community Policing Tour that highlighted collaborative programs  and policing practices designed to advance public safety, strengthen  police-community relations, and foster mutual trust and respect between law  enforcement and citizens. National Community Policing Week builds on President Obama’s efforts  to engage with law enforcement and  other members of the community to implement key recommendations from the Final Report of the President’s Task Force  on 21st Century Policing. 

  “Strengthening  the relationship between law enforcement officers and the communities we serve  and protect is one of my top priorities,” said Attorney General Loretta E.  Lynch. The COPS Office supported Attorney General Lynch in the following  activities during National Community Policing Week:
