He stated that community policing is an organizational philosophy integrated across the entire police agency and should not be viewed simply as a new project or temporary specialization. Secondly, for community policing to establish itself in police organisations, it must help create a new working environment within these organizations so that the new values of policing are reflected in police administration and policies. Third, community policing must succeed in dealing with opposition from the subculture, a subculture focused on efficiency, danger, and authority. It has recently been argued that police organizations actually have several internal subcultures. Finally, to be adopted by the public and the police, Goldstein suggested that community policing must focus on solving problems related to crime and community disorder, not simply quickly responding to calls for service and then completing the paperwork.
