May 5, 1999: The University announced a complete restructuring of the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) as part of a plan to make the police force more efficient and to implement a model of community policing. Following an extensive audit by community policing scholar George L. Kelling, the department announced...
University officials chose community policing--a philosophy of law enforcement propounded by criminologists in the late '70s and early '80s and catechized in 1982 into a pragmatic philosophy by James Q. Wilson, then a professor of government at Harvard, and George Kelling, now a professor at Rutgers University.
Last year Taylor sought to evaluate the progress of Riley's efforts, commissioning a study by Kelling, the founding father of the community policing idea.
And the charge that Riley is humorless is alsofound to be baseless in Kelling's study. "ChiefRiley regularly comments about the world andevents with a Jack Benny-like droll humor that, ifone listens carefully, is self-mocking....He is abit of a character," the report states.
Moreover, the younger department officers eagerfor traditional police work may also be "upset,"Kelling said.
