He is a former associateprofessor at the University of North CarolinaCharlotte and Emeritus Associate Professorand Chair at SUNY Brockport, both in CriminalJustice. Prior to that career, he was a policeofficer and Chief of Police in two departments. services, koban community policing effectively prevented crime as well as anti-government activities. The strategy was successfully replicated in Taiwan and Korea, the two colonies of Japan before World War II. The koban system has been transformed to become a strategy that deliverspolice services to citizens and simultaneouslysustains national security while collaborating withthe intelligence services. Western communitypolicing programmes intensify police service delivery to citizens. In the post-9/11 era, the influenceof federal law enforcement has expanded toinclude a collaborative and occasionally superseding role. If balancing individual freedom and collective wellbeing becomes possible in Westerncountries, Eastern community policing modelsmay serve to enlighten the path in this quest.
