This article on unconditional respect is primarily based on a case study of the 1910 Squad, Kansas City, Missouri Police Department. Law enforcement has always been complicated and hazardous. That is as true today as at any time in history. Even so, policing rests on Sir Robert Peel's "Nine Principles" dictating that the ultimate mission of policing is to build high trust relationships instead of drawing lines of distinction between police and public. The goal of this article is to show that there is a method whereby it is possible to be effective with regard to the standard monitoring of law enforcement and at the same time build trust. The article is built on the philosophy of unconditional respect exercised by the 1910 Squad, Kansas City, Missouri Police Department. It will point out factors leading to effectiveness and trust within a community and share an example of how this method is used in practice. Respect is a very important element in our society and our interpersonal relations, and its presence or absence largely determines how we relate to one another and society at large. Moreover, respectful treatment of others on the part of authority figures increases general levels of commitment and rule compliance. Three steps;i. See people as people;ii. Accept the ways police are part of the problem;iii. Focus on new ways of being helpful and responsive are introduced. In conclusion the results of the method will be introduced.
