“…The police officers carry out arrest, detain offenders and investigate the cases so as to maintain law and order. On the other hand, community Oriented Policing is the Law enforcement philosophy that encompasses a set of strategies rather than a policing intervention which emphasizes co-production of public safety by police and citizens [21]. Consequently, the Police is expected to work together with the community such as community groups, businesses, local government, service providers, media as well as individuals to define priorities, and address problems of insecurity by using a wider range of resources which include the soft civilian approaches other than relying on the use of traditional law enforcement powers, such as arrest in order to promote peace and security in the urban areas.…”

Peace and security in urban centres remains key to their growth and development; however, slum areas remain dented with numerous aspects of insecurity. While a number of models have been sought, none has drawn a comparisons. This study compares two models of community policing in the quest to enhance peace and security among slum dwellers in Lira City. A qualitative approach was used with a case study research design and personal interviews were used to collect information from participants. While the study established that COP appear to yield more benefits than the traditional model, a combination of both can strengthen efforts to enhance peace and security seeing that majority of the dwellers. It is encouraged that continuous training be offered to key stakeholders so that community policing is treated as key issue of peace and security.
