Wisconsin City Serves As Model For Community Policing

By Cheryl Corley

Published April 3, 2015 at 4:29 PM EDT

In the wake of fatal police-involved shootings, cities are looking for ways to institute police department reforms. A community policing program in Racine, Wis., calls for police officers to work out of people's houses in specific neighborhoods.

Corrected: April 16, 2015 at 12:00 AM EDT

A previous headline incorrectly referred to Racine, Wis., as a small town.
