<\/p>\nImaginez une communaut\u00e9 qui collabore \u00e9troitement avec la police pour assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique et l'efficacit\u00e9 du maintien de l'ordre. Imaginez maintenant que cette approche se passe dans une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 o\u00f9 les conflits violents sont fr\u00e9quents, un renforcement de la confiance qui se d\u00e9roule actuellement en \u00c9thiopie. La police et le grand public collaborent pour identifier les probl\u00e8mes de la communaut\u00e9, puis con\u00e7oivent et mettent en \u0153uvre des solutions \u00e0 ces probl\u00e8mes en consid\u00e9rant les connaissances locales de la r\u00e9gion et des conditions culturelles, sociales et psychologiques de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. En \u00c9thiopie, cette situation permet de rompre avec le style r\u00e9actif de la police pour adopter une approche plus confiante, proactive et pr\u00e9ventive.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia is a paradoxical country in flux. Since Abiy Ahmed's ascent to power in 2018, Ethiopia has been on a path of significant social, economic, and political transformation. Simultaneously, the country has experienced a devastating civil war that displaced millions, cost countless lives, and caused a significant rift in Ethiopia's federal structure and ethnic fabric.<\/p>\n
While the ongoing conflicts in Ethiopia and alleged war crimes have damaged national and international reputations around its reform agenda, there are numerous ongoing government and non-government initiatives to improve community and state relations, address community needs, and reform institutions to deepen democracy, broaden citizen participation, and promote peace. For instance, around the end of 2020, Ethiopia's Ministry of Peace presented a progressive new policing doctrine, pledging the federal and regional police to submit to stronger public oversight, improve respect for diversity and uphold international human rights standards. Interpeace, in partnership with the Ethiopia Police University, is working on a trust building program between citizens and the police to provide a method to make the progressive philosophy captured in the Ethiopia Police Doctrine a reality of on the ground.<\/p>\n
In 2021, Ethiopia's Ministry of Peace and Interpeace conducted a baseline review and surveyed a total of 1,786 people from four Woredas (District-level administrative units) to assess the difficulties encountered in interactions between the community and the police. The review revealed that trust has long been the missing link in the police service across the Woredas surveyed. Notably, the youth were skeptical of the police, and there was a lack of consistency in local community police support for public safety programs in neighbourhoods. Little was said about the support provided to women and people with disabilities, leading to the conclusion that the existing platforms to ensure active public engagement were superficial, as community residents had little influence over identifying, prioritizing, and resolving pressing community issues.<\/p>\n

Pour faire face \u00e0 cette situation, ce programme de police communautaire met l'accent sur l'importance de la collaboration avec le public. Ces deux parties prenantes choisissent les pr\u00e9occupations les plus prioritaires et travaillent ensemble pour mieux comprendre les probl\u00e8mes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9. \u00c0 cette fin, un logiciel de syst\u00e8me d'information g\u00e9ographique (SIG) est utilis\u00e9 pour cartographier \u00e9lectroniquement les lieux des \u00e9v\u00e9nements de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 communautaire d\u00e9couverts dans les Woredas. Il a permis \u00e0 la police et au public de visualiser et de comprendre les probl\u00e8mes de mani\u00e8re novatrice. Il encourage la discussion sur les faits affich\u00e9s sur l'\u00e9cran du SIG plut\u00f4t que sur les perceptions individuelles des probl\u00e8mes. Par exemple, les habitants d'un Woreda peuvent se plaindre \u00e0 la police d'une augmentation de la criminalit\u00e9 de rue, comme les agressions. La police saisit les donn\u00e9es de l'incident dans le programme de cartographie SIG. Elle partage les cartes produites avec la communaut\u00e9 et analyse avec elle les donn\u00e9es afin de mieux comprendre les causes de l'augmentation des incidents et de concevoir une r\u00e9ponse pour emp\u00eacher que les crimes ne se reproduisent. Le logiciel ne peut \u00eatre utilis\u00e9 que dans le cadre d'un travail pr\u00e9ventif avec les communaut\u00e9s et non pour soutenir des enqu\u00eates criminelles qui pourraient compromettre la confiance dans la police.<\/p>\n
Les questions qui sont importantes pour le public ne le sont pas toujours pour la police, et vice versa. Le SIG communautaire permet \u00e0 toutes les personnes impliqu\u00e9es d'acqu\u00e9rir une compr\u00e9hension commune, favorise la confiance et le dialogue ouvert, et conduit \u00e0 la mise en \u0153uvre d'actions de r\u00e9solution de probl\u00e8mes \u00e0 plus long terme.<\/p>\n
L'un des principaux objectifs de cette approche conjointe entre la police et les citoyens est la r\u00e9duction de l'ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 dans une communaut\u00e9. Les citoyens, quant \u00e0 eux, ne seront dispos\u00e9s \u00e0 travailler avec la police que s'ils constatent une am\u00e9lioration de la s\u00fbret\u00e9 et de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publiques et s'ils ont confiance dans la police et les autres forces de l'ordre.<\/p>\n
