Attention to detail Attention to detail is the process by which
someone can identify small details, correct

to run or walk long distances. It also refers

complete their job duties.

Community awareness Community awareness represents the
process by which individuals understand the
surrounding community. This includes
understanding resident demographics,
poverty levels, crime rates and other factors
that influence communities. When police
officers have good community awareness,
they have the ability to interact with
members of the community in an effective
way. It also helps them support local
initiatives that benefit community members
and ensures they understand the types of
crime that occur in the area.
