Résumé

In a perspective to meet the guidelines of the General Directorate of National Security (DGNS) to establish the general order and fight against crime, the police institution in Morocco continues to introduce a series of strategies aimed at improving the relationship police - citizen in the ultimate reason to restore the trust between these two actors. This paper presents an assessment of the impact of the police training axes on the success of the concept of community policing. 

In an attempt to assess the impact of these determinants of police training on the success of the concept of community policing, also known as proximity, this research article mobilized Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), specifically binary logistic regression.  However, the prediction of the success of this concept was supported in this paper by a police training module such as community policing.  This research ultimately showed a highly significant positive correlation between the background of this police training module and the success of the community policing approach.

This study was carried out in two successive phases.  The first was qualitative on the selection of determinants of continuing police training, specifically the background to the formation of "Closer to the Public " A broad review of the literature, with a significant impact on the success of the community policing concept.  The second phase is quantitative, explaining the prediction of the success of this concept through the logit model.
