February 2006 built on regular communication and practical co-operation, between the police and the minorities. All parties benefit from such a relationship. The minorities benefit from policing which is more sensitive to their concerns and more responsive to their requirements for personal protection and access to justice. The police benefit from greater effectiveness, since good communication and co-operation are keys to effective policing in any community. The state benefits both from the integration of minorities and from the greater effectiveness of its policing. For States seeking to integrate minorities, and at the same time develop professional service-oriented community policing, the Recommendations provide a practical way forward. It is hoped that the Recommendations will be broadly disseminated and widely used. 4
