Community policing seems always in vogue. Even during crises of public confidence in the police, the public are apt to call for ‘more bobbies on the beat’. Indeed, those officers who take on long‐term assignment to a beat feel that their most daunting problems do not originate from the public but from their own organization. The article examines the organizational and occupational problems of community police, focussing on performance measurement, relations with other functions, uncertain policies and the effects of undermanning and transfers. Accommodations to the status of community policing within the organization, and motivations for accepting the assignment, are related to the key concept of role ambivalence
