Following the introduction of Community Policing in Za'atari Camp in December 2013 and the formal opening of a Community Police Station in February 2015, a survey was conducted in early 2015 in order to to measure the perceived level of safety amongst residents in the camp before and after the intervention and to estimate the impact of community police on safety. For this purpose, 3,444 refugees were interviewed.
This report discusses the findings from these surveys and makes recommendations for policing in the coming months. It hopes to help develop a shared understanding of factors which impact on safety in the camp, build cooperative relationships and promote the achievements of the Syrian Refugee Assistance Directorate (SRAD) in Za’atari Camp.
