Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST hVR0x4eO. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. In Aiken, South Carolina, community policing has led to numerous innovative programs that have contributed to a healthy community. The MOMS and COPS (Managing Our Maternity System with Community Oriented Policing System) program has played a significant part in the county's 50% decrease in infant mortality since 1989 and contributed to Aiken's designation as an All-America City in 1997. Other programs include a mentoring program for at-risk teen girls ; instant crime reporting with donated cellular phones ; seminars for seniors to alert them to scams and common crimes ; demolition of unsafe homes ; free installation of smoke detectors ; a child ID program ; and parental education on child brain development.
