Which term denotes small neighborhood-based police facilities designed to increase accessibility and visibility?

• A. Police Explorer
• B. Broken Windows Model
• C. Coffee with a Cop
• D. Police Storefront Stations or Ministations

Answer: (D)

Neighborhood policing uses small storefront-style facilities to be accessible and visible in the community. These are called Police Storefront Stations or Ministations. They are actual, compact police outposts placed in neighborhoods to make officers more reachable, allow walk-in conversations, and promote a steady, visible presence that helps deter crime and build trust. The other terms refer to something else: a Police Explorer is a youth program, the Broken Windows Model is a theory about addressing minor disorder to prevent bigger crime, and Coffee with a Cop is a casual outreach event rather than a physical facility. So the term that best fits the description is the store-front style stations, sometimes called ministations.
