Policing by consent

English to French Other Government / Politics Policing
This is a document that explores policing in Africa and especially in the urban periphery.

Here is the context:
"He notes that, where the community does not know how policing works and police do not understand the community they serve, there is a disconnect that makes *policing by consent* more difficult.
Ultimately then, the nature of refugee communities means that some of the tools and fundamentals of policing are absent or limited due to the alien nature of the peripheral community.
In indigenous communities, where policing has the opportunity to evolve and develop over time, in parallel and as part of the community it serves, police officers and authorities are able to adapt and develop techniques and procedures that reflect those communities.
Examples of this would be the siting of police stations, and the use of community groups and mechanisms and local administrative measures such as identity cards, vehicle registration systems and housing and address systems."

The meaning is of course very clear (policing carried out with the consent or even the cooperation of the community in which it is implemented.)

But I cannot find a suitable translation in any of the online dictionaries and "maintien de l'ordre par consentement" does not sound good at all.

If possible, I would like to avoid a whole long expression describing this (and am aware that it may not be possible).

But I am counting on your expertise to come up with something relatively short but very much to the point!

Discussion

Batiste Foisy Mar 8, 2019:
Dans ce cas-ci il s'agit d'un gérondif (policing by consent) alors "police consensuelle" ne marche pas vraiment. À la rigueur on pourrait parler de "mettre en oeuvre une méthode dite de 'police consensuelle'", mais c'est plutôt verbeux comme formule.
Moi je dirais, "établir la confiance du public envers le système de police"
