Abstract
Community policing has emerged to address rising crime rates and to strengthen the relationship between law enforcement agencies and the public, thereby fostering trust and cooperation in protecting lives and property. This study aims to identify the professional requirements necessary for female social workers to perform effectively in community policing departments in Qatar. Data were collected through a paper-based questionnaire administered to 25 female social workers working in the Community Policing Department. The findings revealed four main categories of professional requirements: values, training, skills, and knowledge. The study also proposed strategies to enhance the role of social workers in supporting the effectiveness of community policing
