A neighborhood resource officer asks residents to clean up litter, remove graffiti, and install better lighting in a nearby park that is known for extensive drug dealing. Such a request is characteristic of what type of policing?

Answer: Problem-solving

Explanation: This kind of request is based on a solid understanding of danger that's been going on in the neighborhood.

Cleaning up litter is the key to cleaner streets, air and better surroundings for the children.

Better lighting is a way of getting rid of the drug dealers that are around since they wouldn't want to be around bright lights thus rather in darker streets.
