Community policing (CP) has grown to become one of the globe’s significant police approaches in the contemporary era. The law enforcement agency is constantly striving to enhance its efficiency and strategy to promote justice through ensuring security and reducing crime. In the early nineties, Bangladesh launched a pilot program to establish the effectiveness of community policing for plummeting the gap between the masses and the police, thereby establishing the rule of law and strengthening good governance. However, the output of CPs' operations has been very ambiguous since then, and it frequently fails to provide services based on its navigational orientations. This paper investigates the efficacy traits of these ambiguous pinholes that deter it from attaining its purposes and becoming a socio-legal model. Based on qualitative and quantitative secondary data by employing structure and agency theory, the
study accomplished that worsening community crimes prove that community policing isn't functioning efficiently. Deficiency of collaborative efforts among different stakeholders makes it difficult to create law and order and strengthen good governance. Paucity of strategies to accommodate the stakeholders and agents within the organizational maneuvers squeezes the efficacy of CP in the socio-legal context of Bangladesh.
