Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies and Management - Registration at source 29/6/2018 Research article Encounters Between the Police and the Public: Seize the Day Or Practice Avoidance? The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of encounters on police legitimacy and levels of trust in the police in the Monash Local Government Area in the state of Victoria, Australia. Monash was chosen as it had experienced declining results in the official National Survey of Community Satisfaction with Policing in relation to police legitimacy and trust. A qualitative case study comprising 18 interviews and six focus groups with community representatives from Monash is employed in the paper. When procedural justice approaches are applied during encounters between the police and the public, encounters contribute to securing legitimacy for the police. Contact between the police and the public in everyday situations also enhances trust in the police, depending on the way the police conduct themselves during such interactions.
