Policing legitimacy:
 When police are perceived as legitimate, people feel that they ought to defer to their decisions and rules, cooperate with them and follow them voluntarily out of obligation, rather than out of fear of sanctions or anticipations of reward.  
Procedural justice: 
The publics judgments about the fairness of the processes through which the police make decisions and exercise authority

This refers to society having trust and confidence in the police so that they are able to perform their day to day duties.

For Police Legitimacy to be efficient and effective in the community. The laws in place to protect peoples authorities and privacy have to always be professionally executed. 

Procedural justice on the other hand is the neutrality of grounds between the police and members of society. This could stretch from being - respectful, fair, open minded, non biased and so forth, thus creating a more friendlier ground for civilians to approach Police Officers with trust and integrity. 

Under the opening endorsement for the NSW Police privacy management act. The commissioner states " It is therefore critical to community confidence for people to know that we will handle information lawfully and in a way that strikes the right balance between an individual’s privacy and the community’s safety"

The trust, confidence and shared moral between the community and police officers results to a positive influence towards individuals, which they cooperate and obey the laws implemented by local police force. Both law enforcement and community have mutual purpose that can support deter criminal activity. 

On the other hand, procedural justice is consist of neurality, respect, trust and voice, which offers a beneficial perspective from community towards police officers exercising their discretion and authority.

New South Wales Police Force illustrated their corporate plan for addressing the issue and methods to tackle certain type of criminal issue. It also provides a sufficient information on police strategy and various program that can strenghten police legitacy and procedural justice

Procedural Justice is the ethical responsibility of the police to respect the public in return whilst carrying out their duties, procedural justice is compromised of four elements: Neutrality: making sure that evidence is measured impartially without some sort of bias that would make it a conflict of interests to do so, Respect for the citizens, having conduct that would instil public trust, as well as letting the people speak and actually listening to them. 

The way that the NSW Police force tries to incorporate both concepts is by listening to contemporary community issues and values and responding accordingly, this is seen through the introduction of Indigenous liaison officers as well as youth liaison officers, attempting to mend the relationship between the police and the Indigenous community as well as making sure youths achieve the best in their lives by keeping them off the streets.]]> 2017-12-01 00:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/legitimacy/wish/212118537 Sara https://padlet.com/g_sims/legitimacy/wish/212118615 The term legitimacy means the trust, confidence and moral alignment of how the sense of shared purpose between the police and public. Hence, it is the obligation to obey police law enforcers.   
Additionally, the importance of procedural justice comprised to the neutrality, respect, trust and voice to enhance connection between police and the community.
An example that reinforce this is the Cabramatta LAC eyewatch commended by the NSW police force.
They help identify and eliminate crime that causes harm to the society, through the use of social media such as Facebook to connect to the society. ]]> 2017-12-01 00:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/legitimacy/wish/212118615 Melissa Crocker https://padlet.com/g_sims/legitimacy/wish/212118771 Police legitimacy is the obedience to obey police officers. Where as Procedural justice is the connection between public judgments about the the fairness of police processes.

police legitimacy is the way the public view the police. in other words, if the police act lawfully and remain as a powerful image in the eyes of the public and give confidence and trust, the public will see the police as legit. It is evident that police are legit

Police Legitimacy is the process of the Police organisation, participating and practicing proper and ethical policing practices that support the community. Procedural justice is the processes of disputes and resources to be used fairly and treated fairly. This can be shown through various interactions with the police and how they carry the situation, which links in as well as with police legitimacy. 
 
The Police Force that I will be using is the New South Wales Police Force (NSWPF), the reasoning behind this, is that they have been able to successfully integrate these various ideas throughout their work while dealing with the community which can be shown through functions, events, real life situations, etc. As well as being able to portray this through various reports and mission statements, where they explain their work, which incorporates them 
 
It is evident through the NSWPF (2016-17) Annual Report, that they have effectively incorporated and implemented police legitimacy as well as procedural justice, by stating various facts and figures, which explain the purpose of their work and the reaons of why they carry out various policing practices, which explains both polcie legitimacy and procedural justice.

In conclusion, we have been able to provide an understanding through
