There are many studies regarding the socialization process of officers and its outcomes. However, these studies focus more on large, urban police departments and ignore the socialization process of officers in small police departments, and the influence of community policing philosophy and increasing diversity of police officers on the socialization and its outcomes. A small type police organization in the USA is analyzed in this study. Nine interviews were conducted with police officers in this inductive study. The results of this study show that the work environment (i.e., crime rates, crime diversity, neighborhood, and target population) and policing approaches such as community policing influence the socialization process of the police. In addition, police officersattach more importance to problem solving, partnership, and public relations in this new environment which, in turn, positively affect the job satisfaction of the police officers. These results are also meaningful for the Turkish National Police which has departments with different crime rates and size and is increasingly adapting community policing or similar policing approaches KW - Socialization KW - Community Policing KW - Service Style Policing KW - Police Culture KW - Job Satisfaction N2 - Polislerin sosyalleşme sürecini anlamak, polisi ve polisin mesleki yaşamındaki dönüşümünü anlamamızın temelkoşuludur. Polisin sosyalleşme süreci ve bunun sonuçları üzerine yapılan çok sayıda yurtdışı kaynaklı araştırma vardır.Ancak, yapılan bu çalışmalar genellikle büyük ve suç yoğun polis birimlerini dikkate almıştır. Küçük ölçekli polisbirimlerinde çalışan polislerin yaşadığı sosyalleşme süreci, son dönemde uygulamaya konulan toplum destekli polislikuygulamaları ve polisin değişen demografik özelliklerinin bu sosyalleşme sürecine etkisi üzerinde fazla durulmamıştır.Bu çalışma ile ABD’de bulunan küçük ölçekli bir polis teşkilatı analiz edilmiştir. Tümevarım yaklaşımı içinde farklırütbe ve birimlerde çalışan polislerle mülakat yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, polis biriminin çalıştığı çevrenin (suçyoğunluğu, suç türü, hedef kitle) ve toplum destekli polislik gibi yaklaşımların polisin sosyalleşme sürecini etkilediğianlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca, geleneksel suçla mücadele taktiklerinin yanı sıra problem çözme, vatandaşla işbirliği yapma gibiyaklaşımların daha fazla önemsendiği, bu değişimin de polisin iş memnuniyetine olumlu etkisi bulunduğu ortayakonmuştur. Bu sonuçlar, toplum destekli polislik gibi polislik yaklaşımlarının artan oranda uygulandığı, suç yoğunluğuve kurumsal büyüklük olarak değişen birimleri içinde barındıran Türk Polis Teşkilatı’nda yaşanan sosyalleşme sürecinianlamamıza da katkı sağlayacak niteliktedir.
