현대의 경찰활동은 지역사회 경찰활동(Community Policing)으로 귀결된다. 지역사회 경찰활동에 대한 많은 논의가 있어왔지만 지역사회 경찰활동이라는 패러다임에 관한 통합적인 모색은 등한시 되어 온 것이 사실이다. 지역사회 경찰활동에서 파생된 프로그램 및 전략들은 실질적인 경찰활동과 관련이 있다. 이러한 프로그램들은 경찰조직의 이슈 혹은 특정한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 지역사회 경찰활동보다 의도적으로 좁은 범위로 한정하고 있다. 그러한 초점을 가진 대표적인 프로그램은 문제지향적 경찰활동(Problem-oriented policing), 깨진 창(Broken Windows), 컴스탯(Comstat), 제3자 경찰활동(Third party policing), 우범지대(Hot spots)로 볼 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 프로그램 및 전략들은 매우 한정된 범위 내에서 존재하고 운영되는 것들이기 때문에 오늘날의 경찰활동의 근거나 기초를 지역사회 경찰활동만큼 제공해주지 못하고 있다. 지역사회 경찰활동과 관련된 경찰개혁 프로그램이나 전략들을 통합하여 다시 한 번 의미를 재정립하는 것은 현장의 경찰관들이 보다 쉽게 경찰행정의 의미를 이해하고 실제로 실현해 나갈 수 있는 방법을 안내하기 위함이다.

As the fourth industrial revolution accelerates, universities have made great efforts to develop and reform creative convergence courses for improving the students' creative convergence capabilities. Although various subjects such as "Capstone" and "Design Thinking" to the improvement of students' creative convergence competences, many courses focus on creativity education in the direction of creating new products or outputs such as engineering, design, and art, so there is still a lack of systematic education and subjects on creative convergence capabilities from a humanities and sociological perspective. In order to overcome their limitations of creative courses, "H" University developed a 'Imaginative Innovators' class with the purpose of solving creative problems on social issues related to sciences, culture, politics, economics, and so on. In this study, we introduced the purpose, methodology, students' best practices etc. of the "Imaginative innovator" course. In addition, we discussed the limitations and complements as well as the advantages and possibilities of the course. These findings are expected to contribute to the development and expansion of creativity education.
