Common sense tells me that police effectiveness increases when the public image of the police police increases, so whether community policing was designed to increase the public image of the police or to increase police effectiveness doesn't really matter.

And, as far as not being bothered to fight crime, I have called 911 to report things such as minors loitering in a park after dark.
wow, big effort there. :rolleyes: Have you started or do you participate in a neighborhood watch? Do you set an example for others to follow in your driving habits? Is there a police Explorer Scout unit in your area? Do you volunteer your time to help them? Do you do anything to get involved in your community? (I'm sure you will make something up)
As far as turning this into a flame fest, it takes two!
I'll keep going as long as you want!
Nope, just informed you that I would not go there. If you have to have the last word, be my guest. That is more important to some people than others. As for me, I'm done with you. I don't think you have the capacity to view the issue from any side but your own.
