Police should walk the streets, and have kiosks in neighborhoods where they are available. They should learn their neighborhood, and get to know the people within it. Crime and criminals are symptoms of broken communities. Police should serve and protect communities. To succeed in this, like teachers, they must be a part of the community.

Our police have assumed the mentality and equipment of soldiers. Soldiers have enemies. Police should not have enemies.
