menkin. i am a relatively new member of the ingleside cpad, and i appreciate the opportunity to speak with you tonight. we really do need a common definition of community policing. i have kind of struggled with that. as a new member, i have been doing some research in trying to figure out what is my role here. there are some training materials. i think there could be more. as we know, it comes from the top. having a vision statement for the police department, for each captain, that really crystallizes what community policing is, at least in san francisco or right now, i think it is a really good thing. i understand that implementation will be and should be station by station, really, and the captains and the chief need some flexibility to implement community policing. but i think the community needs to understand what is and how to define it. there really should not be 100 definition s if there are 100 people in the room. in my view, we need to encourage the real partnership
