You dont have to be best friends with 200,000 people. But you can develop relationships with a few key members of your sector and your precinct and your area and develop those kinds of relationships where it becomes a twoway flow of information. Information on safety and you can provide information to us on crime and what is important in your community. The days of Police Departments going into the community and telling them what their problem is i think has passed. We are now at a point where we are going to the community and the community is helping us determine what our priorities should be. Where we should be attacking crime. What the most important thing that they want addressed is. Sometimes its not even crime. To beome that focal point the guardians of the community, not the warriors.

Admir admiral, Combatant Commander as well, sir. Thank you very much, congressman. We proceed to Congress James langevin of rhode island. Thank you, mr. Chairman. I want to thank you for your testimony today. The incident involving the uss fitzgerald and the mccain were tragic events. And i wish we had never gotten to this point. And my thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who are lost and those who are injured. And were all anxious to get to the bottom of what happened. But this appears to be a symptom of a larger problem. I know we touched this in many different capacities here today, but the u. S. Navy has, my understanding of all this, has moved training out of the schoolhouses and instead embraced an onthejob training model, which is what sailors do, operate with little sleep and without a singular focus on learning.
