Police officers are used to handing out tickets for violations and but also doing something to reward good behavior, officers are distributing mini footballs and cards like this redeemable for a free water ice at a local i icecream parlor. With the uniforms we may look scary, they see us in that type of environment, we look more friendly and approachable. Anything you can do to bridge the gap to make them more approachable especially with young kids. At a time when tensions are so high with communities and Law Enforcement. Some parents feel conflicted. What is happening out there is like oh my goodness and you dont want it to happen to your kids and you dont want them to be afraid of the cops either. They are human beings and people dont see them as such. When kids and Community Members know them and are comfortable talking to them everyone in the city benefits. A lot of people told us before, they feel like when officers drive around and are you not on the street and communicating with them every day. They want to know you by name. And be able to share information about crimes. If they can help us and trust us, i think we can solve a lot of the problems. Does this kind of Community Policing work .
