I was thinking about this earlier, how do you think we can go about bringing the relationships between officers and citizens closer together? I was born in 1992, so I didn't witness it much first hand, but I remember stories from my parents and grandparents about police playing a role in the community, being on a first name basis with families, stopping to play with children, helping out however they can.
Now, I see people avoiding police, everyone seems on edge when the have to interact, and there's a real us vs them mentality. Could you identify anything in your training or daily duties that could be causing this, or is it the same thing as people not knowing their neighbors anymore?
