I am not sure why I was never aware of that, it always seems like I am passing a Ytown cruiser somewhere, but I guess I do get around town a lot for meetings and shoots and whatever. I had read about that very subject not too long ago about how there is so much square mileage of Youngstown City that it's impossible to have the police manpower to cover it all.<BR/><BR/>Community policing has been a buzzword for a long time, but you are exactly right Tyler, I think the citizens think it means the police coming to their community, (neighborhood), when it's really about bringing the neighborhood to the police. <BR/><BR/>What would happen if every Friday and Saturday night from 7-10 pm 10 adults in each neighborhood tied on their bright orange bandanas around each bicep, went to their local McD's who provided them with a free warmer of coffee and cups, (cause there is definitely one of those in each neighborhood), and spent the 3 hours walking side by side around their city blocks. And please dont let it be the SAME 10 people each week. How long would it take for the young ones to start walking with them? Hearing the stories of history and pride from one generation to the other. Now that is something I would like to see. Sign me up for that!<BR/><BR/>I wish I would have heard about the meeting sooner, but I hope to keep hearing more updates about it by the blogging community. Thanx Tyler and the community who all met together, keep up the good work.......SFAccent Media, LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01043710742067972718noreply@blogger.com
