That said, I can't even begin to imagine what a crappy job it would be to be a cop in that neighbourhood. I'm not saying it's the case with this cop, but I'd get a pretty cynical view of humanity very quickly.

Actually generally the opposite is true, over the years most of the cops I knew that worked there liked it, it is one of the few areas that a cop can deal with an issue from start to finish without having to fill in reams of forms and the like. Most of the beat cops describe it as 'real' police work.
It is apparently way preferable to driving around in a car for 8 hours dealing with predominantly rude and demanding middle class a**h***s who object to being stopped from speeding, beating their wives, kids, dogs etc or just getting drunk and acting like a dofus.
