It's strange to see the way that common dialogue has regressed in a lot of ways.
"Hi, I'm *enter name here*. How are you doing? Oh, you're cleaning up, do you work for the University? A student? What are you taking? That's great! It was a pleasure to meet you. This is my beat, so I guess I'll see you around the neighborhood. Take care."
Rinse and repeat for everyone that you run across. Eventually you are part of the neighborhood yourself, and they will look out for you as much as you are looking out for them.
Where in the training did that get lost? Maybe when actually walking a beat was replaced with cruising in an armored vehicle?
