Are they to busy with their noses in the citation book to have a real feel for the neighborhood and the people they are supposed to be protecting? I have a feeling the CPS is losing touch with the community.
I can't tell you the number of drug deals I've seen at the 8th st platform go down right under the nose of the two dumb cops that stand blabbing to each other.

What you're describing is community policing. A concept completely foreign to CPS. Where I work on 14th ave between 2nd and 4th SWthere is currently quite a lot of dealing and prostitution happening (although I am sure that will be forced out with time with all the condo development going on, but right now it is a giant construction zone with not that many people around) and I have seen cops in the area probably twice in two summers. The dealers and I are starting to become familiar it seems as we walk by eachother everyday.
