When I was working patrol, my morning tradition was to grab a cup of coffee and go for a walk in the neighborhood I patrolled. At first, people would see me walking down their street and think something was wrong. When I told them I was just out for a walk, they would always smile. People look at Cop Cars the way they look at sharks. Even if you like them, there's always a little bit of fear. But an Officer walking through your neighborhood on foot is a person and a member of your community. This is how I served the residents of the Hilltop and I look forward to picking up where I left off. The video I released on YouTube today is from one of those walks where I was approached by a homeless man on his way to breakfast. (the map is the actual GPS trace from my watch).
