President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing starts work.
As you may or may not know, in response to the problem of excessive use of force by police, Pres. Obama has created a "President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing." Hearings have started. See the link to sign up for e-mail updates. As noted in post below, at least one witness called for the abolition of broken windows policing. Expect increased pushes for "Community Oriented Policing." This already has a government website (see link).

Doesn't seem like almost sixty years back that I was in Paris for two years. Then, there, two-man foot patrols were seemingly all over the city. Les flics. Predominantly in the areas where there were people outside at night.
ReplyDeleteHard for a street-dealer dope seller to have an "office". People just "hanging out" had to be well-behaved.
