9:05 am
engagement, people are not afraid to report crimes. and that's exactly where we want this community we want the community to build that. if crime is committed, should feel safe in reporting that crime. and when we get to that stage in our community will be in state would say is that open is in a position to reduce crime and is reducing crime. and that's exactly where we want to and i imagine someday you envision a community where. >> when somebody in the community sees the police, they run towards them and they're happy versus being afraid of them because there's ad angle as well where you want to feel, you know, that that you don't have to you're safe from the police, you know, and a lot of that will trend that repair work in that relationship does have to come. >> from the side of police, we know that the department has been, you know, rocked with scandals in the past. and so there is some work to be done on both sides to try and get us to that utopian. do that is
