I remember my ex -gf getting almost purse snatched(failed attempt) in the gsp parking lot .. b4 they added best buy's new building. Not a rent a cop or or county/paramus cop anywheres.
I realize certain things are reactive situations as far as law enforcement is concerned , but I laugh inside at the overkill and futility of it sometimes.

This cause of a lack of community policing. Most policing nowadays is reactive instead of proactive. Community policing started to fade when they started using cars, cause cops no longer intergrated with the community and it got worse with the invention of am/fm radios and air conditions cause windows went up and radios went on.
Their trying to bring back community policing now though hence the use of bicycle cops, foot patrol, officers on horses, etc. People have such a bad perception of cops because everyone is so used to them showing up when something bad happens or you get caught doing something bad. People forget cops are averages joes too and generally nice people.
