The Richmond, CA model of policing (positive community policing)

I agree. Policing needs to be administered at the state and local level, and a program like this could only work at that level. But, what do you take from this approach? Do you think it is attainable at a level of, say Baltimore or Los Angeles? I mean logistically, as well as philosophically speaking.

Los Angeles is too big (as a whole). Needs to be implemented by smaller communities.

Philosophically, I'm undecided. It's definitely worth a shot, where possible.
