well, there's a question with the community and especially the minority community is, who shall wear the badge? What kinds of police services do we want and how can we improve the quality of police services in our communities? And most of your community, people realize is that

00:00:26.940 - 00:00:53.660

in order for the police department to be a viable and a serviceable organization, they have to have the support of the various communities people. So I feel that they're willing to help and identifying people who they think will do a serviceable job. What do you do

00:00:53.660 - 00:01:05.270

about the problem of a young black man or a latino who wants to become a policeman? Yet his peer group, the other young men and women are, his age are looking are frowned upon policemen. How do you convince him to join the department when he's going

00:01:05.270 - 00:01:22.300

to be laughed at and called names? I think the only answer to this dilemma is to enlist the support of the community people and also the Latinos who are presently employed as policemen. Let them share their experiences with these candidates. And I think that this in

00:01:22.300 - 00:01:24.660

a large sense will help alleviate that problem.
