. >> i am branch manager at the buchanan ymca. we have heard a lot about what is happening with the police, what was happening when foot patrols were cut back. i am going to go before that. i current live in the western addition and have lived in the north beach-chinatown area and now in the western addition. i remember when i lived on polk street when there was a beat officer or two i would see on a daily basis. they got to know me, i got to know them. when we talk about citizens trust the police or don't, i always trust the police because i know them personally. back in the 1970's, things had changed where you could get to know the police officers like i did growing up, so there was that continuity of the relationships that kids and thec community have with their officers. things seem to be going well now. working with the captain at the station, i havegreat relationships with the police officers, i know them and can call them at any time from the ymc or any community i know about. the question is, will this continue throughout
