i know karen has spoken abou t this. there is no liaison to the cab. i was a member at the agency, they lost some funding, and that person was never appointed. we don't get information from cabs any longer. i did serve on a cab, really informed. i wonder if there is still a cab. we need more trust in the police department. we need more transparency. we had a foot patrol removed while i sat on the cab. [chime] >> next speaker, please. >> how're you all doing? >> into the mic, please. >> the elephant in the room as far as this conversation is, when i was growing up, i was the enemy. if you go to the high schools and ask them how they perceive the police, i would like the next police chief to keep that in mind. if you don't close that gap, we are not getting anything done as far as community policing. we have to work with our people and we have to educate the usyoh about what the police do. how many people, when police get behind you, check to see if you are speeding? a teacher asked that oat a city college. if it wasn't for a police officer, we would pro

karen travers has the story from washington, and karen, unlike the 2008 campaign, republicans this time seem to be playing the waiting game. >> reporter: that's right, bianna. these republican contenders are taking steps to get into the race, but they're really just baby steps. last night in new hampshire, mitt romney certainly sounded like a presidential candidate. >> it's going to take more than a good speech in this part, more than rhetoric to put americans back to work. it's going to take a new president of the united states. [ applause ] >> reporter: and defending the health care law he put into place in massachusetts while bashing president obama's as too constricting to states. and when former house speaker newt gingrich hits the ground in iowa on monday, he will look like a presidential candidate, and they aren't alone. other republican heavyweights are testing the waters too. mike huckabee, sarah palin, tim pawlenty, all showing signs they may throw their hat in the ring. but with less than a year before the first primary, no republican has shown a willingness to be the first o
