00:00I guess they make an impact. They must do, otherwise they wouldn't have them.
00:04I'm not sure. I think, yeah, I imagine they do something,
00:10but I know there's only a limited amount of things that they can do right.
00:14I think they're valuable in the communities, the special officers,
00:18because I think they get closer to the community,
00:21and I think if they work hand in hand with the proper police force,
00:25I think it's of some value. Yes, I do.
00:29I think those community police officers probably serve...
00:33I know they're not police officers, but they're probably quite useful.
00:36Oh, yeah, I think they are, yeah.
00:38The more presence on the streets, the more the better.
00:41I haven't had a lot of experience with the police,
00:44but in theory I think it's good to have people in uniform
00:48with some degree of liaison with the main force,
00:52so I would certainly think it's worth continuing
00:57that kind of approach.
