00:00I must admit that when I see a police officer in the streets, I do feel a bit more reassured
00:15and also I do find the community police friendly in the UK and also the fact that they're not
00:23wearing weapons.
00:25I would say, yeah, they're quite visible and their presence does make some sort of an impact
00:32in some ways. I don't think I'm too knowledgeable of it many times, but I would say it's definitely
00:38like an influence is there.
00:40No, police aren't visible. They don't feel part of the community. They don't, in my experience,
00:48interact with members of the community. Certainly when I lived in St Paul's, the police were
00:54trusted with suspicion, but equally felt like they treated everybody else who lived in St
00:58Paul's as suspicious.
