Hosts Ruben Navarrette and Bob Harrison get a Chief's perspective as this episode's guest is Chief Roxana Kennedy of the Chula Vista Police Department, a large city within San Diego County. In the words of Chief Kennedy, the challenges of the present are opportunities for dramatic improvement, with a greater than ever need for both the police and the public to put themselves in the shoes of the other. Through mutual understanding, community policing will become better. But she also emphasized the importance of officers actively engaging with the community as much as possible and the need to get out of the car and talk to kids, talk to shop owners! Her most important role? Communicating values and expectations to her officers and the need for the entire community to buy into the values.
