First sit in the front window for 24 hours a day and then you may have a question.
An officer on a main road can observe ( as trained ) and stop suspicious vehicles. He can observe hundreds of vehicles and people compared to a few driving around your neighborhood.
Driving down a side street may make you think your safer but as in all police work it's being in the right place at the right time.
Neighbors should be more knowledgeable as who belongs on the street.
There are times I drive the side roads and it looks like an abandoned town.
If you call the police and no one shows than you'll have a complaint but until just say thank you to the Village watch.
One of the better posts I have read today.
