I swear I'm not trying to play devils advocate here, but I think there may be a lot of assumptions in your last comment. My guess, (and this is just a guess) is that police officers in most areas of the country are required to take some sort of continual training. Also, my guess is that the certain amount of community out reach, in the matter you suggest are already occurring and is mandatory.

You might be right. If so, I'd like to know how much community engagement is required, and what qualifies.

It could be a matter of quality, or both.

without a doubt. Things like community service often become a box to be checked instead of something meaningful to engaged in.
