The financial crunch experienced by Hamilton and municipalities all over the state was probably the reason we no longer see police officers "walking the beat" in high traffic-high crime areas. It was a really comforting feeling knowing that there was a viable "hands on" effort by the police to maintain community and neighborhood order. The neighborhood got to know the police officer, and the officer was familiar with the neighbors under his charge.
