From each who behaves to each that misbehaves. We make an officer great so they transfer him to where they are inclined to shoot officers, don’t pay much tax and generally misbehave.

Assigning volunteer police chaplains to specific police sectors where their respective congregations are located serves two purposes. 1)Clergy is known in the community and are privy to issues in their specific neighborhood. 2) A PD has an additional voice in the community to relay police initiatives. The communications between police and citizens becomes much more effective. PD chaplains’ presence in the community contributes significantly to community policing.

FFF, as part of our effort to improve the Francis green space, had recently begun to talk with him about how we can address the ongoing issue of illicit activities that occur within Rock Creek Park around both Francis-Stevens School and the residences on M, N and 25th Streets, NW. From the onset and quite expeditiously, he offered a breadth and depth of knowledge about our neighborhood, patterns of behavior, safety measures attempted in the past and future ideas about how we can tackle what feels like an intractable issue. It is this level of understanding of a neighborhood that residents need, want and expect in our police leaders. The level of experience within specific neighborhoods directly impacts the quickness and consistency in the police's ability to react to the unique crime and safety issues we face. Friends of Francis Field strongly supports his continued work within PSA 207 as has been articulated by our Advisory Neighborhood Commission, the citizens associations and major corporate organizations.
