San Diego police officers parked their cruisers and put their boots on the ground Wednesday night in Mira Mesa, all in an effort to reengage with neighborhood residents.
Members of the SDPD command staff, including Chief Dave Nisleit, joined the so-called safety walk, too.
It was a chance for officers to reconnect and reassure the community they serve, District 6 City Councilmember Chris Cate said. Sgt. Sainsanoy spread good cheer, and also handed out business cards with QR codes that connect people to the SDPD website. The safety walk initiative is also promoting the use of online crime reporting.
Some crimes go unreported when there is no suspect information, injuries reported or leads in the case, according to Sainsanoy. But for insurance purposes, a police report is necessary. It also alerts police to chronic problems.
