Get `em out of their cars and into the community.

This is one of my pet peeves! I cannot stand when officers drive around with their windows rolled up. It disconnects them from the community. It limits their ability to hear and smell what is going on around them. I always told them to roll down their front windows, turn on the AC or heater to full blast and actively seek the bad guys. When it rains, I had them roll up the front windows, but roll down the back windows unless of course they had someone in custody. Each and every one of them knew to never let me catch them with their windows up, unless they were in a pursuit or driving with their overhead lights and siren activated because we cannot hear their radio transmissions.
It doesn't snow in LA, so I am not sure how that would work in those areas.
