Over the years, we've had discussions about “community policing” and the return of police officers roaming the streets to keep the peace.

In Atlantic City last month, Officer Riley Flynn was patrolling an area of Maryland Avenue when he noticed a commotion on the sidewalk. As he approached the scene, he saw a young woman hanging from the second story window of a house that was clearly on fire with black smoke coming from it.
