Knock And Talk

[Why?Town]

Selling drugs is only one item on a very long list of reasons that some one may not allow unexpected visitors in for a talk.

Is the "frequently placed cruiser" manned? Could the cruiser and/or patrolman be better used somewhere else?
 
Is this really a good use of resources?

JRS talked about it at the block watch meetings. I do not know if they started doing it. I know the cruisers park next to each other alot and talk, if that counts..

Does anyone have more information about the YPD Knock and Talk program?

It's my understanding that the method is employed when someone reports a suspected drug house.  Police visit the house and ask to be invited in for a talk.  If the resident refuses to grant entry, the YPD then frequently places a cruiser outside the house to scare the "customers" away.
