I think you're right Mac84. We've got around 50K people in my city. I can't go to town and not see someone I know.
Between church, friends, and my kid's sports teams you get to know a LOT of people. And that's not counting work. And then through work you meet people working cases, neighborhood meetings, being in the paper and working through our local association.
A lot of our officers have name recognition with a large portion of those 50K citizens.
