In all seriousness, yes. I sometimes call for noise (music, shouting, banging noises (not that kind)) during late hours, they show up and help.

They also make me feel relatively safe in my god awful neighbourhood.

But... I do see how that isn't very much..

Edit: who tf downvotes this? This is the most lukewarm thing I've posted that day. TIL this community hates all cops indiscriminately, no matter if the cops are good or bad. Great way to alienate good people.
