I believe we have a responsible and reasonable police force in torrance, I also believe that the police men and women are genuinely concerned about our well being and are out to protect us rather than harass for no reason. The police in my encounters have been fair and also responsible on the job. As far as crime I do have a concern for a few break ins that have occurred in the day time because not many people are home because they are out at work, but overall I feel like my neighborhood looks out for one another as well and reports any suspicious behavior.
