Perhaps data mining will succeed where common sense hasn't in convincing the East Precinct to walk the streets and parks within a couple blocks of the station. Cal Anderson and Pike/Pine are regularly sites of hate crimes, brawls, muggings, and shootings, but I rarely see any on-foot police presence. Seems like it would be easy-mode patrol - grab a coffee, walk outside, and spook a few punks into moving along instead of sticking around.
