Chief Finley addressed the unrest in Baltimore and MPD's formula for avoiding potentially tense situations.



"It can happen anywhere but we know the main ingredient is communication, not that built up unnecessary pressure or that feeling of being oppressed or that feeling of 'us against them' so this is a way we can dissect that 'us against them' and really be personable," he said.



"You can tell they're trying to change everything about the whole police situation so that was a good thing for me to see," Carlos Black added.



His Facebook photos spurred many others to share pics they snapped of Montgomery officers interacting with the public.



The "Park, Walk and Talk" program and community policing will be an ongoing effort.



Finley says members of every uniformed division are required to take between 15 and 20 minutes a day to get out and walk in the community.



MPD says they'll focus on neighbors based on complaints or where there is an uptick in crime.
