This conversation is part of a larger look at findings from a Public Agenda/WNYC poll of residents in the NY Metro area. Head here for more insight into public opinions on government, policing, inequality, and what matters most.

Will Friedman, Ph.D., president of Public Agenda and Carolin Hagelskamp, vice president and director of research for Public Agenda, discuss the poll findings and what they say about our attitudes toward community policing.
