When I was in elementary school in the '70s, we used to have "Officer Friendly" come by once a month to talk to our class and interact with the us. Most of us grew up trusting the police and interacting in a very friendly and warm way. Most of the kids I see around today have little respect for the police, and even less trust - it has become more of a fear based relationship.
I know these monthly interactions in elementary school weren't the entire reason for the way we now think of and interact with police (parents have a lot to do with kids' respect for authority), but it sure as hell contributed.
