I don't know.
What our command staff is doing is reallocating resouces, meaning shifitng resouces from one station to another. For example, after the numerous assaults on Asians on the 3rd St Corridor in the Bay View and Ingleside, Command staff has reassigned additonal officers to those areas on a 30-60 day loan. So those officers who will be there for a brief time won't have the time to establish rapport with the residents and merchants on the 3rd st corridor or the bayshore corridor in the Inglside district.

Generally speaking, I would say yes.
