Philly allows a smidgen of safety to its police.

"(He) inches sideways against the brick wall, grasps and turns the knob, throws open the door.
          Nothing.
          Silence but for the driving music and the door that bounces back and bangs against the outside wall.
          He enters, praying that his back-up will be along soon...
          What happened to ‘partners’? Cops used to make calls with sidekicks. Eliminated because of cut-backs, he muses. Partners-- that was a good thing. He notices that every great idea is discarded."
From Discipline
