Police Athletic Leagues (PALs) have done more to promote good policing than anything I can think of; cops get to know the kids in the neighborhoods that they service, kids get to know the "good cops", and you end up building durable community relationships that you can lean on when pursuing folks (no one wants crime in their neighborhood, but you've got to see people as people first).
Money helps; better engagement helps more.
