Public Safety Meeting at Leilani Community Center

[punafish]

I agree with Carey: if we are short on police, then why the hell do they all hang out together in one spot? I often see 3 police cars driving together; I also saw two police officers a couple weeks ago "supervising" construction work on the road several days ago, a job that the construction company could have assumed. Should construction be a priority for our men in blue?

If dogs are threatening and attacking people, it should be a priority. Playing armchair Police commissioner here (while knowing absolutely nothing about managing a police force , this would be my hierarchy of priorities in terms of response times based on examples cited above:

1) Murder cases/missing persons--get there and gather evidence while it's still warm
2) Assault cases--whether the attacker is a dog or a human, the victim is still hurting--probably more when tangling with a dog
3) Accidents and Preventive Drunk Driving Measures--more routine than the 3 above, so will and should take most of the officers' time
4) Property crimes (assuming no assault)

If the victim can show the police where the dog is and identify the dog and its owner, why would we need a DNA test?

The owner is responsible for his/her dog. Call me old fashioned, but I say hold 'em responsible.

Mug shots? LOL.
