HPP under attack!!!!

I'm sure many care. The patrol officers will get callous if they just run from one call to the next and don't have the opportunity to personally follow up on their calls. The detective bureau is also probably under staffed and only has time to investigate violent or high profile cases. With Police Departments, you do largely get what you pay for. Of course it is up to the Chief to properly allocate what resources he/she does have.

I think the Police Commission should have a bit more power to hire and fire and the Police Commission should probably be appointed by the County Commission as opposed to the Mayor.
