JUST A THOUGHT

GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU 279. WE ARE ABOUT TO LOSE UP TO 3 MORE OFFICER BY THIS SUMMER. NO ONE WILL ADMIT THEY ARE LEAVING BUT THEY ARE. WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFTEY ISSUE AND ALLOWS FOR POOR POLICE WORK DUE TO SHORTAGE AND HAVING TO GO CALL TO CALL. WHICH MAKES ME WONDER WHY WOULD NEW OFFICERS STAY WHEN THEY COME INTO THIS AND START HEARING ALL THE NEGATIVES. I WANT TO STAY AND MAKE THIS AN AWESOME AGENCY WE HAVE THE BEST OFFICERS WHEN IT COMES TO WORK LOAD AND GOING THE EXTRA MILE. AS FOR THE PENSION REDUCTION I FOR ONE AM VERY GLAD IT MAY COME DOWN. I HAVE ONE QUESTION THOUGH? WHY NOW! EVERY YEAR THEY SAY IT MAY COME DOWN BUT NOPE WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR. WILL THE CITY SAY YOUR PENSION HAS COME DOWN SO WE WILL ONLY GIVE YOU THIS PERCENTAGE OF A RAISE ALONG WITH THE PENSION REDUCTION .. WE NEED A LARGE RAISE ALONG WITH THE REDUCTION DO NOT PUT THE TWO TOGETHER WHEN CALCUALTING A RAISE FOR US. WE HAVE LOST SO MANY IN THE PAST YEAR. THE LAST TWO THAT WERE HIRED WASHED OUT WITHIN TWO MONTHS. I THANK THE EAB BOARD FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT SOME THINGS YOU HAVE BROUGHT UP AND HAVE HAD IMPLEMENTED WERE ASKED FOR IN THE PAST EAB.. SO WHY NOW? WHY WAIT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE TO LEAVE. JUST LIKE IN 2004 WHEN SOME WERE MADE HAPPY TO SETTLE THE FIRE THEY HAD STARTED BUT YET IT BURNS AGAIN. I SEE AND HEAR SUPERVISORS STABBING EACH OTHER FOR THEIR OWN AGENDAS. I HAVE WORKED FOR EVERYONE OF THEM. UNLIKE MOST I REALLY HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF THEM.
