I think our chief means well and has given us some things to be thankfull for. The tasers, rifles, and the take home cars to name just a few, but Chief some things need to change.
1. We need to treat the patrol officers like gold. We need to give them whatever they need and want. We need to stop cancelling their days off and give them days off when they want them. If there is not enough staffing we need to make off duty assignments that will increae staff and enable the patrolman to have the time off they want.
2. The accident policy needs to be changed to do away with some of these minor 1 vehicle cruiser accidents and make them traffic incidents. I have never heard of our police department conducting an accident investigation of another city department for a gas nozzle, blown tire, bumping a pole, or other minor incidents. Why are they not reporting the accident.
3. It is not the big stuff that is causing officers to leave, it is the small stuff. Your patrol people are the ones leaving in big numbers not Cis, Vice, K-9, or Siu.
Why don't officers from local agencies come to us????? Chief we need to make some changes and make them public to the worker bees. Your the chief and can make a difference, you mean well and we appreciate all you have done.
