A Little Common Sense Goes a Long Way
Two great quotes from a hero of mine, Sir Albert Einstein:
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Not necessicarily in that order.
You can't gain imagination from a book, it is inherent.

So what you are saying is: working like a mindless robot without imagination means one is really a moron?
On another note, we should all be mindful about how we raise our kids. Being a militaristic robot at home leads to your son being a Gothic misfit. You know, your son will be an introverted weirdo with no social skills because he was raised to be a whipped and skittish dog because daddy was a psychopath.

Wow! That was out of left field. Is that what you really took from that? It means you can have all the education and degrees you want, but without knowing how to apply the knowledge it is useless.

Re: A Little Common Sense Goes a Long Way
And I can tell you that without some sort of ILP who is going to monitor all the vital information that we are placing into our system. You make it sound as if it would be better for us to go back to paper reports and a paper filing system.
The real problem is that until our employees, including supervisors, support the ILP concept it will not work. Now is that the fault of those within those units? I think not.

Re: A Little Common Sense Goes a Long Way
Hey A.J. I agree that the ILP concept is a good thing and can help take a bite out of crime but I'm a zone guy and have been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest lately. I read the daily ILP bulletins. I actually do, but could they please quit putting "see spreadsheet" and just list the dang info on the original page. Plain and simple, I'm pretty sure the rest of the patrol guys and gals don't have alot of time to click on this and click on that while were driving from one call to the next. Hell I have a hard enough time just keeping up with the hundreds of emails each week that really don't pertain to me let alone the one's that do.

If we took time to actually read every line of every email we got, and then took the time to comprehend every email in its proper context, that would take a minimum of 3 hours each work day.
