He has imbedded himself with several commissioners, lets look what he has achieved, most if not all the good old boys have been promoted in one way or another, most are the same officers who were creating the brutality we experienced, one was given a great reference and left for a better job. Despite all marked units having two radar units (front and rear)in each marked veh, he orchestrated 350 K for the designated traffic unit, adding the rainbow fleet ghost marked cars and stripping patrol of 5 officers , then it was his idea for the tank, a surplus army veh was not good enough, so he spent 400K on the white good humor truck, but hey its got wings. Now we have the new station, proposed near the post office, to have an indoor range, garages for vehicles, lavish office space for admin, indoor training facilities to include a video shoot/don't shoot range. kitchen facilities etc. The dispatchers will stay in the pink castle along with records. It is mentioned about sub stations, they will come later but the emphasis is on the new proposed 40 million dollar station, not 30 as they state. Its all a shame, the evidence is purposely being hoarded, to authenticate there dreams, the parking lot is cluttered with unused auction bound vehicles. Make no doubt about it the Asst chief has the majority of the commissioners either BS or star struck. The police admin does not care, they have a 17-18 million dollar budget, making great money, all new top of the line police SUV's and despite hiring dozens of new officers at a cost of at least 45 K each, patrol is still short uniformed officers. They state five or ten yrs down the line NP will explode, most likely but then they will state this new proposed station will be insufficient and need more. We have a state of the art station now, the commission should tell the CM to have the PD clean up its evidence backlog and work with what they have. If the commissioners moves forward now then you will see the fix is in, three of the five are termed out, let the new commission decide
Once again, Clueless is back. You have a messed up mind to think that this is all being fabricated to build a new station. Something needs to be done about the growth at the PD. The Commissioners previous and current have toured our facility, met and toured with staff to see the issues at our PD. Now, since you do not work for the PD, why don't you schedule a meeting with the Chief, who would gladly give you a tour of the facility so you can get all your facts straight before spouting off what you think. If this was all the Asst Chief's doing then why would the our Chief be pushing the need as well? The fact is that any normal person would see the issues the PD is having and would agree. So let's clear up some of your misinformation.

Our patrol vehicles have had radars in them for nearly two decades now. Traffic is one of the biggest complaints in our City.

In 2017 the PD requested a two phase implementation of our now traffic unit.
These were additional Officers hired each year, not stripped from patrol.

Our department staffing is at the highest its ever been. Last update was the PD currently has 6 openings now to fill and four more beginning in April of 2020.

Your property evidence theory is so far from the truth I am not even going to respond. I could be here all day responding back. But then again that's what makes you clueless.

So who ever you are, I have seen our Commissioners in our PD touring our facility, meeting with support staff asking questions and spending time on the job to understand what we do and what our responsibilities. We have even heard them out doing a ride-a -long

So thank you to our Commissioners who take the time to come and see how our agency operates and to take the time to understands the issues and rising concerns of space needs at our PD.
