Is that what you call better policing? No thank you I will gladly spend the money needed for our police department because I enjoy a two minute response. I remember back in the day when someone burglarize my car, it took a deputy over two hours to respond. Not to mention the Pasco Sheriff’s Office loses on average 10 to 15 deputies a month by them quitting or being fired. I believe in the month of January 2019 they lost 29 deputies (fired),most of which right out of the police academy. If you desire the sheriff’s office I suggest you move in the unincorporated area of Port Richey.
