[QUOTE]Originally posted by fstryde3: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 306Coupe: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by fstryde3: [qb] Although I am all for community policing walking the beats etc the fact is the dep.t has had a hiring freeze for a while,776 officers does not mean 776 patrol officers, and even if it was that is 776 for 409,186 citizens. And backup you ever been on a code 3 call you'd hope you had some backup too, thanks. [/qb][/QUOTE]I had a code 3 (lights a siren) and it took 4 hours. A police pulled someone over across the street from where I was, I crossed the street and told him I had called the police an hour before, he told me I needed to wait, finished giving the guy a ticket and took off. BTW Oakland has 1.91 officers per every 1,000 residents while the city your a police in has 1.43. Point in saying that I don't believe the city crime level decreases for every police officer it has. Responding to crimes do not reduce crimes Also a city cannot be ran when the police takes up about 80% of it's budget [/qb][/QUOTE]Look man I'm not trying to argue with you here I was working 12 hours shifts and i'm jsut trying to enjoy my Hennessey, but those numbers are way off and nowhere near what we have on the street not even close! Every city, every department is going to have issues I don't deny that but unless you have put on a badge and a vest you have no idea from reading numbers on a website. And yes I chose this line of work no excuses. [/QB][/QUOTE]
