Greeley and Crime

[sooteal]

I have lived in Washington DC, Maryland and NJ -- all areas with lots of diverse populations & high crime.
Crime in Greeley??
-- yes there is some, but it is a safe town. Use ordinary common sense

UNC is a great school. Greeley a nice community. My daughter went there recently and I went 30 years ago. I never worried about her there as I did when we lived near DC

It is sad to see that the police are slow to react to crime and I suspect that this is something that is going to get worse as state and local tax revenues decrease.

When I flew into Denver a couple of months ago, there was a policeman patrolling the passenger pickup area. We were waiting for my daughter to pick us up and got talking to this young policeman. He said he was a Denver cop but since the Feds pay his salary when he works at the airport, his employer sends him to the airport instead of working in Denver. Naturally, the people of Denver are losing out because their police officers are not patrolling their streets.

So what happens when people do not have adequate support from their local police force? I suppose people will be forced to take the law into their own hands. As the US economic situation gets worse (and it will since the jobs have shifted overseas), the decrease in law and order will get pretty damn ugly.
