You've just demonstrated your lack of knowledge of policing ... again. If you knew anything about it, you'd know that issues of crime are only a small percentage of police duties. Traffic enforcement, accident investigations, ems calls, lost children, domestic disputes, burglar alarms (a big part and a heavy-duty time waster), and on and on are the daily activities of police officers.
Wow! they do all that for $500 to $1000 per day (shift), plus pension, free healthcare for life and other lucrative benefits?
Sounds like their employers have lots of money to burn and/or are complete idiots.
More often than not, embezzlement is performed in a manner that is premeditated, systematic and/or methodical, with the explicit intent to conceal the activities from other individuals, usually because it is being done without their knowledge or consent. Often it involves the trusted person embezzling only a small proportion or fraction of the funds received, in an attempt to minimize the risk of detection. If successful, embezzlements can continue for years (or even decades) without detection. It is often only when the funds are needed, or called upon for use, that the victims realize the funds or savings are missing and that they have been duped by the embezzler.
PD..please set a fine example of a retired law enforcement officer and obey the rules here. You can not insult people on here by calling them such things as "idiots". I realize you don't like to hear the truth about what people feel of the NCPD but there is no reason to get abusive. Thank you.
Or, perhaps he's just a person that simply doesn't like police officers, and with a lack of knowledge as to what they may or may not do, mostly due to a bevy of sociological and socioeconomic reasons, declines to invest the time to find out?
We all know there's one thing he's not going to find out.
That NCPD and SCPD deserve compensation levels above NYPD based on ACTUAL crime, ACTUAL skill (see NCPD crime lab for just one example), and ACTUAL level of police activity needed.
Even the barest bit of reseach will not lend itself to that conclusion.
It's a union/politician boondoggle to the detriment of all taxpayers on LI, not based in reality.
