I can't praise them enough! They do a great job and don't get paid nearly enough for what they do.

A report for what? We doing your homework or something?

The good: They are here to protect us. They do a good job for the most part.

The bad: They can not prevent or solve all crime.

lawyers, and citizens bent on suing the police department have ruined our police services.
the people that call for the police are usually the ones that file a complaint and suit. service was great 25 years ago. the bad economy has made them much more focused on safer activities like giving tickets rather than protecting citizens. law suits have changed our country.

If we need police help call 911 and wait and wait and wait...about 1.5 hrs to get here, maybe 45 min if someone happens to be close by..
Guess that's why everyone down here carries.....lock and load...

Is that because it is graded on what type of crime it is? I know from other cities and states, they will attend to calls that are more serious then others. Sort of like a ER. But thank you for your response.
