Aubrey would need money to start street patrol. He'd also need to come to an agreement with LMPD over who's doing what. Without an agreement, patrolling like that would be stepping into a political hornet's nest and essentially saying LMPD is failing at its job. He's not at a stage in life where a pissing contest is worth it. The Metro Council should hand him the money to hire Deputies and task him through an ordinance to start patrolling if that's what they want.
