JCSO relies on taxes they collect to pay for everything which is why they're relatively broke. If the metro council started giving them money, then they could pay more and do more. LMPD is making patrol get by with the nearly same money as a few years ago, while asking for 25% more money for administrative services and support. Giving LMPD $15 million gets a relative handful of real officers because the rest goes to all the office jobs in this department. The metro council could get a lot more law
