Chief Conrad tells Rotarians making city safe is top goal

It is not very productive riding two man cars. It has been tried and tested. Burbrink is just feeling a little nostalgic. LPD knew manpower was wasted whenever a two man car is tied up on a report. It has nothing to do with officer safety because it's been proven in the last 20 years that one man cars are no less safe than two man cars.

Yes- it absolutely was because of car shortages. There were not enough pool cars to be used by officers coming to work who didn't have a take home car, so they doubled up.
