This has traditionally been a slow jurisdiction and a lot of people don't take the job as seriously. That's not just an LMPD problem either. The landscape is changing, there's more gang activity, more stranger on stranger murders, more international links in the dope trafficking world, but the decision makers are still stuck in 1985 or just want to keep things the same until retirement. They're taking home $100,000 to $180,000 for putting things on auto-pilot. Until the leadership is fixed the officer troubles will continue. A fish rots from the head down.

Well, Vegas is due west of here and not hard to find. If you are missing it so much and did such a good job, I am sure they would love to have you back.

Instead of complaining about a situation, do something about it. Don't just stand on the sidelines and gripe that somebody else needs to do something. Maybe you can help create that team spirit you so long for and start locking up real criminals. Your attitude in life almost always determines your altitude in life - bne positive and encourage those around you.
