We look well staffed on paper, but when you take into account how few officers are actually on the street we are waaaay understaffed. Just a couple people out sick, on military leave, or baby light duty, or post op can decimate a platoon that always runs short. This department has more people on goofy specialty units than you can shake a stick at. Some are necessary, some are not. I am not on SWAT. I always have thought any dept. this size should maintain a full time SWAT unit though. VIPER VIPER
