AGREEEEEEE 100% Patrol is really the backbone... but LMPD command clearly doesn't give a ***** about patrol.

The summer task forces are nothing new and neither are the federal task forces on violent crime. They are just announcing it as if its new to make the public think they have a handle on the situation. They don't and thats because nobody in charge has ever played big city police before. Its run very much like a small city PD. Patrol is not going to stop the kind of organized drug trafficking gangs behind many of the homicides. Neither are low level seizures like the department is used to doing on occasion. The feds will probably take the lead for anything that might be different.

If you don't have backup, then just tell them you will wait until backup arrives per policy. Good luck to whoever tries to suspend anyone for that at the merit hearing.
