I absolutely agree, I am in a specialty unit but agree, uniform patrol is the backbone of LMPD. Shame so many forget that and where they came from. Chief shows his ineptitude with leadership whe he makes those statements to the Metro Council or any group/media outlet.

The name of the unit and uniform doesn't really matter. There are a number of prerequisites for a street crimes or gang unit to be effective, like an effective department-wide policing strategy, a countergang strategy, the proper training, leadership who was at one time in their career effective at countergang and street crimes enforcement, money to pay informants and partner law enforcement agencies and adequate numbers of officers and detectives supporting countergang activities . LMPD has none of that. It's not a priority with the Mayor or the Chief, so there is no solution to be had. They are still stuck like broken records on discredited community policing proverbs from the 1990s.

curfew might be the answer

if the citizens in the west end really want to stop all the senseless killings maybe a curfew is the answer. i know its not politically correct and many good citizens will be inconvenience but it looks like all the left wing ACLU crap is not working. just put it out if you have a legit reason to be out your ok and if you get stopped (and you will) just do what the officer asked and you'll be on your way and if not well......will people get pissed absolutely but the bad guys also will get caught. my two cents
