LMPD has never understood the importance of making sense of the crime intelligence or anything more than a superficial understanding of how to do it. RTCC should be doing that. Instead they watch cameras, watch shot spotter and read internet websites.

There's no bandaid solution here. They have to hire in a staff of people who have a basic understanding of crime intel. That will be hard to do when the incumbents think they're those people, but they're not, and can block it.

They should just forward their phones to Crimestoppers if they don't have enough people to answer the damn phone. They could also forward all the calls to the major crimes commander or support bureau assistant chief to give them something productive to do, since the chief makes all the decisions in the department.

That's 582-CLUE or 582-2583. Real live people answer their phones.

A friend of mine was astounded that you can go to divisions at night and find no one to answer the door - he said its like Mayberry ... but at least Sarah knew where to find Sheriff Andy!
