Police, fire recruits are on hold. Budget squeeze delays training.

This must be one of our arragant and screwed-up new C.O.s...Your saying we should save money on a two man call by allowing only one officer to respond? Listen idiot, a two man call is a two man call by virtue of the fact that it is deemed more dangerous than other calls for service. Since you advocate saving money over officer safety, please let me know where you work... so I won't...Moron. Compstat pressure getting to ya?

I will never let another policeman get hurt as long as I'm working. The public is secondary to my brothers(and sisters).

PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS: When you take a 2 man run by yourself and things go bad, the first question asked WILL be " why didn't you wait for your backup?"

I don't care if someone wants to be lazy, but don't be dangerous. There is no excuse for that.

We will never hurt the company and even if we did, they would never admit it.

Quit doing this stupid sh!t, advising or cancelling your backup. You will only hurt yourself and the people around you.

You are a complete idiot or a dangerous fool. Which is it?

I cannot beleive that i just read your comment and you actually think you are right. Sir, or maam, who ever you are, please dont ever make that kind of remark again because it shows how inexperienced you are or how stupid you are. Save the city some time? Make difference with the citizens? Please close the door to your office and don't bother the police again.

We are here for the citizens. That's why we as officers do put up with a lot of this stuff from the mayor. AS a officer we try and make it as safe as we can for all citizens. But making a 2 person run with 1 car is unsafe. You may get away with it 100 times but it only takes once and it could cost someone their life( citizen or officer.) they make them 2 car runs for a reason. I agree don't do things for crime-stat Do them because it's the right thing to do. the life thats saved is somebodys loved one. thank you
