Enough is Enough!

They need to open records the rundowns for each shift in each division and see how few officers are actually patrolling the area at any given time. No, the lies of flex or detectives doing patrol is false. It is not unusual to have as few as 7 (or even 5) officers patroling huge or crime infested areas of Metro. That is simply not enough to do any kind of effective patrol.

They need to see how many officers have retired since merger and how drastically our experience level has come down. Officers are leaving as soon as the possibly can. Hell, they are leaving before their retirements for other careers. You never used to see this. This mayor and this chief are chasing all of the exerience away and then leaving holes where the vacancies are.

They need to show how many officers we are down and how crime is up overall. This city is in dire straigts. We, as an FOP, have done a very poor job of getting the message out. We need to hammer the public with the truth every single day until we can get some of that "change" this city so desperatley needs.
