Thank You Dr Kral!

Thanks so much for the support, Dr. Kral.....Do you do P.R? You would be a great voice to help us get our point of view out there...Again, thanks!

Sir,

Could you please write a letter to the mayor and anyone else and tell him what you think? He hates the police but lies to the public and syas public safety is his primary goal. He has taken away from our contract two years ina row and does not mind it one bit. He is now going after teh fire dept. Please get the word out and get rid of this Bum! He spends money for projects that will fatten his pockets (4th St Live) and doesnt think of the cities financial status.

Thank you, Dr. You have no idea how much your support means.

Thank you Dr. Kral for your support and for voicing your opinion. It carries more weight than you can imagine. We simply want to do our jobs, and need support. It is a travesty to have to fight the very administration that should be on our side. --LMPD Officer

On the front page of Saturday's Courier-Journal, Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson stated: "City to furlough workers 3 days". Police, Fire, Emergency Medical services would NOT be affected. Everyone knows we are in a financial crisis. However, what we are not told is that the Louisville Metro Police are being asked to either pool their

Patrol cars that they take home, loose their pay raise, or pay $150/month to take home the cars.

Our brave men in uniform, who put their lives on the line for us every day, are under-paid, often disrespected, and

Work long hours. Statistically, their income is one of the lowest in the country for a city of this size. What the Mayor doesn't realize is that by taking home their patrol cars there are three times as many Police cars on the road, compared to a single Police shift, where only one third as many cars are on the road. This is certainly a "deterrent to crime". When a Police car is present, people do not know if the officer is on

Duty or not. Decreasing the number or police cars on the road could lead to more crime. I personally feel safer seeing more police cars present, and believe many other Louisville residents would agree. The City also has a hiring freeze on any new police training and enrollment.

I implore the Mayor and the City of

Louisville to allow our Police to continue to take their patrol cars home for this reason, WITHOUT penalizing them financially. Certainly, the Mayor can suspend or cancel some of the ?non-essential? projects the City is planning or paying for. The welfare, safety and security of our citizens must ALWAYS be TOP PRIORITY!
