Sounds like a regular sausage fest.
ROGER DODGER	2012-07-02 09:27 AM
We have homicides?
COMMENT 293336	2012-07-02 09:29 AM
Maybe they can look into people being beat up by cops. They've lost my cooperation.
COMMENT 293352	2012-07-02 09:56 AM
So they haven't had these capabilities for the last hundred plus years? Or is this a reason for more funding?
COMMENT 293358	2012-07-02 10:04 AM
For some reason I don't feel any safer...
COMMENT 293373	2012-07-02 10:33 AM
@352 My thoughts EXACTLY. Just another excuse to bump up pay since there are now "extra" services (that already existed).

I smiled seeing an Edhat item about the SBPD because I knew it would elicit rage from our resident anonymous commenter. :)

It is good to know exactly how the police department is structured since they are asking a lot from our tax dollars. I applaud this new public relations initiative to connect more people in the community to the work a police department actually is asked to do. Sick of the cop bashing that goes on in this town like Pavlovian dogs as much as I hate the police unions strangling our monetary resources. Something candid and saner in the middle of these two extremes will be better for all concerned.

77% of JP Morgan’s Net Income Comes from Government Subsidies The workers at JP Morgan take home far larger bonuses and paychecks than cops. Look at the facts and figures. As unions have declined, worker wages have declined, and corporate profits have gone up. Lay the blame at the correct door.
COMMENT 293405	2012-07-02 11:23 AM
This is a good thing, more specialized training means more crimes solved. More crimes solved means more criminals off of our streets. I can't find the negative side of this like others. And hey, if they learn something new and get increased pay, they deserve it! Just like in our private sector, you learn you earn...shouldn't be any different for public employee's at all.
COMMENT 293406	2012-07-02 11:24 AM
In all my interactions with the SBPD they have been calm, courteous, thorough and professional. I don't understand the ill will to those who work in this City to protect us. When it hits the fan, are you going to call 911 or are you going to try to fix it yourself? Right; didn't think so.
COMMENT 293438	2012-07-02 12:31 PM
@406 - If concealed carry permits were obtainable many would want to fix it him/herself. "When Secounds Count, Your Police Will Be There In Minutes." Much is true in that sarcastic phrase!
COMMENT 293458	2012-07-02 01:56 PM
If the rest of the detectives on the team are as good as Mike Claytor, then this is a very good thing.
ROGER DODGER	2012-07-02 02:04 PM
I have never been treated like scrap by the SBPD, unless I started it first. 3 of em came by last night after some drunkin idoit with scabies and their babies stood on my cats chair to peek into my bathroom window. He fell down and hurt his little bum bum rolling back and forth on the ground. Great guys those coppers very nice. Claytor too.
COMMENT 293406	2012-07-02 02:10 PM
You want them there is seconds? You'll have to pay a whole lot more to hire many, many more of them. They're a city wide police, not your personal security detail. They do a great job. And no I do not think you should carry a firearm everywhere. You scare me.
ROGER DODGER	2012-07-02 03:35 PM
Yea for crying out loud there's no reason to light your arm on fire..Settle down.
COMMENT 293386	2012-07-02 05:18 PM
When the community supports its police because they see and like the jobs they are doing, they don't need police unions to hijack the city budget. Police unions give police a bad name and they need to know this. Turning the poor public relations created by public employee unions into an opportunity to bash corporations or the Occupy 1% shows how out of touch public employee union bosses actually are. Embarrassing actually that they think a "JP Morgan" argument is even germane to this matter. Public employee unions in fact are the worst enemies of public employees. They stand for greed and sloth and are ticking off tax payers big time. Public union members need to opt out and donate their mandated union dues to a charity that actually does something for the community other than feeding union boss fat cats the drivel they dump back on us.
COMMENT 293401P	2012-07-02 06:59 PM
Unions protect wages. Period. Wages have flatlined for the middle class for the last 30 years, whereas corporation profits have increased exponentially. The productivity of Americans has never been higher. Higher productivity BY the middle class = no increase in wages for the middle class = obscene profits for the rich.
COMMENT 293597P	2012-07-02 08:00 PM
You mean this whole time in the year 2012-they didnt have a major crimes csi-Flintstones or real poor MGMT-like the Corey Lyons Investigation (they need to get to the crime scene first) and now they will do all the CSI-gotta see this
COMMENT 293660	2012-07-03 08:42 AM
I think we waste too much county money on cops, road work, suicide barriers instead of schools and good teachers. Per-capita we have way more cops than is needed for this county. What we need is a gang injunction, come down hard on the people who continuously break the law, and get judges who give pedophiles and sex offenders stiffer sentences than 5yrs for raping children. What is more important, having a great educational system and after school programs to shape our youths or paying for more cops to ride around on bikes or be the most up to date in CSI. Cops here get paid almost twice as teachers, is there something wrong with that. I don't trust cops to protect me and my family, especially since most are aggressive and trigger happy. There are a few good cops in this town, a lot of out of county cops with big city thinking, not good.
COMMENT 293386	2012-07-03 10:19 AM
RE: diverting public funds to education Do you plan on firing present teachers, so you can use more money to bring in good teachers? Or, are you telling us we already have good teachers but they are under-performing because they claim they are not getting paid enough? Flesh out your arguments better, please. Thank you.

The uber rich have walked off with the treasury, leaving middle class folks to fight amongst themselves for the scraps.
