Friends pulling up childhood friends through the ranks. And in turn, they think they EARNED something. Its quite disgusting. You don't need to knowledge or ethics to move up in that place. Just the will to screw the right people and after that, screw more in a different manner. It takes a criminal to catch a criminal they say.

The problems that plague the Downtown District are a public safety issue and should be address by the APD. The business owners are just that; business owners, not coppers. The APD area commander through their staff should be handling this problem utilizing a “POP” track or the SARA model. What ever happened to community policing? <br /><br />One of our former Mayors, Jim Baca, had a saying when he was upset because someone like Chief Schultz was not doing their job. Jimmy would say, “If I have to go down there and handle this myself; that means I don’t need you!” <br /><br />Thank you for placing your name to your post,<br />Respectfully,<br />The EyeStealthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731275811633047695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-24384580152013926812011-08-10T13:21:51.802-06:002011-08-10T13:21:51.802-06:00TJ, DOJ's gonna want to know about the locker ...TJ, DOJ's gonna want to know about the locker combinations, where they are and what's in them. <br /><br />Might want to give Peaches a heads up.<br /><br />BOO!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-30668665949629943672011-08-10T12:51:12.205-06:002011-08-10T12:51:12.205-06:00"Every bar owner needs to be required to hire..."Every bar owner needs to be required to hire 'Chief's Overtime'..."<br /><br />What?

Sure, there seems to be a crisis of leadership in the department but guess what, the same issues exist in the corporate world too. <br /><br />Maybe the poll wasn't scientific but I would have to agree with it and bet most of my friends would as well.<br /><br />As for the mayor's plan of getting more families into the downtown area to make it safer-what? More people so the odds of you being the one targeted go down? I've not had any personal dealings with the mayor, I did with Marty and he flat lied to my face, but so far... not really impressed.<br /><br />I think some of the reactions to the piece on the union were telling as well. Corruption amongst the leadership of the city is wrong but the unions get a pass? Selective righteous indignation? Be consistent or you lose credibility with us unbiased bystanders.<br /><br />I'm sure there are many good people within APD, trying to protect the public, putting their lives on the line.
