I wonder if the fact that there's a hiring freeze, not enough officers on the streets and no training available for officers, if that has anything to do with this town going crazy. I bet Tandy's having a stroke over the overtime used today to find a violent felon. posted by

You make it sound like Tandy has a grudge against the police department or something, what possible reason could he have to treat the police department so much worse than other city departments with promotions frozen, o.t. cut off, putting citizens and officers at risk with under staffing...jeez what did the BPD do to make him soo mad? posted by

I don't think I'd want a scanner. I don't think I want to know how bad it seems to be out there and know how short staffed law enforcement is. I live in the area patrolled by the SD and don't want to know that my guys backup is at Rio Bravo. posted by

LOL, good one witter, If it were only that simple:) I'm sure Tandy has a difficult job, but it would be easier if he were doing it right all along. Spending tax dollars on the "space between" and a new jumbo tron when we cant afford to keep our citizens safe seems like a 16 year old trying to budget. Maybe he was never taught that want vs need that we working tax paying citizens have to use to balance our own budget also applies to taxpayer funded projects. YOU BUY THE THINGS YOU NEED FIRST AND SPEND ON THE WANTS WITH WHATS LEFT!!! Not the other way around. Now that the above and other pet projects have depleted the budget he wants to make up the difference off the little guys backs. And if he gets away with it, stand by for more.
