This police department has too much money. A budget cut would clarify priorities nicely.

The mayoral candidates say how they will put more officers out on the streets.

How about scaling back the number of multi-officer ticketing operations and put them on PATROL instead?

What’s more, the officers say that Houston streets are too dangerous (too much violent crime) and that they want all patrol cars to have 2 officers. If the officers don’t feel safe in this town, how are the citizens supposed to feel about driving around alone at night?

Exactly. I agree with you. A department that has undercover officers to spare, and can devote resources to going after normal citizens is a department that has too many officers.

As you say, a budget cut would clarify their priorities.
