And you haven't even tried to address a single fact I stated.

You still don't know the solutionn rate for crimes in your town. You don't know the size of the PDs budget or the headcount. You don't know the cost of a solved crime.

If you don't know these things, you can say "Gosh they're a bunch of great guys." but so are a lot of over priced f---ups. The PD is often the second biggest line item in a town's budget after schools. How do you think taxpayers in your town would react if they learned it cost $100,000 to solve a $1000 burglary? Your hubby's job might be on the line.

2. The budget for the police department in 2002 was three million dollars.

3. The population in my community is about thirty thousand.

4. The size of my community is about fourty eight square miles in area.....about the size of Disney World.

5. They are the fifth busiest town police department in NY state.

6. The police respond to about thirty thousand service calls a year.

7. They are one of a very few police agencies to work a murder case and get a conviction without the victims body.

New flash Eno....this department has been up and running for thirty five years and not one citizen has been killed by a police officer.

Also.....police officers don't recieve training on how to kill someone....it's all defense training!
