Traffic laws broken daily, rise in crime as Inflation gets worse.

Police prefer not to address issues in the less affluent areas of town to focus on the more well financed neighborhoods. Response rates, even to gun sightings, of an hour plus not uncommon. Empty promises by beat officers that prefer to do nothing rather than write a report and do their job.

I have also been the victim of the police department not caring about the community because of it.

The fact there is not already one or any attempt at common sense enforcement speaks volumes in it's own right. Maybe we need another department and a 10 year study.......

We used to have government funded mental institutions that would have handled this, but Reagan handed this off to the states who didn't have the money to continue funding.

They spent all of the money on the Left leaning group.

If the City passes this, the homeless will not go away. They will move into the surrounding neighborhoods. Your children will step over the homeless as they walk to school and you will hear screaming all night long..
