Authorized Ratio

 

Despite the department hiring 100 officers in the last two years, West Precinct still only has 88 of its 137 authorized officers. 

 

 

 

Splashing

 

Splashing water on a person overdosing on Fentanyl never helps.

 

 

The Consequences of Appointments and Promotions

 

Due to position appointments and promotions, as of Thursday, we will have a total of 26 officers on the shift.

At one time, 25 was a daily minimum for the shift.

 

 

Down 7

 

By 2248 hrs, AMR was down 7 for medical transport calls.

 

 

Input and Outcome

 

The city boasts of hiring 100 officers in the two years, but they do not mention the more important numbers.

How may of those officers have completed the basic academy?

How many of those officers have resigned or have been terminated?

How many officers have recently made probation?

 

 

Public Order

 

After an unprecedented number of "most peaceful" protests in 2020 and 2021, the brass in the pond believe the problem in crowd control management was a unique culmination of compounded evens without considering they repeatedly placed the rank and file into unwinnable scenarios and then, blaming officers for the outcomes. 

 

 

Stolen Car Quiz

 

For those of you playing at home, the answer to, "How many cars are stolen per day in the Pond?"

The answer is 30. 

 

 

The New Prowlers

 

It took East six hours to wreck one of the new FIUS. 

 

 

New Cars

 

The 66 new Ford FIUs the city purchased have yet to be sent to the precincts.

Our MDTS are from 2004. The city can no longer purchase them from the company, so Fleet Services take the tablets from 2013 and 2015 FIUs and the handful of Impalas set to be retired. The Vic is being kept until I retire. 

Then, the fuel sensors do not recognize the city fuel pumps. The department purchased the wrong ones. It is a $1000 per unit mistake. The city is looking for individual key sensors for each unit, but since cars are not assigned to officers, the keys are expected to disappear.
