Well, DPD will have some new issues now though, the new Safety Manager is coming from the Supreme Court - Justice Martinez will be announced soon for this position. It will be interesting having that caliber of legal experience running the shows.

I missed this, so...

Instead of patrol duties, they are running a desk. No driving around, no seeing people on the streets. Fine with me! ( After a few years, they will quit.)
When you resign, you get no pension benefits. The city saves a fortune that way. It's all about the money! There is nothing this country you cannot buy. Except me...

So, let me get this right.

A cop can be fired for cause, for example an unlawful use of force that would get plebes like me a lengthy jail sentence, while the cop merely loses his job, and he gets to keep his pension?

Is there something wrong with that picture or is it just me?

its not just you.
but if I Say what I want to say I am getting another time out.

so I will settle with "it's not justice, or any semblance thereof."

Budget issues?

That's the reasoning, though it really doesn't work that way.

If you have a hiring freeze and you have turn over (inevitable) you can't hire replacements, but the hours have to be filled so your experienced officers have to pull overtime, at overtime rates, to fill the hours. Not to mention the experienced officers make %50+ more than a new officer. So really you are spending twice as much to say "we're not hiring new officers to save money."

Adams county and greeley pd are also on hiring freezes, I'm sure there are more.

It's called the union...

Get public employees out of the union, that would solve a lot of these problems.
