Shifts in Police Manpower: Let's Hope it Helps

See today's Capital for a report on a change in police shifts which should lead to 20 instead of 11 officers on the streets during any of three, instead of four previous daily shifts. This is being implemented as one of a number of proposals put forth by Mayor Moyer. This sounds like a positive change. Let's give it some time and hope it works.

I talked to a police officer today, and he liked the way it changes their shift work. But, he said it wouldn't do anything to help compensate for the lack of police officers.

If Moyer continues to think that we have enough police officers, then why doesn't she just eliminate 24 positions in the next budget. Way back when she was Alderman, she ran on filling the vacant positions (we were only 13 officers short then). Since it's been 12 years or so now (and we're now 24 positions short), it would appear that filling those positions is nothing more than something Moyer promises to get herself elected.
