I understand that Ms. Hinman. For some reason I find that many of your comments on this site come off as confrontational. Perhaps you do not mean that to be so and it is the medium at hand that is to blame. In any case, just for reference we are on the same team here. 
I am simply saying there are measures our city can take to make the city more appealing to Officers and I think we should take them. I was at Zola's and found out the city is actually down 10 patrol officers. That is more than "a vacancy to fill." According to the annual report I found on the website there are only 58 patrol officers anyway. That sounds like quite the obstacle to face. Let's give the men and women behind the badge incentive to come to and serve our great city. That's all I am suggesting. You are free to disagree, but we both want the same thing perhaps just with different ideas to make it happen.
