As I read through some of the posts on the Wauketown Cop Blog (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.wauktowncop.blogspot.com">http://www.wauktowncop.blogspot.com</a><!-- m -->) I saw the following comment posted several times. "Be safe out there and remember - your first priority is to go home at the end of shift. If it means letting the calls stack up then so be it. Stack 'em up!"
Say what? Don't serve the public in a timely manner?
I thought serving and protecting the public was the "first priority"?
To me it sounds like there may be an effort by patrol officers to not fully serve the public so the public will ultimately complain about long waiting time for police response with the result that any proposed police layoffs or pay cuts would be history.
If you don't want to do your job then quit and let someone who does want to serve the public have your job.
