I said yes and all STF went above and beyond to help me out. I've never seen them once come along and take any gun arrest, I doubt you can name one case. Usually it's a lazy patrolman that doesn't want to write the case.

The 15 patrol cars you talk about, as far as OT, that's calls for service, not pro active. So yes I think the city of hartford would benefit more if the pro active OT was divided among all units that can do pro active work. I agree with you as far as patrol being the first 1st at a scene . Patrol is the backbone to the department. But I don't agree on the specialty of information stf deals with. Majority of information they get is from patrol and other divisions. You have patrol officers that are far better investigators than stf has. Its all made to seem as they are the answer to all the problems in the city. They are not! Let's ask patrol how many cases have been solved in the streets and they come along and take it. Yes it's happened and many of us know it's happened.

I doubt you informed them that you had been terminated by HPD and gave them the real story. <br /><br />Myself and others figured all along Marcus Garvey was actually you, now you confirmed it , Thanks.

Patrol officers, not STF. Yes they do a good job, they do respond (racing about the city in their unmarked cars) but when that 911 call comes in it a PATROL officer dispatched. The weekend O/T is just to fill the current car plan.

Of course, it would be better if we were to have a vigorous anti-crime and anti-criminal policy at all times, but when things are spinning our of control it is absolutely essential that common sense rather than Open Society ideology prevail. To my knowledge the issue of policing, its funding, strategies, and execution has not come up in the mayoral debates. Is Pedro doing a poor job? Very likely, but not because of insufficient attention to crime's "root" causes.<br />-------------------<br /> “ It’s a very delicate balancing act because while we try to make sure that they (protestors) were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well,” Rawlings-Blake said.<br />----------<br />"The criminals are taking advantage of the situation in Baltimore since the unrest," said Gene Ryan, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3. "Criminals feel empowered now. There is no respect. Police are under siege in every quarter. They are more afraid of going to jail for doing their jobs properly than they are of getting shot on duty."<br />----------<br />"My administration has a clear record of doing all the things that we can do with the resources that we have available to promote opportunities for our young people," Segarra said. "We need to address this spike in a very tactful, strategic way, and I don't want to politicize the issue."<br /><br />Bronin called Thursday for more youth programs and proposed the creation of a Youth Services Corps that would put young people to work on community projects.<br />peter brushnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-78135036150179490902015-05-29T08:17:41.336-04:002015-05-29T08:17:41.336-04:00City leaders should have known the retirement date...City leaders should have known the retirement dates of 3 large recruit classes from 1994 through 1995. Their 20 years are up. Not hiring sooner or anticipating the large number of vacancies is an issue that was never addressed. O/T is not the problem. People are not jealous of the STF despite your attempts to breed that discontent.Patrol officers contact them and feed information on a regular basis. The information flow does not always go back to patrol in a real time manner. Rovella's failure to even acknowledge patrol officers is a much larger issue. The men and woman pushing a cruiser day in and out never see their commander.

You started by putting the blame where it should lay, with Mayor Pedro E Segarra. Could Chief Rovella be more vocal in his staffing needs, definitely. He needs to start involving residents more as well as neighborhood groups in the fight to properly staff HPD . If Chief Rovella is not a fighter on the issue, the residents and neighborhoods losing their Police coverage will be, especially in an election year when we have the power of the voteKEVIN BROOKMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597937634837295016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-89079619771460629862015-05-29T00:29:12.227-04:002015-05-29T00:29:12.227-04:00mayor Caviar has put all our lives in danger by u...mayor Caviar has put all our lives in danger by under staffing and under funding the police.
