Where are you, approximately?
I don't hardly see officers drive down our street any more. Our area isn't too bad (knocking on wood). Better than "even" I'd say, but still we had some issues with stolen cars being dumped, and some street folks/druggies making problems for local businesses. It's probably been a year or a little more that we'd see the PPD drive down our street a couple three times a week. That wifey could get PPD/EMT to the store when she called 911 for a problem customer/slip-&-fall. We seldom see police anymore. We hear the sirens of fire trucks/EMT and PPD on a regular basis in the near distance though. I literally have a profound sadness come over me when I see, read or think of our PPD officers.And what they have had to endure from the elected elites and communities they are there to serve.
Approximately 160 miles or so south of you right now. At least this time living in Oregon. On my second stint of residence in OR.
I wish I saw more LEOs in my neighborhood. Once in a blue moon they come wander through. Usually young kids. Younger than me young kids! The local LEOs have their hands full with the homeless coming south and the druggies. I know the county medical examiner. Poor guy is always busy. Good guy, don't know how he does the job. I think they are so busy with the forementioned crap that I never even see them pull someone over. I've seen hit and runs, road rage, all manners of traffic violations but never anything done about it. People now regularly run red lights in town, every morning on the way to work people are doing 50-60MPH through town in the 30 zone dodging between cars, trucks and log trucks. I've seen them almost hit people crossing the road too. Either nobody cares or they are too busy elsewhere. Our city police chief is a POS that actively holds grudges and uses his position to take them out on businesses.
