One of the main issues that NO candidate talked about. We pay a small fortune for policing. Until we get the slum, blight and crime situation under control, you can forget about people wanting to come here and invest money in homes and businesses. Begin with the basics and everything else will get better. Police are reactive, not proactive. Criminals are not scared of them. So, ponder that thought. Would private security be better? We already get the extra benefit of helicopters, etc. with PBSO in our county taxes. And STOP telling us that crime is down...

See you still want to get rid of pbso, maybe Karie too.
ReplyDeleteSorry everyone else likes them
We had a police study done 4 years ago--Willdan Policing Study that was presented to Lake Worth showing us a plan to have our own police department once again and saving $3 million dollars a year. Joe De Ladurantey of Willdan did say that the City would save millions by having its own police department. activists such as Mary Lindsey fought it.
ReplyDeleteSome truly believe that we have superior safety protection with PBSO--that no other police force could do better. We HAVE NO PROTECTION from criminals. Absolutely NONE.
Yes and if we had out own P.D. Within a month we would have all the Gangs back. Is that what you want Lynn.
ReplyDeleteI am fully in favor of PBSO, but I agree crime is THE issue and we are not getting the level of service that we are paying tons of money for. We clearly have a major crime problem, the city leadership should be all over it, and it's crickets, no one talks about it, none of them.
ReplyDeleteThey held a special meeting to address supposed voting problems after lw2020 that impacted a few people (an important issue too) yet crime that impacts hundreds of us is ignored. Let's have an open mtg, let's have city leadership, let's have PBSO leadership, let's do something.
The Gangs were broken up by the Feds, RICO with help from the PBSO.
ReplyDeleteWe still get help from the PBSO when we need it and pay for this help through county taxes.
Why don't you get the fact that they are NOT stopping crime or preventing it in any way, shape or form and in fact, have asked for all of us to be on the look-out for suspicious people wandering around. Can it get much worse? Do you see good representation of policing in our city?
We pay more per resident than anyone in the county who contracts with PBSO.
Petty crime.
ReplyDeleteToo bad we don't have anybody looking out for the tax payer's welfare in this administration. Bornstein? What negotiations? WHY,WHY,WHY is it O.K. for P.B.S.O. to charge us more than anybody else?
