With all the crime we have in Lake Worth (we pay $1.2 million a month to PBSO), it somehow falls back on the neighborhood citizens to be aware and to help solve. We are continually reminded to "Make the Call" if we see a suspicious person in our neighborhood and form Crime Walk Programs. In the meantime, criminals are taking over our city. They are not afraid of a few citizens walking the streets nor are they afraid of the reactive PBSO.
Now we have Rick Bradshaw whose Sheriff Department has a $555 million budget to make us safe essentially saying the same thing. “The really big thing today is the ‘See
Something, Say Something.’ We’ve been talking about
this for a long time. How many times have you heard this said over the
past week about how important this is?”
He told us, in so many words, that the responsibility to help prevent crime lies with the citizens. As Obama wants to tighten up gun laws, I say we all need to buy one, learn how to shoot it and start packing.
What is the difference between 'make the call ya all'

Hitler's Brown Shirts tattling like good little NAZI'S?
All this service for over a million dollars a MONTH!
Pfffft - time for a huge change!
I'm being asked to do the job that the PBSO should be doing? I don't get a pension! What if the medical community started doing this ? "Our nurses are really overworked so we need volunteers to start coming in to do their job. CHANGE THE BANDAGE,Y'ALL ! " Or how about "Our county staff can't keep up with road construction. We need volunteers from the public to help build our county roads. POUR THAT ASPHALT, Y'ALL."
ReplyDeleteThis is crap. Over a million dollars a month to PBSO in Lake Worth and I'm being told that it's on me to watch my home,neighborhood and town?
Time to hire private security.
