It is only going to get worse with the budget cuts and less officers on the street. As it is now a traffic officer can spend his whole shift just going from wreck to wreck unable to do any normal ticket writing.
Oh Clark you are right I guess I shouldn't somewhat agree with Marc Wondra without his permission. Marc Wondra please let me know if you have a problem with me agreeing with your assertion that you are a dolt and/or worse.
I couldn't agree more about Marc Wondra being a dolt but quite frankly I think your are being too kind.
They changed it, that is OLD information(2006) They don't have elections anymore, the board appoints people now, not the cops. I believe that was one of the things Chris Collins did. Sorry if the truth bothers you, that can't be helped
BGHS/Crimcops-you are misinformed again Chris Collins is not elected. Just helping you out again.
This is the most one sided article I have ever read, come on Las Vegas Sun at least try and make an effort to be well rounded and not just a forum for a one sided rant.
