Patrol the streets and arrest bad guys. In bad neighborhoods, do it more. That is all you need to do, you don’t need a cop to sleep there, sleeping in a bad neighborhood just makes the cop more vulnerable.

This city is never starved for stupid ideas.

Agree with you about Gillum-influenced funding decisions and let’s add Maddox.

People forget that Scott Maddox bragged to FBI agents that he was able to influence our local gov’t’s decisions through leverage from hiring Rick Fernandez, Reese Goad, and Ben Pingree.

Gee, how much extra is THIS going to cost us? Let me guess, the City or County will rent the House and let an Officer or two live in the House for free so there is an Officer in the area. I get that BUT, what will the Rent be? My guess is a LOT more than it normally would be for that area. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just assign a couple of Officers to Patrol the High Crime Areas a LOT more?

This has wasted tax dollars with worthless results written all over it. In case you hadn’t noticed, criminals have little to no fear whatsoever of Law Enforcement. A dangerous, destructive, and by-design environment manifested by the Marxicrats and their Media PACs.

Will the taxpayer funded home be part of the employees compensation?

Parent’s idea – if effective – would certainly be a better use of the funds.

Also the nonprofits involved in the Gillum scandal needs to be audited and those audits made public (and probably need to be shut down). Nonprofits giving money to campaigns that are allowing the candidates to spend the money for personal expenses is not properly monitored as we recently saw last week at the Gillium / Lettman-Hicks trial.

– Just how will an employee be told where to live? Is it a Department wide lottery? This would not make me likely to work for the department. If you forced me to move as a term of employment or incentivized someone else to move in my department, I think I would file a lawsuit.

– Crime is MUCH lower in neighborhoods where families live. Whole families, A mom and a dad. A nuclear family built on love, respect, kindness, discipline, and responsibility. There are many local government programs (new ones) and mentoring, churches, etc to address (poorly) the problems in these neighborhoods. What you are really asking for is that the taxpayers pay more to provide a father figure in your neighborhood.

I think you are failing and grasping. Teach young men how to be men.

No end to wasteful spending.
