Gee, a couple of Springs councilmen have just
discovered that the Police Department was ignoring the intent of council.
If you folks aren't quick enough to figure out that the police have been operating without supervision for years and will do exactly what they want, you aren't quick enough to be on the council.
Let's see, six months ago it was the evidence destruction scandal, and the public discovered, at the same time the council discovered that the police sold the council on building a million dollar plus evidence building, but never planned to use more than half of it for evidence. When the police start throwing evidence out on unsolved murders, things are out of control.
I wonder if the "band of brothers" speed traps are directed by council? We would be better off if half of those cops were out looking for criminals. I guess the 1/4th per cent sales tax was necessary so that the city could fund speed traps to make more money! Maybe we could get another evidence building built and use half of it to house motorcycles.
It is obvious to me that when we replace our recently retired Chief, we should find new blood outside our current force. If we don't, in six months to a year, we will have someone on council expressing surprise once again that the department was circumventing or ignoring the will of council.
