Guess that's a good thing ehh. But that shouldn't subtract from their value. It's a touchy topic, and I value the opinions from both sides. I don't believe passing Issue 2 is for the better personally, and I don't think Officers (or emergency personnel) should suffer because City/Village Administrators over spend, or run a tight budget.

I'd knocked the &*%$ out of someone trying to do that. What the hell is wrong with these people. Let me catch someone trying to lure one of my grandchildren into their car.

The jobs are the same, just a larger population. With a larger population comes more officers. (i.e. Back-up, work-load) I think PATROL officers from larger populations are over-paid and the pay ceiling (salary cap) should be in place. Not trying to take away from the importance of having reliable, trustworthy officers, but some of these officers make way to much. For example, a Franklin County Jailer makes in excess of $30.00 an hour in as little as 5 years of service. I want that job! 8) This needs to be address immediately.

Talked to the Trooper and he said most of the guys he's talked to are not to thrilled about the switch over. I think it will grow on them in time like everything else.

Can't say I liked it at first glance, but I can see the reasoning behind to an all blue light setup.
