@AMCLady Come to the HOA meeting each month their time is wasted to come & give a report & they stay the entire meeting . Keep in mind that 1 of our Board members is ALWAYS placed over security & security is talking to / reporting to that person . So ( why would that person make security come to the meetings ) & take away from the little bit of time that they are here on our streets ? Please remember we split these officers with WALDEN . $69,000 per officer divided by 2 = $34,000 then an 8 hr shift we have them 4 hrs then 1 hr to go eat we have them 3 hrs then ( they have to write their reports ) ???? How long does that take ????
Does their time on the clock start when they leave their home or the police station ???? My guess would be that it does . How much time per 8 hrs are we really getting ???? It easy to figure out 3 hrs now how long do the reports take ? And when does their time on the clock start ? How much time does ACIA really get for the money we put out ??? Do we get 2 hrs for every 8 hr shift ?? So this is the reason I don't like sharing officers And I don't like that my tax dollars go to the sheriffs also yet when I phoned them I was told NO YOU HAVE A PRIVATE CONTRACT you have to call Pct 4 ! Give me my money back & then I'm ok with calling Pct 4 . I like both group of officers I just don't like if I am forced to put tax dollars towards sheriffs I get a big fat ( O ) for those dollars spent .
I'm all for doing what Kings River did & that is to have our own officers & not split the cost . Even if we end up spending more I'm ok with that .
