[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read through the recommendations. No surprised at all. It’s a typical attack on MCPD, something the county government has done frequently and successfully for a couple years now. The language is heavy with allegations that MCPD is the reason for the number of collisions in the county. Huh?

I suspect there are people on the PAC that feel like they are doing good by “fixing” the police. I just don’t think their efforts are sincere.

I wonder how successful they could be (and how many officers the county could contain instead of bleeding them to early retirement and transfers) if they would simply trying [b]working WITH MCPD [/b]instead of simply going on a joyful attack.

We have a good department, one that used to stand as a model to others nationwide. Politicians have made it a shell of what it was and what it could be. Are there problems? Of course. Nothing this council is actually doing is going to fix them, however. A sincere, honest intention and partnership isn’t there.[/quote]

That's what Elrich and Council should have done from the very beginning.  MCPD in particular has long had a culture of proactive improvement.  They would have worked with politicians to implement better practices.   And police may still bristle at change.  Nobody likes change, even when it's good.  But at least it would have been done in a more supportive environment.
