[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched the public safety meeting this morning.  I haven't been a great fan of hers, but I think she asked some good questions.  On point.  Part of this is just that she's brand new.  [/quote]

I missed it, but am interested. What questions did she ask?

She is brand new. That’s why she should be visiting districts, doing ride-alongs, attending the citizen’s academy, and doing everything else possible to be informed about policing in the county. [/quote]

The ones I remember were:

How did the retirement plans for 911 call takers compare to other counties? And apparently ours and one other are the only ones without a real retirement out of 24 counties.

She asked them to explain their process for filling specialized police positions when there weren’t enough police for patrol.  How does the department pick which detective spot needs to be filled?  They said a lot is caseload. Like Silver Spring needs more detectives than Rockville. And sex crimes and special victims needs more people than drug crimes.

The other one was about security services.  Their staffing levels and use around the county.  I don’t remember the answer  to that one though.

Good questions. I am curious about what can be done to increase staffing levels. [/quote]
