- Hey SCC, long time reader.
Was at roll call the other day on the west side and the Station Supervisor made an announcement that the Department was looking for 2 volunteers to work in the 016 District certain nights in November - not RDO people, not people on furlough, actual officers working to go north.
This isn't the first time either. It's a regular occurrence. Is 016 that short? Because I haven't seen any openings posted there for years. Do the reverends know that the west side is being shorted manpower to cover crime-free north side districts?
Well, leaving aside your sarcasm regarding crime-free areas of the city, we'd certainly like to know if midnights is short anywhere a lot of city workers live.
