Unhappy With Police
Last night, at the GCCC meeting, Mt. Hope residents expressed displeasure with the recent performance of our District 8 police officers!
We will be elaborating on what we learned from residents at last night's GCCC meeting, but in a nutshell here are a few complaints heard more than once.
Too much sitting around in the Sub-station!
Not enough patrolling in cars up and down our streets.
Not a quick enough response to calls.
Unable to respond effectively when defied by local punks who refuse to respond to officers request.
Too long a hold time when phoning dispatchers.
We think these complaints are all easily fixable. Lt. Kohen has always been very responsive to the community's needs and has a good rapport with the men and women under his command. I predict an improvement when these fine officers realize the extent of residents unhappiness with the policing situation. It's been a long, tough winter for us all.
We will be contacting Lt. Kohen for a meeting and he will be invited with his officers to our next meeting within three weeks.
We pay the same high tax rate other East Side neighborhoods pay, and we expect the same quality of service!
