Jim, there are some numbers for you at the end of the police's file.<br>
You may wonder why the patrolled area has decreased.<br>
I may wonder as well.<br>
<br>
I disagree that the goals and objectives are unnecessary to give a
picture of what we do.<br>

was hoping we could get some kind of inventory of city services so we
could
prioritize them and identify possible duplications of service. I think
this
would be a good idea too. I think people will be impressed to see the

services they receive for an average price of $60/month/household. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

What we can do, and may eventually have to do, is go line by line
through
departments' Goals and Objectives (there's a short Program Description
but I
think it's not helpful for this discussion) and decide what has to be
kept and
what has to go. For what it's worth, I don't see anything in this list
that
should be done away with. Oh, and the part about maintaining evidence?
Our
facilities don't lend themselves to that. I'm trying to put it nicely.<br>
