Christmas Truce

WORKDOG is right and we agree--let's call a truce for the holidays. The issues will still be there, unfortunately, in January. What would be nice would be to work together on a solution to the convoluted shenanigans at the TPD. One suggestion is to have the Chief look over his official Job Description and see if there isn't some way to cut back on the overload from youth programs, computer classes, wireless installer, quartermaster, supply officer, etc., and just stick to the job of Police Chief. Another idea is to work with some local friends and set up a non-profit organization to take care of the Challenge Camp. The support is definitely there for the Camp. There is no criticism of the Camp and it's usefullness to area youth. If the Camp were a separate entity and could contract with the City under specific guidelines, many of these issues concerning co-mingled funds and phony expenses would go away. As long as the Challenge Camp is run as a city-sponsored activity, the people will have the right to look at the record. Turn the program into a private non-profit and the Chief and the family will not only have more control over the program, they will have more privacy. What do you think, WORKDOG? Could you help the Chief put this together, what with your training and education and experience and all? Shall we all work to fix it instead of sniping at each other?
