"Police may not show for petty crimes"
May 21, 2005 Dallas Morning News "Police may not show for petty crimes": "Dallas police are tossing around the idea that responding to minor calls such as a bicycle stolen off a sidewalk may need to become a thing of the past.
The Police Department is struggling with limited manpower, high crime and slow response times to calls for help. Police officials hope that by not sending officers to investigate some noncritical thefts and lost-property reports they canlower response times for more life-threatening calls, such as murders and rapes.
'We're always exploring ways to reduce response times and to be able to better respond to more important calls,' said Sam Johnson, Police Chief David Kunkle's chief of staff."
My job would be easier too, if I didn't have to show up.
