#5 When I applied for a CCW permit I wondered why the fee was nearly a hundred bucks. After all, the department has all the resources for a process that takes less than a few minutes. And that includes everything from the background check to making the physical card. My suspicions were confirmed that personnel costs were covered from the general budget and all the revenue goes into a slush fund. Last year they used a small portion to purchase a load of bitchin HDTV’s for the gym and break rooms.

#7 Off the top of my head, none specifically.

However there are others, like charges for repeated false security alarms or for repeated response calls to a locale where no response was necessary, required hiring of supernumerary or off duty cops for road construction/utility work, large public functions, etc.

Also in some areas, volunteers have taken over a lot of routine schtuff like clerical work, vacation home checks, directing traffic at accidents, setting up mobile speed monitoring stations, and so forth.

The big issues are pension and medical disability funding. Those definitely need to be restructured and the latter tightened. Good luck with that, tho.

(I also find it amusing that the poster, who among other things, excoriated police departments for not hiring "geniuses," is now getting bent out of shape over some "out of the box" thinking, and a four-plus year old article at that.)
