It is a trend in San Diego that appears will never end in our life time. Sad, sad, sad...<br /><br />Keep up the GREAT posts Steve.

It a real shame that the Department has gone backyard so badly. We had some hard times, but nothing like this with the amount of loss, both sworn and civilian.<br /><br />Steve, yopu do a fantastic job and, hopefully you can continue to spread the real story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231162963364357109.post-67565978826828947072009-07-06T11:51:53.649-07:002009-07-06T11:51:53.649-07:00Civilian - I totally agree with what you've sa...Civilian - I totally agree with what you've said. This also pertains to the civilians working for the PD, especially the "consequences." I have different job descriptions daily - payroll clerk, supply clerk, staff sergeant, admin. assistant, janitor, etc. I enjoy my job, but I've seen my staff go from 5 to 1! I do what needs to be done to keep the station running but there's coming a time when there's not enough personnel to handle it all. Then what? Oh yeah, we'll get a sworn person to do it at double the pay. Now that's really using city staff and money well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231162963364357109.post-22803214009769003862009-07-06T09:26:12.737-07:002009-07-06T09:26:12.737-07:00We have the cheapest citizens in San Diego too.

But they did not trust the city council would spend it properly. Wait, I think I just contradicted myself.
