How many LEOs patrol your street

[Mr Bogus]

Exactly right, there was a big meth bust in a neighboring county last week...the car was pulled for a routine traffic stop...they had meth, Oxycontin, and other narcotics on board...

yea we had one in Indiana this last week and the lady had an "ACTIVE" meth lab running in her car... WTF? active? I would take that to mean they were making meth in the car? dumb broad, should have bought a van..

Only time they come on my street is when someone calls them. Wish they patrolled every half hour, then they'd notice the tweaker that lives behind me being up all night.

Man that is funny, cause they never come down mine either unless called, and i have a tweaker living down the rode from me also, dont matter what time ya go by there he is out in the yard working wether it be day time or 3 or 4 in the morning he is in the yard with the lights on working on something and he dont care who see's him. he thinks he is invincable, and i promise ya he counts every car that goes by you can tell he dont miss any of them.

Well swat team leader is my next door neighbor so..

We have about 3 or 4 that live in the neighborhood. We live in the county so we don't have a "patrol" unless the meth heads around the corner start randomly firing guns again.

Looks like the collective O-R-G membership "live in the hood"..... I currently live sandwiched between two large apartment complexes on East Tropicana, and yet most of my neighbors here are casinos employees, and older 40+ types. Doesn't mean the other locals don't cut between the larger complexes through our parking lot window shopping, and it also doesn't mean that Spudley's Busa doesn't get locked up on the patio behind a dead-bolt gate, underneath a cover, with a wheel lock, battery tender, and the alarm set......I love seeing metro around here...

I've lost count of the number of active labs we have found on traffic stops. When I first started with the dept we were so ate up with meth we were literally busting two or three labs per day on average. My first arrest as a LEO was a meth arrest which came from a traffic stop. They had finished product as well as two propane tanks of anhydrous in the vehicle and various other items. My first hit with the tactical team was a meth lab as well, as a matter of fact one person arrested was present for both events. How bizarre is that?

i live on a court so i would say almost never cause i do have a cop neighbor so i guess it happens a little

 

[jefferycarman]

I live in a neighborhood of cul-de-sacs. There is almost no pathways all the way through. So the only time the LEO's drive on my street (it's a cul-de-sac) is when I call to report my stereo stolen

Other than that we have been here for a year and have not seen a single patrol through. Just responses.

 

[F=MA]

Never.

We don't live in a neighborhood that requires police presence on a routine basis.

I did have a local Sheriff Department Deputy pull into my driveway once as I was out in the yard. That was strange. I guess he didn't want to drive the 1/4 mile down the road to use the cul-de-sac to turn around in.

I think law enforcement efforts are pretty well balanced where I live. I might just be at that age though where it seems that way. Were I fifteen years younger or fifteen years older I might well have a different opinion.

Funny how that works.

They're usually blocking the turn into my street trying to catch speeders. Even had one follow me home once, but I was already parking the bike through the front door when he pulled up.

 

[Revlis]

Not a one...

Which is why I'm armed. Cops aren't there to protect you, they'll show up just in time to take the report and launch the investigation though.

 

[pbghost]

quite often...3/4 mile from the cop shop. wife used to work there for 9 1/2 years (dispatch, not leo) so people are used to seeing patrol units in the driveway talking to us. no problems yet...'cept the streetwalkers stay on the other block not ours so I get my exercise

 

[Revvv]

I can't remember the last time I saw an officer patrolling my street.

It is much more cost effective to be on the highway catching lots of speeders endangering nobody. Why waist your time in a neighborhood where people slow down when they see you. You can't write very many tickets.

I live near the end of a dead end street that is 25mph. It is long enough that people get going much faster than they should. There is an area, still in the neighborhood, where a cop sits every now and then and I stopped and asked him once if he could sit on my street. He said it is difficult because people slow down when they see him and he doesn't catch many people speeding. ???

So I say thanks and ask if he could get over there a little.

I am thinking, it is fine with me that people slow down. It is a neighborhood there are kid out playing and people walking dogs. Isn't the job "To PROTECT and Serve" I really can't think of many examples of where police actually protect, but simply being present so people slow down, I would think is a form of protecting people. He might even be shocked at how many people come up and say hello. Of course his ticket count would go down.

I couldn't have said it much better myself, but that is true, and it is something wrong with our system.

You keep saying that, but you're wrong. That's highly unusual for you sir. But officers do patrol, our mere presents prevents crime, we catch people in the act, we catch people where they shouldn't be, we do public interviews that cause people to go home for some odd reason.

I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

I think the question should be how sad is that? It's awesome that said person was caught again but unfortunately the original bust wasn't a sufficient deterant. I know the systems is not perfect (and never will be) but when it comes to something as serious as meth I personally wish it was a little harsher. Keep bringin' those tweakers in! lease:

well I gotta say if a cop lives on your street or you live next door to
the police station and you voted...you kinda skewed the data a bit.
(or if you are a cop and voted on yourself )
