Crime & Safety::Journal Square is NOT a Homeless Shelter
Why didn't you say you were talking about the PATH station?? You're talking about the bums who hang out at the PATH station. Now I get it. There's a Journal Square Improvement District office located right there that you can also lodge a complaint with.

I think the issue of possibly bumping into a perp somewhere around town is an insufficient reason for cops to need to live elsewhere. The same risk is there for anyone who has ever served on a jury (jury duty is compulsory, remember?) or as a witness. Not only that, but if a perp really wanted to find a police officer with his guard down, he wouldn't have to look that far. There are a number of well-known watering holes at which some police officers congregate after work routinely.

Living in the town you police is one of the building blocks of police-community relations. There will be much greater mutual respect between citizens and police officers when they are each other's neighbors.

Having cops commute in from out of town, stick around for 8 hours performing a detail while trying to stay out of danger (and in some cases catching some Zs), and then shoot home doesn't contribute much to the overall safety and orderliness of the city.

By the way, I don't think we should paint all JCPD officers with the same broad brush. It's a large force with a lot of good eggs in it.

I too find much of our police force "good eggs" and we are fortunate to have those who dont want to work under accountability leave by July 1st.

I can't wait for the audit that is to come.

However, I want to post a small anecdote that involved my own , umm... "inebriated condition" one night celebrating Fulop's election at Barcade. I must have blacked out on the street after closing, as I found myself splayed legs outward, butt on ground when a police car pulled up. The nice officer asked if he could help me up (I'm 200 lbs, 6'2" and a bi-lateral amputee so not easy)and he first offered to drive me home but then said since I was covered in vomit he instead would walk me home. He then did just that, escorted me home to make sure I didn't fall again saying, "Hey, we got a new Mayor! Did you vote?" Yes, I did officer and thanks!

Absolute horrible journalism. Do they actually know how many males in JC are between 5'9" and 6'0" with a medium build?

The race, age and height were mentioned in the article that ran when the event first occurred. I guessed you missed that.

I did in fact see the first article, however people that read this one without reading the first one will not know their race. A suspect description is a suspect description. Why remove race from that?
