WHERE ARE DEKALB POLICE - BUYING RV'S AND CUTTING RIBBONS. NOT SOLVING CRIME.

written by Vox Populi, December 11, 2007

WHERE ARE DEKALB POLICE - BUYING RV'S AND CUTTING RIBBONS. NOT SOLVING CRIME. Report in today's AJC says home invasion/robberies in DeKalb in 2006 numbered 173. For 2007 we are up 10% at 200. WHere has our police department been? Oh, out riding around in RV's.

One neighborhood near SW DeKalb High gets hit numerous times over the past year, AND POLICE DO NOTHING. SAY THEY CAN'T SEE A PATTERN. WHAT A JOKE. Now after all these home invasions they are going to overtime mode. Well great. But here's a question: WHY IS VERNON JONES MAKING THESE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND NOT LETTING THE CHIEF HANDLE THINGS? WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE FOR SO LONG?

You would have to be brain dead not to put out more patrols in 2006 and some focused investigations in the areas hit by such brazen crime. You would have to be brain dead not ot provide protection to the family who was about to testify in the criminal case when their home was invaded AGAIN and a child killed and others shot.

WHERE HAS OUR POLICE FORCE BEEN? WHY HAS THIS FUNDAMENTAL CRIMINAL EFFORT TAKEN YEARS TO EVEN GET UNDERWAY? I hate to say it, but under VErnon Jones our police department is a total disaster that has already happened. And all the overtime and face saving stuff Vernon now plans to do will never erase the basic incompetence of Jones.

Saw an RV today - parked at a mall with police cruisers all around it .... is that how this works?
I mean instead of cruising they were in the RV. It was a pretty color though - not really police cruiser colors.
