Lets go ahead and cancel ICP and return the current 50 officers and 4 sergeants to the road. The precincts will start using them as a NET team again or for some other type duties. A majority of the cars will go back to MM because we don't have any laptops available. Special purchases had to be made just to get the screens. Get 5 rookies and it seems you lose 5 veterans to CID or some other unit. You'll never have enough people or cars. Don't you get it? The whole system has been broken since before Bolton even got here. As notcar1 stated the public actually likes the ICP concept and my bet is they won't like it being cancelled however misguided it may be. I agree with the anonymous poster that there are much more important fights to made. Start looking at the big picture. Chief Bolton is trying to gain public support to keep his job. This whole thing is about politics and needs to be fought as such. We need to get the community on our side because only they have the power to force the changes we require.
Guys/gals we can all scream about the chief and his crazy policies. It won't be until the CITIZENS put pressure on the CEO and BOC that things will change. Furthermore, replacing the chief is just a small step, we desperately need public support (money) to fix the inadequateness of the last 8 years. Otherwise all your doing is replacing the captain of the Titanic and still running into the same iceberg. So you can scream, "Let them Eat Cake!" and be complaining about the same crap 20 years from now or get smart and beat them at their own game. I choose the latter. Flame away.

Kudos to you!! You hit the nail on the head. In effectiveness, ICP may only be PR but as a citizen, it has been nice to see, very visibly, the PD reaching out to the community. There are those of us who care and want our communities and PD to be all that they can.
No matter your position on this issue, thank you to all of our faithful officers!!
Effective?
Yeah, in generating so many POAP's that I could spend half the watch trying to get one or two entries on each POAP.
How about an ICP officer or two assigned to each watch with the responsiblity of doing just POAP's.
Kinda like a paperboy with a company supplied bike. At the start of each watch, the ICP officer would be given a route that would take him from one POAP to the next.
