Wait, if you do your job badly they give you more money? Perhaps I've been going about trying to get a raise the wrong way.

Dah!!

:banghead: Thats why I could never seem to get ahead I was doing it right the first time OH!!

That extra $5 Million is the expected cost of Federal Monitoring of the PD. Reports, extra personnel to generate them, etc. You're right, they should have been doing it right all along but just remember, it's Seattle PD. I had some experience with their Command Staff back in the 60's while working for a Seattle Company. That was back when the "Envelopes" were passed around from patrolman to chief, everyone taking their share from the cash in it until it made it to the top.

What's really changed?

Best thing that could happen to SPD is to be under DOJ's supervision. They'll fight it like hell and claim all the extra costs will hurt. Instead they'll just end up paying settlements for the misbehavior of their officers. I hope DOJ doesn't buy the BS the Mayor and Chief are putting out with their 20-20 "plan".

Is the five mill a year the anticipated payout for police misconduct?? Or is mcgrimm trying to intimidate the public? Beat them up, shoot them, charge them five mill a year. A good reason to stay out of seatlle

My thoughts exactly

HAHAHAHA! Oh man. This is what this country has come to?
How about introducing some radical laws that give the people some power and confidence to stand up to injustice, coupled with seriously deterring punishments for the actual law breakers?

That is how it is where I work. If you slack off all week, and do everything except your job, you get to work overtime to "catch up".

De unionize public sector employees, money will be saved and heads can roll....(figuratively of course)

LOL Sounds like normal Government employment to me.. Screw up to move up!

I mostly agree with SVG..
If they can't specifically Void the existing Union Contract and completely de-unionize. Then put the Union on official notice that due to the misconduct of their members, the cost of oversight will come out of their coffers and they have to figure out how to make it work.. That a Civilian Oversight Committee comprised of disinterested people (those who do not live in and have no associations to anyone in Seattle, the SPD or its Union) will be hired to handle all efficiency and misconduct reports from an Office Building located outside of King County to avoid any possibility of favoritism or coercion and that any SPD Officer not complying will receive a disciplinary discharge.

They could save themselves a bunch of cash and satisfy the FBI at the same time.

Oooh oooh!!!!

Pick me to run that commitee and I will ask for help on the OC forum. We will get shite straightend out in seattle.
