Both the Sheriff's and police departments have a big problem:
"Absolute Power Corrupts, Absolutely"!
And too many off the deputy's fall into this too easily. Young, uneducated. 'Unseasoned'.
And too many of them do not accept the fact that the human consciousness will get to them eventually. Hopefully, sooner than later.
Prioritization of their responsibilities is a major problem.
And this goes hand in hand with the dispatch personnel as well.
An excellent example would be the traffic issue.
To begin with, it is the number one killer and injurer in the country. Including Fairfax, Va. as well as the entire country, overall.
Motorized Vehicle Operators that do not know how to drive. Reckless driving. Following too close behind another is probably the most habited violation out there. And it is reckless driving.
What if a deer or other large animal runs out into the road in front of the car you are tailgating? They would have to suddenly stop and you would slamm your car into the one you are tailgatlife
And no one has to do the speed limit. That is just a suggested safe speed for the given road environment. And it is rutting season for the deer herds running thru the areas roads.
But getting back to the Deputy's and dispatch not prioritizing the calls or their respective duties.
Over 43,000 deaths PLUS hundreds of tens of thousands were seriously injured and many crippled for life last year on record because of the many Motorized Vehicle Operators driving recklessly.
Now, for example, if a police or dispatch person is getting thousands of calls a day about Motorized Vehicle Operator's driving recklessly, in which they very well do, and one or two, maybe even three calls comes in about a much less dangerous issue, let's say, about someone doing something that is not indangering other peoples lives like Motorized Vehicle Operator's traffic violations. What kind of thinking dispatcher or police officer would give the other than traffic violation report any sort of priority over the not dangerous one to anyone? And let's say the traffic violation calls do subside a bit and the dispatcher forwards the call to a policeman. The policeman is headed for the site of the report, for example, that a cat is stuck in a tree or something of the sort. It is just about garaunteed that the officer will witness a traffic violation by a reckless Motorized Vehicle Operator. Now, common sense should prevail here. The more serious and dangerous issue should very well be addressed and take immediate priority over the much less important call. This also goes with the officer's training and sworn oath to the public. "To Serve And Protect". In which is the traffic violation. Without a doubt whatsoever this is fact not an opinion. And too many timed a young cocky conceited cop or a disgruntled one or dispatchers are not fullfilling their duty's such as this honestly. And doing so makes them a dishonest cop or dispatcher as well. And they know it. Eventually, thank God, their consciousness, or soul if you are a religious peeson, will eventually catch up to these types.
Anyone with any sense of common decency would tend to, at some point, feel pretty bad with the thought of the 40,000 PLUS per year dead body's piling up into the morgues. And those hundreds of thousands of seriously injured, crippled and maimed human beings pouring into the hospitals with some of them with their entire futures destroyed with the disability imposed by a Motorized Vehicle Operator not driving safely!
This should be a major issue with the IA as well.
