Anyone wanna put out an APB on Dep. Major Michael Pristoop of the Western District? Yeah, the guy who was to replace Maj. Lukasik as Commander in the Northern.

Lukasik has moved on to the Property unit, while Pristoop is... currently deemed a Missing Person. Maybe it's one of those Twilight Zone episodes with a door to another reality. I know we in Northern could use another reality. This one su@ks.

Anyhow, it seems that dep. Major Bozzuro is in charge of the Northern for the moment... again. We went through this nonsense about a year ago after Maj. Regis Phelan was excommunicated by then-Commissioner Kevin Clark.

Not that it matters, really, because the answer will be the same regardless of the speaker "I cannot control the expanding crime. I have no personnel."

Wouldn't it be nice to have a functional police department, like cities which are not ranked second-most high crime in the nation?

Oh, that's right, to have a functional department, you need a functional Commissioner most of the time. And you're probably not going to get that until you have a functional Mayor, rather than a full-time gubernatorial candidate.

Yes, crime was virtually unknown in Baltimore under the prior mayors and commissioners.

so what determines whether or not the state police will get involved in an investigation? i'm pretty sure i remember murder investigations in frederick county that are conducted by the sheriff's office, not the state police.

Galt, you should start your own blog! You have what it takes: endless fonts of outrage!

Hardly endless. They're just continuously replenished, courtesy of the felonious majority in my neighborhood.

As to crime before the Big O', at least the local gendarmes intended to deal with it as it ebbed and flowed. The present Mayor and Commissioner might as well have 'Gone fishin' - Back in November.' signs hanging on their doors. This is not about name-calling; it's about getting the J-O-B done. Radical concept in this town.
