Returning to Basics?

Another interesting rumor:

• Narcotics is going away. They are making 5 area narcotics teams that will fall under the patrol area deputy chiefs. That’s it. They will work out of the same offices as the PRT teams and still have access to 1505 and the Bursars office for money. Wallace is jumping ship and put in his papers for mid July. They told him he was going back to Lieutenant or he can retire. He chose to leave and not do the rest of the summer. This will all happen in September.

Is Homan Square being emptied out? Back in the day there were overd 1,000 personnel assigned there in fifteen or twenty units and sub-units. It was probably larger than HQ on occasion in terms of total bodies.

In practical terms, nothing should be manned until all of the beat cars on all watches are covered adequately. And once the beat cars are covered, then you can start with District tact teams and 06 cars.

After that, you can spend money and personnel on citywide units.
