Not very responsible...

I'm trying not to take personal offense to the blanket statements about police officers, as I'm married to one. But I'd like to clear the air here. Police officers have to balance their time effectively and that means focusing on some cases and ignoring others. Perhaps you've noticed the high amount of drunk drivers on the roads every weekend. I've followed one myself for 30 miles and called the police 4 times without any response. It's frustrating to the extreme, but the fact is that there are too many crimes being reported and not enough police to respond. As responsible citizens, we should think twice the next time we call the authorities to report something. Does our complaint really warrant their help, or is it something we can handle on our own? Perhaps there is someone or something that needs help much more that we do. All of the petty reports being called in simply make it harder for cops to help the people who really need them.

Being a responsible manager means asking for input instead of making decisions in a vacuum.
