"The Port Angeles Police Department has spent the last 18 months working on a system that will accept reports of non-emergency crimes"
18 months for a website? They didn't even make it from scratch, it's just contracted out to a company that does this for lots of police departments.
How much is it costing us?
Oh great! This means nothing will happen when I report a crime, just like before, only now someone doesn't have to waste their time picking up the phone!
Agreed that this project should not have taken 18 months to come to fruition. Maybe they needed the extra time to solicit input from the Border Patrol, State Police, Tribal Police, and County Sheriff to make sure they covered all possible bases.
I can think of two possibilities...
1. Some web designer made out like a bandit. 18 months for one project? Yee haw!
2. (More likely) Some web designer spent 18 months in bureaucratic hell, trying to design by committee, getting tangled in one roll of red tape after another.
Either way, that's insane. If the government can't get a web site up in a (somewhat) timely manner, how can they cut waste or improve infrastructure or... you know... govern?
Followed that link... '90s style animated gifs for the WIN!!
For programs like this, a community needs to give a RATS ASS.
Won't work here, as our town runs on the bitterness and anger because of the broken dreams that resulted from decades of raping the environment and the entitlement attitude. Just too much on our minds with such short seasons, and with that un-American in the White House and all....and all those suspicious crowds voting for him. Scarry.
But go ahead, maybe it's a good idea to give a few people the chance to report the tweakers next door fifty times a day. I'm sure that the empowerment they feel and the support they will get from law enforcement, will make their neighborhood safer. Bang bang, oops.
Guns also make good reports.
A sharp explosive sound (especially the sound of a gun firing)
