You people are afraid of the schools not the police department. Sorry for my last post no spellcheck or grammer button on this machine.

Regarding the people who blew off this meeting out of supposed fear of retribution, I would have simply shown up on my bicycle so no one could get my plate number (and hence the ability to trace my address, because, sad to say, you KNOW they would do it). Unless you know them personally, how would the cops know who you are? It's not like you have to show ID and a utility bill with your address on it to attend one of these things, do you?

I've lived in Red Bank on a border street between Fairhaven and close to Little Silver for almost ten years. We have Red Bank and Fairhaven officers patrolling our sreets and occasionally Little Silver Cops.
I'm happy we have had no crime in ten years, I know the state is broke, but why is no one talking about dividing the towns into even smaller towns. Then I could have five or six police departments patrolling my street instead of two or three. My property taxes are high, but who cares this is New Jersesy we do not do things that make common sense. I know every cop hopes to be a police cheif with a six plus figure salary. As a State we already can not meet our pension obligations, but why should that matter!?!

I think part of what makes the plan flawed is that we won't receive adequate coverage, so thanks for making the point.

Bottom line is, it's never going to happen. One town has quietly already pulled out of all but one facet of the plan, and the other two are not going to agree with their terms, so it'll be a dead issue within a month or two.

Anyone with business sense can read this report and see there is no backbone to its financial arguments. Waving the 2mil flag, but it cannot be "guaranteed", nor broken down sufficiently by Patriot.
The savings also rely wholly upon finances being given from the SHARE grant program. They may NOT provide all the money needed, if they dont guess who foots the bill? Thats right taxpayers, and if the projected savings that cannot be guaranteed by Patriot dont come, and taxes possibly raise if this idea crashes and burns, guess who foots the bill? Thats right, taxpayers.

How about some common sense on here.

You know, my mother used to tell me that you know you are right when the best your enemies resort to name calling.

The talking points have changed for sure but the cops message still doesnt make sense. . . and the name calling is hysterical! Who is posting these comments? Second Graders?

It seems the argument against the reorg has switched from "we won't get adequate coverage" to "hey we're not against but this plan is flawed". Nice use of talking points local PBA!!!

Patriot showed the bloat and waste currently and projected possible savings. Now it's time for our officials to put together a plan and implement without foot dragging.
